LOW-B rediscovers its spark for Shank reunion gig
LOW-B, fronted by John Bitenc, with his brother Dan on bass, Jeff Benske on guitar and Matt Liban on drums possessed enough skill and enough spark that when it fired up its alt.country engine, it could knock you on your keister if you weren't careful. The band reunites for a Friday, Sept. 4 gig with The Carolinas at Shank Hall.

For those of you that want to rock...salute the Chief!
A hard-rockin', three-piece rock and roll outfit, Chief got together about three years ago when guitarist Chris Tishler and drummer Matt Liban -- who have been in numerous local bands over the years -- joined bassist Dave Benton and sort of unwittingly became a band. Chief celebrates a new EP with a CD release gig Friday, Jan. 23 at Frank's Power Plant in Bay View.
