Attention all Seattleites, King County and Puget Sound residents! A previously scheduled Jar of Flies rock music show at Neumos in Seattle, Washington, is now a combined music show and tribute to Michael Christopher Starr, formerly of Alice in Chains. Starr recently passed away at his home in Utah, on March 8, 2011.
The Jar of Flies event (the Ultimate Alice in Chains Experience) takes place on St. Patrick's Day, Thursday, March 17, 2011. This is a 21-and-over event, and doors open at 8 p.m. The venue Neumos is located at 925 East Pike Street, Seattle, Washington 98122.
Jar of Flies is made up of the phenomenal musical talents of Rane Stone, Jonny Smokes, JT Phillips, Shannon Sharpe and Daryl Williams. This is the Pacific Northwest's ONLY Alice in Chains tribute band. This show was previously scheduled for some time, but in the event of former Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr's sudden passing, the band decided to make this a tribute show to honor Starr as well as his previously fallen band mate, Layne Staley.
Jar of Flies prides themselves on bringing new life to old-school Alice in Chains music. Many tribute bands try to look the part and act the part, instead of focusing more on authenticating the music and vocals. Jar of Flies IS the Ultimate Alice in Chains tribute and it's painstakingly evident in their perfection of sound and band unity.
For this Jar of Flies event, advance tickets are $10 through Reverb Nation or ETIX. Ticket prices at the door are $12. Come out on March 17th and celebrate St. Patrick's Day, the life of Mike Starr and have a great time with Jar of Flies. Performing before Jar of Flies, will be another tribute band, Bullet in Your Head (Rage Against the Machine). It will be an experience you won't want to miss, and one you will not soon forget.
You can check out Jar of Flies videos and upcoming event information at their Reverb Nation or MySpace music pages.
