Everclear will return to Bend Tuesday for a show at Silver Moon Brewing.

Every few years, Portland-based alt-rock heroes Everclear come back to Bend, and sometimes I write about them.

I’ve written about how they formed in the early 1990s in Portland, bridging the city’s punk-rock heyday of The Wipers and its indie-rock era, led by Elliott Smith and The Decemberists.

I’ve written about how they cranked out a bunch of hits during the post-Nirvana gold rush, most memorably “Santa Monica” and “I Will Buy You a New Life” and “Father of Mine” and “Wonderful.”

Each featured frontman Art Alexakis’ “tuneful tales of tough times set to reliably chugging electric guitars,” I wrote back in 2022. I like that!

I’ve also written about how my favorite Everclear is “Heroin Girl,” the gritty, poppy, punky first single — ahead of “Santa Monica,” somehow — from the band’s 1995 breakthrough album “Sparkle and Fade.”

And how I once ate one table over from Alexakis at the P.F. Chang’s in Portland’s Pearl District. (These seem to be declining in relevance to the general public.)

Anyway, this time through town they’re spotlighting songs from their 2000 album “Songs From An American Movie Vol. One,” which will be released on vinyl for the first time ever this month. And they’re bringing with them fellow alt-rock survivors Marcy Playground, best known for their 1997 hit “Sex and Candy.”

Welcome back, Everclear!

Everclear, with Marcy Playground and Jimmie’s Chicken Shack: 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 17, doors open 6 p.m., $31, Silver Moon Brewing, 24 NW Greenwood Ave., Bend, silvermoonbrewing.com.
