Alice in Chains Announce Spring 2013 Tour Dates

Alice in Chains posted a handful of 2013 US tour dates on their Facebook page this morning.
You can check out the complete date and venue info below.
Fan pre-sale for most tour dates begins tomorrow, January 15. Tickets for all headline tour dates go on sale to the general public on January 18.
Just last week, the grunge icons posted the official music video for their new song, "Hollow," which you can see below.
The song debuted online last month along with a lyric video made up of images contributed by fans. The track is the first from the band's upcoming, as-yet-untitled new album, which is expected this spring.
"It’s like having to deal with the sophomore jinx for the second time in our career,” said guitarist Jerry Cantrell of the pressure to follow 2009's Black Gives Way to Blue. "In my opinion, that record stood up to anything else we’ve put out in our career. And this new one is right up there as well."
For a look back at the band's 2009 comeback album, Black Gives Way to Blue, check out our 2009 interview with Jerry Cantrell here.

Waifs of the Week

Shadow is a sweetheart!
6 years / 8 months
Brussels Griffon / Mix
Hi there! I'm Shadow, a spunky 6 year-old Brussels Griffon mix looking for my forever home. While small in stature (16 pounds), I have a big personality. I'm a confident, fun-loving, like-to-be-in-charge type of dog. And don't let my mature age fool you. I'm an active, playful, full-of-life little guy.

I love going on walks, fetching balls and playing tug of war with my favorite toys. I'm housebroken and walk well on a leash. I came to Wayside as a stray, and wasn't in the best of shape when I arrived. But the good folks here have worked their magic and I'm ready to find a home to call my own.

I'm a pretty social little guy; I love people and warm up to them quickly. However, I'm more picky when it comes to other dogs. Being the confident little guy that I am, I can sometimes be bossy around my canine peers. It would be best if I meet all members of my adoptive family - canines as well as humans - to make sure we all get along.

Also, I'm not what you'd call a high maintenance dog, but Brussels Griffons do require regular grooming, so hopefully that won't be a problem for my new owners. So if you think we might be a good match, please come by and meet me. I have a lot of life and lot of love in me and hope to find my new home soon!
Love and doggie kisses, Shadow

 Tess is looking for her purr-fect match!
6 years 
Domestic Short Hair / Mix
Are you looking for a sweet, loving, experienced companion cat? Then look no further! I'm Tessy!

I was adopted from Wayside Waifs several years ago by a very nice family. They say I am a great pet. Sadly, they have recently had a change in their family circumstances and can no longer take care of me. So, here I am looking for a new forever home.

I should tell you that I form very strong bonds with my human family. I'm the kind of cat who needs strong connections and time with my humans to be happy and healthy. I'm a little shy of strangers and will probably run and hide when the doorbell rings, but when it's just me and the family who loves me, I'm a real lover.

In fact, I love just about everybody. I got along really well with the dog in my former home and also with the older children there. I am shy of younger children though. They are just too noisy and unpredictable to suit me.

I'm a very affectionate cat, and enjoy crawling into your lap in the evenings to watch a movie or listen to music. I love to look out the windows and enjoy the sunshine, so I hope you'll have a comfy window perch for me.

Most of all though, what I really hope you'll have is never-ending love for me. Won't you please come down to Wayside and meet me today? I just can't wait to find my new forever family and get back to doing what I do best---loving you!

Love, Sweet Tessy

Meet Cindy!
2 years / 7 months
Shepherd / Mix
Hi everyone! It's Cindy here, and I'm very excited to meet you and to tell you all about myself! I'm a sweet shepherd/mix with tan and white fur who weighs right about 50 pounds. I previously had a home to call my own, but recently I was found as a stray and I was brought here to Wayside Waifs.

First of all, I must say that some of the volunteers here at Wayside have told me what I sweet girl I am. Besides that, I have a list of commands that I know, so that will tell you what a smart girl I am as well. With just a treat for persuasion, I know the commands of sit, down, shake, and come! When I get to my new home, it will be important that I continue my obedience training so I will continue learning to be the best girl that I can be.

Also, since I'm quite energetic, it will be important that I get some exercise every day. This would be perfect for spending time with you while we go outside for a walk or a jog. Afterwards, it would be perfect with me to curl up beside you while we relax together or watch TV! So what do you say?

Have you been wishing for a sweet girl like me to make your family complete? If you have, why don't you come on over to Wayside so we can meet? When you come, be sure to bring the whole family with you, including any canine kids, to see if we'll all get along. When you get here, be sure to ask for Cindy and I'll be anxiously waiting to meet you!

Love and happy tails, Cindy
