Everclear gearing up for tour

(Launch) - Everclear will start rehearsals for a few days to tune up for its forthcoming headline tour, which starts Friday in Phoenix. A portion of the itinerary is the remainder of the Honda Civic tour, which Blink 182 headlined last month. The band has made a personnel change, as sideman James Beaton has decided to pursue his own music and not embark on this tour.
