		To escape the unhappiness of his home life, Alexakis turned to drugs at an early age as a form of escape, but when he was 12 years old, his older brother died from a heroin overdose.
		Alexakis' penchant for trouble didn't subside throughout his teenage years, as he had numerous run-ins with the law; resulting in stays at both juvenile hall and jail.
		Alexakis found himself in an alt-country band around this time himself, Colorfinger, issuing a lone album, 1990's Deep in the Heart of the Beast in the Sun (several Colorfinger tracks would later be reworked by Everclear, including "Heartspark Dollarsign," "The Twistinside," and "Why I Don't Believe in God").

	WL The Press: Spin 08/96
		At age 34, Art Alexakis - a recovering drug addict, the married father of a four-year-old girl - may be a little old for such a scene.
		Alexakis might be just another Northwest rock auteur, one in a long line of goateed singer/songwriter/distorted-guitar dudes spreading gloom and detuned power chords across the land, but he has mastered more facets of his craft than just about anybody.
		Alexakis may be all, some, or none of the evil things his detractors claim (need?) him to be, but one thing is for certain: Here, now, it could hardly matter less.

	Las Vegas Mercury: Off the Charts: Everclear
		Part of the problem is that Alexakis, the 41-year-old frontman for Portland grunge-punks Everclear, is a baby boomer preaching to Generation Y--an age gap not easily bridged by a tube of hair gel and a sloppy bleach job.
		The other problem is that Alexakis is not a conventional rock star, at least not in terms of his musical development.
		When police investigators responded to the scene of his brother's death, Alexakis overheard one conclude that it was "just another overdose"--a line repeated verbatim in "Heroin Girl." The song also closely parallels the subsequent death of his girlfriend, who was discovered face down in a sewage drainage ditch in 1970.

		Alexakis is loathed in Portland's slack-like-me underground, and not just for that incident (he has, incidentally, since received counseling and is still married to the complainant).
		Though like many a songwriter, Alexakis makes way too much of his shitty childhood--deadbeat dad, schizo mom, and a subsequent feeling that "I will always be weird inside, I will always be a little lame"--he is a short-story writer at heart, moving easily among first-, second-, and third-person narratives.
		In short, Alexakis isn't afraid to be an asshole--or shoot holes in certain perverted rock 'n' roll myths.

		Alexakis promises his set will include Everclear staples like "Santa Monica," "I Will Buy You a New Life" and "Wonderful," as well as two new songs, "Glorious" and "Volvo Driving Soccer Mom." "It takes a shot at the right wing a little bit," he says of the latter.

		ALEXAKIS: I like reading things that are clever and intellectual and funny and that can strike a chord with me, but at the same time, I like things that are very instinctive, that hit a note in me. I think that just goes deeper into what we're about.
		ALEXAKIS: To be honest with you, I'm more excited about music and the possibilities that are ahead of me right now than I have been for years.

	MAINTAIN: El Da Sensei and Art Alexakis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		At the helm of Everclear, Alexakis made his Portland band a success by combining what he describes as “happy rock melodies and depressing fucking lyrics” into an amalgam that struck a chord with disenchanted youth struggling to make their way through life, just like he once did.
		Born in 1962 to a lower-middle-class family in the projects of Culver City, Calif., Alexakis was the youngest of five children (one brother, three sisters) and struggled early on with being the only white kid in a minority neighborhood.
		Alexakis found solace in music, and after the inception of Everclear and the release of 1995’s Sparkle and Fade, and the impressive follow up, 1997’s So Much For The Afterglow, his place, Everclear’s place, in the modern rock market was cemented.
