Ann Arbor, Michigan

DATE FORMED:
1989
HOW FORMED:
Henssler’s hardcore band the Necros and Mike Danner’s band the Laughing Hyenas got the attention of Bruce Pavitt. Pavitt heard that Henssler and Danner were playing together and gave them a budget to do a single.
HIGHLIGHT:
Big Chief puts out Motorbooty, the delightfully satiric magazine of music, culture, and possibly actionable lies. Their merchandising company, Fresh Vines, produces a clothing line. They write and produce for other acts, including Motor City R&B diva Thornetta Davis. Guitarist Mark Dancey does the graphic art that distinguishes Big Chief projects. His work also graces the cover of Soundgarden’s “Badmotorfinger.”
