 | The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for music. |
Chiefs of Relief were a British rock group formed shortly after the demise of Bow Wow Wow in 1984. Led by guitarist-vocalist Matthew Ashman (who for a brief time tried to continue Bow Wow Wow as their lead singer after the departure of Annabella Lwin for a solo career), drummer Paul Cook (of the Sex Pistols), keyboard player Duncan Grieg, and bassist Lance Burman. An early lineup included Ashman and Cook with former Bow Wow Wow members David Barbarossa and Leigh Gorman.Often compared to Big Audio Dynamite (who they would later open for on tour), The Chiefs fused rock with hip hop & electronic elements from the era.
The group's only full-length album was 1988's self-titled release, which was issued in the US by Sire Records.
