FEB 25: ANOTHER SF REVIEW

Here's one more SF review, although this one is kinda harsh. It's from RollingStone.com.

Just goes to show the difference between going to a show as a fan and going to a show as a rock critic.

(Thanks Matt and Ashley!)

FEB 23: SF REVIEWS AND PICS

Sonicnet has added this review of Friday's show in San Francisco.

They have also added a small gallery of photos from the show, located on their Gavin Showcase. Click the "More" link on the left frame to get to the Everclear pics.

(Thanks Eric!)

FEB 22: STEVE BIRCH'S EXHIBIT

If you happen to be in Portland, Oregon in the next few weeks, Steve Birch has put together a small exhibit of photographs taken during the year that he toured with Everclear as their second guitarist.

The photographs are on display at the American Museum of Snapshots, located in downtown Portland on NW 6th near Everett, just north of the Everett Station Lofts building.

No word on low long the photographs will be on display.

(Thanks Mike and Liz!)

FEB 21: FIRE RECORDS COMPILATION

Not exactly a new release, or anything major, but being that things are so slow, it's probably worth a mention.

Atomic Pop is releasing a US version of the 1998 Fire Records compilation I Wouldn't Piss on It If It Was on Fire on Tuesday, February 29th.

The original release was a 37-track, double CD release - no word yet on whether all of the original's tracks will appear on the new release.

FEB 21: SAN FRANCISCO SHOW

The show at Bottom of the Hill took place this past Friday. Ticket scarity were mostly related to the show's association with the Gavin Convention. "Industry people" ended up with most of the tickets.

As is common with "industry" shows like this, most of the audience were actually there to see the openers - 8 Stops 7, Deckard, and Stir. By several accounts, the club was far from full by the beginning of Everclear's set.

Everclear debuted a new song, entitled "Now That It's Over" during the show. The band hopes to make it the first single, hopefully due out in May.

FEB 1: NEW ALBUMS DELAYED

According to a story in the January 29th issue of Billboard Magazine:

Everclear is presently going through renegotiations with Capitol Records, which will delay the two albums due out this year.

The story quotes Art as saying that they're still receiving the same royalty rate (the amount the band makes per album sold) as they did when they first signed to Capitol in 1994.

Art said they're planning to continue working with Capitol. (The band has four more records in their contract, which includes the two this year.) But the negotiations will delay the first album until late Spring / early Summer. The second record will likely be delayed until the fall.
