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", and BrazilFest, "Canada's biggest Brazilian Cultural event"

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". 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"
