The Chieftones

Band, GB, Canada
Rock

AKA Billy Thunderkloud (Vincent Clifford) & The Chieftones. Originally from British Columbia, Canada, then the tiny town of Boaz, Wisconsin, then Nashville and eventually booking out of Boston, the band's recordings dated from 1966-75. According to Gary Myers' excellent '60s Wisconsin discography "Do You Hear That Beat," all four members of this band were members of the Tsimshian Indian Nation of Northwest British Columbia, Canada. Two of the members discovered in an Edmonton Indian school that they were long-separated brothers; they formed the Chieftones and moved to southwest Wisconsin in the 1960s. The Chieftones had five entries on the country charts in 1975-76.
