Alexakis continues his National MS Awareness Month tradition of kicking off the third annual 24-hour online 'Dystopia Tonight Stream to End MS' on Wednesday at 6 p.m.
Pasadena’s Art Alexakis, singer-songwriter and guitarist of Los Angeles alt-rock band Everclear, finds himself this month somewhere between dealing with the aftermath of a March windstorm decimating his wife’s BMW and rehearsing his rendition of “Diamond Dogs” for a benefit tribute to David Bowie. There’s also plenty of self-care and a fair share of looking back.
Since being diagnosed, I made a video for the song “Hot Water Test” with people singing my lyrics along with me that were diagnosed with MS, ranging from being really young and different ethnic backgrounds. It came out really cool for a $5,000 video, and that got a lot of traction as well. When I play shows, every dollar from every show goes to the Multiple Sclerosis Society or Sweet Relief, because they do great work as well.
