Artist History Chief formed in february of 1996, when a group of friends performed in a talent show and won. This led to a series of gigs, and the idea to start a full fledged band came to happen. During their high school days, the band played a handful of school functions, as well as numerous house parties. Their reputation as a good party band began to spread. Immediately following high school, the band launched a regional tour with drummer Tony Tsoodle, which included such towns as Tribbey, Hinton, Binger, and the famous show at Jack's Diner in Madill. Chief's latest performance was at the Belle Isle Brewery in Oklahoma City, when they made an impromptu performance on Blues Night.
