Everclear announces 2024 tour with Marcy Playground. Get tickets

In 2000, Everclear got ambitious.

Following the success of their hit 1997 record “So Much For The Afterglow,” the band decided to release the sonically adventurous double album “Songs From An American Movie.”

Sales stalled because of how the record was rolled out — Vol. 1 hit shelves in July; Vol. 2 came out just four months later in November.

Now, a quarter century later, Art Alexakis and co. are dusting off “Songs From An American Movie” and taking the double album on the road along with fellow ’90s legends Marcy Playground and Jimmie’s Chicken Shack.

Along the way, they’ll visit Huntington, NY’s The Paramount on Oct. 6 and Asbury Park, NJ’s Asbury Lanes on Oct. 11.

“Join us as we celebrate 25 years of ‘Songs from an American Movie’, which we’ll be putting out on vinyl for the first time ever later this year,” Everclear shared on Instagram.

“A lot of these songs we haven’t played in a while or, in some cases, we’ve never played live before. We’ll of course be playing the hits and fan favorites too.”

Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster until Friday, April 26, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.

Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

*Shows from May through August are not officially part of the ‘Soundtrack From An American Movie Tour.’ All bolded September through November concerts are part of the newly announced tour.

Listen to “Soundtrack From An American Movie”

As noted above, “Soundtrack From An American Movie” is a double album.

The first album, the 14-track “Learning How To Smile” features a handful of modest hits for the group including the bouncy “AM Radio” and the upbeat cover of Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl.”

Our hot take is the evocative title track “Learning How To Smile” is the real winner here; jaunty instrumentals and romantic lyrics about “leav(ing) this place and run(ning) away” are sure to melt even the most cynical hearts.

Hard rockin’ “Now That It’s Over” and “Unemployed Boyfriend” are bona fide headbangers, too.

Album number two — dubbed “Good Time For A Bad Attitude” and comprised of 12 songs — features crunchy, radio-friendly jams like “When It All Goes Wrong Again,” “Rock Star” and “Short Blonde Hair.”

Most of the record stays in that lane. Still, there’s one notable exception.

Folksy “The Good Witch Of The North” shows off Alexakis’ sensitive singer-songwriter side as the band wades into soft pop territory.
