MERRIN chosen as Main support for U.S, band Everclear

Wellington Band MERRIN chosen as Main support for U.S. Power Pop Heavyweights Everclear on their NZ Tour

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of seminal album “Sparkle and Fade,” Everclear will be performing the entire Sparkle & Fade album from start to finish as well as all their hit songs, plus tracks from their forthcoming ninth studio album “Black is the New Black.”

Lead by founder & songwriter Art Alexakis, Everclear blazed a trail through the 90's with their infectious hooks and articulate lyrical content, scoring multiple smash hits and galvanizing a generation of long-time fans. "There is such a buzz of enthusiasm for our new album … it's an unapologetic rock record that I feel combines the best of classic Everclear with contemporary production and what I feel is some of my best song writing in years." Says Alexakis.

New Zealand holds a special place for Everclear. “I love the people, the country and everything about it. I can’t wait to get back down there, we had a blast last time round in 2012, so we are coming back to NZ first before the rest of the world.”

Soul-Infused Rock band MERRIN are to support the Wellington gig at Bodega, Sun 3rd May.

Dubbed “The Band That Was Never Meant To Be” and releasing their sophomore EP later this year, MERRIN guitarist Karl Wootton has been a fan since his teens and grew up listening to Everclear. “It’s surreal. As a kid, I was awestruck. Years later I still get those chills and now MY band is on the same bill – it’s crazy.”
