Alt-rockers Everclear played a packed room at Royale this week. Supported by Jimmie’s Chicken Shack and Marcy Playground, they chilled the room with icy riffs leading into hits like “Santa Monica” and “Everything to Everyone”. Longtime fans will appreciate the deeper cuts on the setlist that included a cover of Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl”. Frontman Art Alexakis made an emotional dedication to his wife in the middle of the set, before launching into “Learning How to Smile”. With many a round of heartfelt thanks to the other bands, and a duet performance between Marcy Playground and Jimmie’s Chicken Shack, it’s obvious these dudes love touring together. Considering how many young people turned out to see them all (probably) for the first time, we hope they keep coming back.
