TAKEN FROM THE BACK COVER OF THE BEST OF THE CHOCOLATE WATCH BAND (A.V.I./Rhino Records RNLP 108). Attributed to: Mike McDowell, Editor/Publisher, Blitz Magazine.
Ive tried six stores and four internet sites and none of them offer a basic black 20mm band (it can be plain, comfortable leather or more exotic). Its not hard to find. Spiedel and others make them, but no one has a 20mm/long in stock and no one wants to order a single watch band.
There must be something unique about a band that can maintain a considerable following nearly 15 years after their demise, and without any hit records to their credit. Such a band is San Franciscos Chocolate Watch Band. Their 1966-1967 singles for the Uptown label exchange hands for anywhere from ten to fifteen dollars on the record collectors market, while their three long-deleted albums on the Tower label command prices as high as $100 in mint condition.
Because of the thickness of the beads, you have to make the length of the band slightly longer than your flat watch band. I had to take mine apart and add two extra beads for comfort.
But as commercial acclaim did elude the band, who splintered for good in 1968 to pursue academic careers (vocalist Aguilar is now a professor of astronomy at a Colorado university). Nonetheless, their influence on the new music movement remains strong. Rochester, New Yorks Chesterfield Kings covered the Chocolate Watch Bands I Aint No Miracle Worker as their debut single in 1981. Los Angeles Unclaimed includes Sweet Young Thing as a regular part of their live repertoire. And traces of the Chocolate Watch Bands distinctive style can be found in the original music of such diverse bands as the Three OClock, Psychedelic Furs and the Dream Syndicate.
