Southside Chiefs

“The band balances their rough and gritty side with consistent injections of melody, keeping their sound refreshingly straight-forward and essential, just like a real rock band should. ” — The Band Camp Diaries, 6/18/13 Conceived over beers at a watering hole and bred in a basement just up the street, Southside Chiefs bring a fresh take on Americana Rock. Consisting of five members, Southside Chiefs create songs about life, love, loss and social conscience that flow with melody, harmony, and straight to the bone guitar licks. Powerful enough to bring the crowd to its feet, yet meaningful enough to make even the most cynical of audience members close their eyes, think about a lost love, crack open another beer and nod in approval. With influences ranging from Neil Young, to Chamberlain, to Drive By Truckers, and The Replacements, Southside Chiefs’ music almost seems to be throwback, which in itself can be appealing, until the meat of the music becomes apparent.
