Alice N' Chains (originally Sleze) was an American glam metal band from Shoreline, Washington, formed in 1984, who became known for being the first band Layne Staley sang for. Sleze went through several lineup changes before changing their name in 1986, and recording demos, with the lineup of Staley, guitarists Johnny Bacolas and Nick Pollock, bassist Mike Mitchell, and drummer James Bergstrom. The band broke up in 1987; a few months later, Staley formed the successful grunge band Alice in Chains.
