Everclear announce gig at Guantanamo Bay

Everclear have announced that they will perform at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba over Memorial Day weekend.

The Portland rockers will play a show at the US Naval Base in Guantanamo for soldiers stationed there.

They have also announced that they will perform over 4th of July weekend at the Marine Corps base at Kaneohe Bay, Oahu.

“These two (shows) are important to the band,” said frontman Art Alexakis.

“There are folks in uniform all over the world, and at home, looking out for us -- and to play for them is an honour. Not a bad way to spend the holiday weekends.”

Everclear are currently touring the US.
