Less than a year after Great White disbanded, Jack Russell reunited with Mark Kendall in November 2002 under the moniker "Jack Russell's Great White", with a lineup including second guitarist Ty Longley, bassist David Filice, drummer Eric Powers and keyboardist Yuko Tamura. The group embarked on a tour, which was cut short on February 20, 2003 when a pyrotechnics accident at the start of their performance caused The Station nightclub fire. Among the 100 people killed in the fire was Longley, who was initially reported missing but reported dead four days later.
