Chief, Ratface & more tonight

Music Hall of Williamsburg: My favorite of the bands playing tonight is probably New York’s Chief. Though it’s increasingly difficult to be excited about a band with a traditional setup and twinkly guitars, Chief has kind of a soothing influence and the voice is a definite strength. Recently returned from a short tour in UK, which included the 02 Wireless Festival in London, and a co-headlining gig at the Troubadour in LA with Dawes, the band’s preparing to record a full-length debut. About tonight, says Mike Moonves, “We’re really excited to be back in New York playing this gig. Music Hall of Williamsburg is my favorite venue in the city, so to finally play there is a blessing.” Joining them are The Pigeon Detectives, who I saw chilling on the sidewalk this morning, and The Black Hollies.
