Are Alice in Chains and Skin Yard both bands that formed in Seattle?
Alice in Chains Alice in Chains is an American rock band formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1987 by guitarist/vocalist Jerry Cantrell and drummer Sean Kinney, who then recruited bassist Mike Starr and lead vocalist Layne Staley. Mike Starr was replaced in 1993 by Mike Inez.
The Crust Brothers The Crust Brothers, a band formed by Stephen Malkmus and members of Silkworm (Michael Dahlquist, Tim Midgett, and Andy Cohen), released one album, "Marquee Mark", a live recording of their December 5, 1997, show at the Crocodile Cafe in Seattle, Washington. The show was a benefit for the Washington Wilderness Coalition. The band stuck exclusively to covers (Malkmus sang lead on Silkworm's "Never met a man I didn't like"), refusing to play any Pavement songs—notably the requested "Summer Babe." Of the 12 covers on "Marquee Mark", seven are from Bob Dylan & The Band's "The Basement Tapes".
