(e.g., MC5, Stooges) with a sly sense of humor and an obvious love for Motor City Funk, blues and R&B. The band started out recording for small labels such as Get Hip before moving to Sub Pop and finally to Capitol. Their sound grew constantly, from a stripped-down, savage guitar attack to multilayered Hard Rock and Funk complete with horns and backup singers. The band, just a few short years ahead of the Funk Metal explosion, broke up after finding little mainstream success with their major label offering. - Tom HeymanFunk Rocken720Fri, 11 Dec 2009 10:52:03 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4256&rws=%2Fbig-chief%2Fmusic-videos.rss The late, lamented Big Chief melded the proto-Punk/Metal sound synonymous with Ann Arbor, Mich.
