Alexakis is Everclear’s principal songwriter and long-running front person, a band made famous in the mid-’90s with the massive success of singles likeSo Much For The AfterglowEven their soundtrack offerings cracked the charts. When I tell Alexakis I’m a fan of “Local God” from Baz Luhrmann’ssoundtrack, Alexakis sits up excitedly and recounts a tour through Australia at the peak of that soundtrack’s power.
It’s an album that so few have had the opportunity to hear, it’s been out of print since 1999, and even Alexakis hadn’t revisited it in years. Still, the memory ofbrings the singer to life, “Sometimes you take that energy and your past for granted, it becomes a small compartmentalized thing,” he says. “Listening to this record, digging through all these different mixes and artwork and stuff, that brought up a lot of good memories that weren’t so good at the time.
