Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Though it sounds like the mascot of Major League‘s woeful Cleveland Indians, the moniker Chief Beef is entirely appropriate for a band that yields juicy slabs of power-trio rock. The Phoenix, Arizona, band’s 2007 Gravy Tour comes on the heels of its independently released debut, Something About Rock. Step into Chief Beef’s meat locker for a rump roast’s worth of brainy prog sludge informed by bands such as Burning Airlines, Jesus Lizard, No Knife and the Mars Volta. The bass grooves are succulent, the drums employ a plump thump and the guitar lines are butcher-shop fresh.
