Urban Chiefs @ Welder’s Dog Brewery

Two awesome acts for one low price. Get on this and support live music in Regional NSW!

The Urban Chiefs are a Psyche–Blues–Rock two-piece from Tamworth, NSW, who have been tearing up stages since 2009. Blake Saban (guitars and 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. The Urban Chiefs has carved a reputation as one of Australia’s most explosive live acts.
