About The Chocolate Watchband

There were two bands with similar names but different spellings. 1. The Chocolate Watchband from the USA 2. The Chocolate Watch Band from the UK If you are playing the American band, please suggest a spell correction to last.fm. Not only would it fix the spelling, it would help differentiate between two bands. Never coming close to a hit single, San Jose's Chocolate Watchband nonetheless waxed some of the greatest fusions of The Rolling Stones' sneering R'n'B and garage-pop-psychedelia on their Ed Cobb-produced 1966-67 sides, particularly SWEET YOUNG THING, Are You Gonna Be There (At The Love-In), I AIN'T NO MIRACLE WORKER and MISTY LANE. An appearance in the exploitation flick Riot On Sunset Strip guaranteed some notoriety, but the band eventually dissolved after Jaggeresque lead singer Dave Aguilar left in late 1967.A cult classic the band remains a diamond from the 60s garage scene.
