Art Alexakis of Everclear w/ Brendan B. Brown of Wheatus
Art Alexakis and Brendan B. Brown have announced a joint Australian tour for February 2024, delivering the Everclear and Wheatus team-up fans could only ever dream of.
The respective frontmen – Alexakis of Everclear and Brown of Wheatus – will each perform acoustically, with collaborations all but guaranteed. They’ll both perform cuts from their main bands’ iconic discographies, albeit stripped back and in much more intimate venues than they’re typically known to play.
They’ve also promised concertgoers a uniquely interactive experience, with a press release explaining that each set will also see the artists “telling in-depth stories behind each of their songs” and inviting punters to ask them “any questions of their choosing throughout the evening”.
The tour will span a mighty 15 dates along the east coast, South Australia and Western Australia, starting with four back-to-back Queensland shows between Thursday February 1 and Sunday 4. From there they’ll play a sole show in Kaurna/Adelaide – taking to the Lion Arts Factory on Thursday February 8 – before hitting WA with a trio of shows over that weekend. Three shows in Victoria will follow, with the tour then wrapping up over four shows in New South Wales.
Feedback/Comments
Enjoyable night.
Having been to the Brunswick Ballroom before, I knew the event was being held in a beautiful setting.
The night didn't disappoint in this respect. It is an intimate, well-decorated !and lit venue, perfectly suites to the electric acoustic stylings of the artists performing tonight.
Brendan Brown began the night, and played many different tunes from his extensive catalogue with his band Wheatus.
Art Alexakis, the main man from Everclear, held the audience captivated, and performed both the big hits and deeper cuts from his large library of tunes.
Both artists were very down-to-earth individuals, who gave a lot of their time on the night to fans who sought to greet them.
Having taken my partner, we both had a fantastic night, and would like to thank the venue and IOTH for the tickets for the night.
