Wanna feel old? Everclear is currently celebrating the 20th anniversary of its breakout album, Sparkle and Fade. The album gave us the depressingly optimistic single “Santa Monica” and seemed to perfectly sum up the feelings of a generation at the time.
Like Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” or Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun,” “Santa Monica” never seems to go away and remains the defining song for Everclear, despite other successful singles. Read more about the band in this week's Sound Advice.
Everclear plays Friday with Hydra Melody at Bogart's. More info/tickets: bogarts.com .
