Call it back to the future.
Everclear — 90s purveyors of jangly, disaffected, and infectious California pop-punk — are still with us. As are Soul Asylum, whose 'Runaway Train' single lit up MTV in 1992 with its stark images of missing children. And Spacehog, who ripped off the best bits of Bowie and Bolan and repackaged them for the millennium.
They're on tour with fellow 90s stalwarts Eve 6, and we're not sure what to call it — an alternative revival? Nostalgia? The best live bar jukebox you'll ever see?
It's all that, really. Don't think of it as getting older — think of it as the persistence of youth, the inevitability of summer guitar music, all the reasons why you loved 'em in the first place.
The Summerland Tour is at ACL near Lamar Union on July 9.
