Due to the cancellation of its Oklahoma City gig next week, Everclear has swapped nights at the Fine Line and will now play at the Minneapolis club on Monday night instead of Thursday. It's a pretty unusual move for a band, and it really doesn't make much sense when you look at its tour itinerary (it's still playing the Surf Ballroom two hours away in Clear Lake, Iowa, next Friday). But whatever, it wasn't the band's fault. The Okie club was the one to cancel the show there, purportedly due to a scheduling conflict. All tickets to the Thursday show will still be honored at the Fine Line on Monday, and anybody who can't make the new night can ask for a refund.

Everclear has been soliciting votes for local opening bands at each stop of it's tour. The winner in Minneapolis was July Fighter.
