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.
