Draft:Too Many Chiefs

Summary

Too Many Chiefs are a Brazilian-Canadian cover band specialized in playing songs from pop / rock / soul artists. Formed by "six guys who have decided to have some fun"[1] their repertoire is made up of mostly upbeat Top 40 hits from artists like Daft Punk, Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, Kiss, Queen, among others.

Band members

Will (Vocals) / Henrique (Guitar) / Gustavo (Guitar) / Alex (Keyboard) / Renato (Bass) / Marcos (Drums)

History

The band started rehearsing in January of 2013 with only Marcos, Will and Renato. Back then Renato played the guitar and Will the bass, besides singing. Gustavo joined a few months later, soon followed by Alex. In order to let Will sing with more freedom, Renato assumed the bass guitar and Henrique joined in July of 2013, when the band came to its current formation.

After playing mostly for friends in a few parties, in August of 2013 they began playing in pubs in the Greater Toronto Area, and were soon invited to play at Carassauga 2014, "the largest multicultural festival in Ontario"[2], and BrazilFest, "Canada's biggest Brazilian Cultural event"[3]

Too Many Chiefs: how the name was chosen

After a few rehearsals, the band went on to decide their line of work: repertoire, figurines, etc. However, according to the band members themselves, "the 'bossy' nature of each of us made it almost impossible to come to an agreement".[1] This led them to conclude there were too many people trying to lead the band. The next step was to choose a name, and after browsing several references such as old cartoons and TV shows they came across a 1965 episode of the TV Series "Get Smart" called "Too Many Chiefs", where "a master of disguise pretends to be Maxwell Smart's chief to kill a Kaos defector"[4]
