Alice 'N' Chains Alice in Chains Variant Cause Ruff Toiz

We were always interested in widening out and finding an audience anywhere we could, and our guitar edge meant that we went over with a metal-leaning crowd. Brent worked at Tower Records on University Avenue and he promoted hard rock shows on the side. He put us on co-billing with Alice in Chains and Ruff Toiz.

Alice had changed their name from Sleeze -- they were kind of a big hair glam band from the suburbs. At this time we played with them -- 1987 -- they were still bringing their sound together. When I saw them again a few years later at a showcase at the Central, they had really honed their sound and I was very impressed.
