MATT DRICOLL: THE JET CITY FIX WILL NEVER DIE

If I were to compile a list of things liable to end a band, it would probably look a lot like the Jet City Fix’s life over the last five years. Official breakups? Check. Marriages and maturation? Check. Armed Services enlistment and a trip to boot camp for the lead singer? Amazingly enough, check.

Yes, the Jet City journey, which started way back in 2002, has been a wild one â€" but throughout it all a couple things have remained comfortably steadfast.

Number one: Despite the fact the band has had its fair share of drama in the past, Justin and Ty McDonald, Shane Flauding and Dana Sims are all still rock ‘n’ roll possessed friends â€" and they always will be.

Number two: Fans of rock eat this shit up.

So, it should come as no surprise to see the Jet City Fix name back on show flyers around town. Tonight, the band will play a Funky Monkey, 104.9 FM sponsored show at Hell’s Kitchen with Point Defiance, Weight of the World and Vista Switch.
