They get heard through the internet and selling mix tapes behind the gigs. People have to get out and tour to support themselves with their music. I think it is getting back to where it should be. WCT: What do you think about the music business, currently?Īrt Alexakis: What music biz? There is no music business. It will be one of the most aggressive records that I have written in years. It will have the piano, organs and stuff.

It sounds like our older stuff in some ways but some ways different. It's pretty rock n' roll, alternative rock. WCT: What is the new album going to be like?Īrt Alexakis: The next one we are going to record I have been writing for the last year or two. We have had some rocky roads and some really great times. I don't know anyone who is in a band that doesn't have a rocky road. WCT: It has been a rocky road to your success, correct? I watched VH1's Behind the Music.Īrt Alexakis: Well, that was interesting to watch. He gave me a call when his last band broke up and it happened to work out. One of the new guys I have been trying to get in the band since 2001, Freddy Herrera, our bass player. The guitar player is still there and we have three new guys. I had four new guys in the band after that and now three of them have left. Then there was a version with Craig, Greg and my old drummer, Scott. The original Everclear lineup was before the guys that showed up in the videos. It is probably the fifth, but it is probably the third that most people would know of. WCT: This is your third lineup with Everclear?Īrt Alexakis: Actually, no. Then at the end we go back in the studio and record a new record.Īrt Alexakis: Last October we put an album called In A Different Light.Īrt Alexakis: It is acoustic version of old Everclear songs and a couple of new songs. This is one of our shorter tours for this record we did the East and West. We go to the southwest and Texas then hit the Midwest. What part of your tour is Chicago?Īrt Alexakis: It is toward the end of the tour. WCT: I waited tables there for four years. You got a Weber Grill and meat, then I am happy. I saw you at the Weber Grill restaurant downtown Chicago years ago.Īrt Alexakis: Oh my God, The Weber Grillwhere you cook on Webers! I'm a guy. With a Chicago tour date coming up, it was time for the "Wonderful" singer to talk with Windy City Tmes. The musical group Everclear formed in 1992 and pumped out such hits as "Santa Monica" and "Father of Mine." While the line-up has changed over the years the one consistent member has been the lead singer, Art Alexakis.
