🔥 DATE: Saturday, March 22, 2025 🔥 VENUE: Proof – Kinston, NC 🔥 TIME: Show starts at 9 PM 🔥 COVER: $10 at the door

Both bands channel the raw intensity and groove-driven power of legends like Clutch, Alice In Chains, and Corrosion of Conformity, blending crushing riffs, gritty vocals, and unstoppable energy into a night of pure, hard-hitting rock. Expect melodic grunge vibes, southern sludge heaviness, and anthemic hooks that will shake the walls and keep you headbanging all night long.

🤘Jars of Flies🤘 was established in 2014 by Trey Richardson a Layne Staley enthusiast and music producer from Durham, NC. Trey was the founder and lead guitarist of “DethCadence”. The bands presence and sound was that of the early days of Alice In Chains. Every year only got better as the band progressed. Rocking from the east coast, to the grunge home of Seattle and other areas in the West. The band has played with many other top grunge Tributes.

Featured Drummer in the band is Brian Pittman, formerly with “Bind” and currently with “DethCadence”. His playing is like listening to Sean Kenney himself. Years of experience and the stamina to play hard all night! Did we mention he also sings?! Yeah…

Our Bassist in the band has been a many projects on guitar but only two on bass. Currently bassist for “DethCadence” as well, Elio Romero our Peruvian Gold plays the part of Mike Inez who is definitely a must watch. It’s with his identical stage presence and outstanding riffs, no one would be a better Mike.

New to the band is guitarist Bryan Nash, who mimics Jerry Cantrell like no other we’ve had in the band. He has the speed, the chunk, the grease to keep the parts moving in this Ultimate Alice In Chains Experience!

It’s a show you don’t want to miss, it’s like watching the “Real Thing” 😉

Anvil: (Toronto, Canada)

If you were to look up the word "perseverance" in the almighty handbook of heavy metal, there may very well be a photo of Canadian metalists, Anvil. Since their 1981 debut, Hard N' Heavy, the group - which was co-founded by singer/guitarist Steve "Lips" Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner - has been listed by many as one of the creators of the thrash/speed metal genre (especially on such Chris Tsangarides-produced classics as 1982's Metal On Metal and 1983's Forged In Fire). But due to subsequent bad record deals, bad management, and just plain bad luck, Anvil appeared to take a back seat to a new wave of metal bands - most of which listed the group as a prime influence. However, Anvil has never stopped rocking, and with the arrival of the critically-acclaimed/surprise hit film, Anvil! The Story of Anvil (directed by Sacha Gervasi), the group is back where they belong - at the forefront of heavy metal.

DunkTank

Brooklyn's sensational disco-metal group Makes My Blood Dance is an endless experiment in creativity for its founders. Frontman Evan Russell Saffer met his songwriting partner and MMBD's lead guitar/synth player Jon Kristian at a transitional time in life; early in recovery from addiction, the two connected over their mutual passion for metal and bonded over their personal journeys. While Kristian brings a deep technical knowledge and curiosity for the epic sounds of metal, Saffer lights up both stage and studio with his musical-theater-informed performances. Whether they're fusing genres or nonchalantly hawking MMBD-branded panties at their merch table, this team knows no bounds to expression.
