Alt-rock event comes to San Francisco
Three bands in the indie and alt-rock genre are coming to San Francisco.
Sponge, and Local H are on the way, with Everclear headlining the show. Everclear formed in Portland, Oregon, in 1992 with Art Alexakis, Greg Eklund and Craig Montoya as the founders. Their first three albums, “Sparkle and Fade,” “Songs from an American Movie Vol. One,” and “So Much for the Afterglow” were all successful, certified 3x Platinum.
