"Alice in Chains" announce new dates, playing Raleigh

It would seem that Alice In Chains really isn't Alice In Chains without founding member and frontman Layne Staley who died in 2002, but don't tell that to the remaining members. The band reformed in 2006 with a new singer, William DuVall of Comes With the Fall, and he's been with the band ever since.

Now that the history lesson is done, the band are currently out on a tour supporting their new album Black Gives Way To Blue, released in September. The first leg of the tour is sold out, including tonight's show in Charlotte [the Charlotte show was postedponed until April 20 due to band illness], but new dates have been added, including a stop at Memorial Auditorium in downtown Raleigh on Wednesday, April 21. Tickets for the show go on sale this Friday, March 5 at 9 a.m. here for $45.

DuVall pulls of Staley's vocals fairly well. Check out a video of the band performing "Rooster" at the Tabernacle in Atlanta on Feb. 25 below the tour dates to see and hear for yourself.
