Everclear @ Marchesa Hall & Theatre, Friday, July 2

I’m really excited about seeing Everclear on Friday at the Marchesa Hall & Theatre.  I mean, really excited!  This show is just the next stop for the ever-growing 90’s summer concert train (see post below*).

I think Everclear is underrated, like so many other 90’s bands that I like.  You know, the bands that prompt questions like “Oh yeah, what was their hit?”.  The problem is, they probably had about 7 big hits and I can never figure out why no one remembers that.  Anyway, their songs are catchy and awesome.  I’m also curious to see what the Marchesa Hall & Theatre is like.  I think it used to be the Monarch Events Center.

* Since I wrote the post below, 90’s band news is just pouring in.  For example, the Pixies will be playing at Austin Music Hall on September 22.  Also, one of my personal favorites, Bush, is reuniting.  Oh, Gavin!  Hole is also touring, but they aren’t coming to Austin.   Finally, the Alamo Drafthouse is making my dreams come true by bringing back the 90’s alternative sing along on August 19 and 26.  Best.  Sing along.  Ever.

90s-collageGet in your time machine and turn the dial to “1990s”.  This summer, the 90s are back!  It all started when Toad the Wet Sprocket played at Antone’s on May 16th.  I unfortunately did not attend.  However, I will be attending the Goo Goo Dolls on June 9th at Austin Music Hall…with my mom.  Don’t worry,  I won’t tell ‘em your name.  The next night, June 10th, you can see Cracker at Stubb’s.   Wait, there’s more!

On June 19th,  Concrete Blonde will be performing Bloodletting at Emo’s. Exciting, yes?  You can catch Everclear at Marchesa Hall & Theater on July 2nd.  Everclear!  Next comes Marcy Playground on August 5th at the Red Eyed Fly.  I hear that place smells like sex and candy.   Finally, Lilith Fair is back and will be in Austin on August 14th.  The location has not been announced yet, but the lineup is pretty good (except for Colbie Caillat, of course).

In related 90s news, Pavement and Soundgarden are back together and I saw the Gin Blossoms for free last weekend in Dallas.  Jealous?
