The Urban Chiefs are a Psyche–Blues–Stoner–Rock two-piece from Tamworth, NSW, who’ve been tearing up stages since 2009. Blake Saban (guitars & vox) runs an arsenal of custom guitars through multiple amps and a bass rig, building a sound so massive it shakes the floor. His gravel-soaked vocals cut through the chaos while Glendon Finlay’s tribal, hard-hitting drumcussion drives it all like a freight train.There are no samples, no tricks just two guys making one hell of a noise. Crowds often can’t believe it’s all live, but that’s the raw, unfiltered power of the Chiefs.
