forever thankful for the person who randomly threw a cheifs sticker in my order for putting me on to this band when i was in high school. they're something else and this album has been so good to me
Definitely a Staple in the scene when I first was going to shows in LA-OC back in 80’-81’… lot of the greats just vanished after 81’-82’… so happy I was going to shows right before the scene went south because of news stories and tv shows having a “Punk episode” like CHiPs etc. totally brought out the dorks that just wanted to fight and break windows, shutting down our best Clubs.
It sucks I fucked up and missed their in LA shows and the last show with the dead boys in Atlanta before he died. sometimesI wonder if the crowd for the show knew who the the chiefs
@@desmond5771the club made him clear his merch for the dead boys .. ended up meeting him in the parking lot afterwards- he was so nice, signed out stuff and told us stories from back in the day. Even invited us to his house party but we never got to make it out. Then he passed away. Such a solid dude, rip
Generally, a lot of my favorite music that's stuck with me over the years is stuff that took while to grow on me... this LP is very much an exception... 10 seconds into "Hollywest Crisis" and I knew this band was the real deal. By the end of "Karen Walach" I had to double check to make sure that I was, in fact, listening to an archival release - I couldn't believe songs **this** good could have sat in a vault for a decade before someone decided to put 'em out. Somehow it went down like that, but what matters is that they're cut into wax now. The B-side is great too, but I'd be hard pressed to name ya a six-song mission statement as lean, mean and direct as what the Chiefs laid down in that shitty Mystic studio in 1982. One of a string of truly unimpeachable recordings to flow from the SoCal underground scene of the early '80s - along with Middle Class' Homeland LP, the second Alleycats record, the Crowd's A World Apart... the list goes on.
Does anyone know what happened to George? He was totally the coolest guy......when some of the older Hollywood Masque peeps would give off the cooler-that-thou vibe George was nice same with Brendan of the Masque n Rick Wilder.......anywas rambling
I've been doing a lot of Googling trying to dig up an interview or something, but zilch. I'd love to hear his story. The Cheifs get glossed over in pretty much every LA punk history book I've ever read, though it seems that anyone who was actually there gives them a lot of respect. Cool that you got to be part of things. I was a little kid living in Koreatown during that time.
Cool....Bob Glassley later moved to Atlanta area as did I and some musicians that were into the Cheifs found out Glassley was the original bass player and they started up the Cheifs again they played around for awhile, drag I didn't get to see them, even going out to L A and had a great welcome but they couldn't find George....Glassley died about a year later.....there is a great free entertainmant mag out in Atlanta called Creative Loafing they did a great article on the Cheifs.....you can proly find it....when I get time I'll find it and send it to you....Cheers Brother!@@badbaby99
