Spring Heeled Jack reunites for Dave Karcich Tribute Show
"The December 29th Tribute Show In Memory of Dave Karcich, at Toad's Place in New Haven, CT, has addded another to the list. The mighty Spring Heeled Jack, will play a short set, to close out the night. This was the original plan, before the idea was scrapped by Dave's 6 remaining bandmates, who felt it was too soon to play a show without him. There has now been a change of heart and the band will play their first show together since their final show in May of 2000. Dave was a former member of Spring Heeled Jack & Pilfers before joining up with Avoid One Thing. Sadly, a week before AOT's debut CD release, Dave suffered a brain aneursym and passed away on April 5th. The confirmed lineup will now consist of Beer Scouts of America, Big Mistake, Cenzo, Avoid One Thing, Lost City Angels & Spring Heeled Jack. Tickets are still on sale and are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. There will also be special merch made for the show along with a raffle featuring items donated by The Bosstones, Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, 2 Skinnee J's & All Boro Kings and others. All proceeds from the show, merch & raffle, go to the Dave Karcich Scholarship fund. For more details and updates, visit here."
