| One such group was the Chocolate Watch Band. Consisting of Sean Tolby,
Mark Loomis, Danny Phay, Gary Andrijasevich and vocalist Dave Aguilar,
the Chocolate Watch Band began in 1965 as a Rolling Stones copy band,
playing at dances and on the local club circuit. Over the course of the
coming year, the band indulged in the many extremities of the San
Francisco rock and roll experience, developing a highly original sound in
the process. The band was signed to Tower in 1966, though their debut
single, Baby Blue/Sweet Young Thing (released in December of that
year) was mysteriously assigned to Towers subsidiary rhythm and blues
label, Uptown. |

| And erratic they were. So erratic, in fact, that they broke up shortly
after completing the recording sessions for their first album, No Way
Out, released on Tower in September, 1967. Ed Cobb picks up the story:
The Chocolate Watch Band had broken up and come together many different
times. I really enjoyed working with them, but they had no rules bound
to themselves. Consequently they would break up. It didnt matter if
they were successful or not. Then I would talk to them, and they would
agree to do something else. |

We recently bought a watch with an aqua colored plastic watch band (Casio)
for my 10-year old daughter. She has never had any type of allergy before, and
has worn bathing caps, goggles with foam gaskets without any irritations.
However, after a few weeks she developed hives in the exact shape of the band.
Needless to say, the watch has been returned, but the rash continues to
get worse. She is taking Benadryl at night orally, after having first tried
a topical cortisone cream. From that we switched to benadryl cream and
the benadryl pill. Now the rash is oozing yellow and looks like a severe
burn. The doctor told us to saok it in Epson Salt which we have just
started doing. There is some minor spread of the rash, but still mostly
centered
around the band area. Is there anything else we can do for this? Our doctor
did not advise any antibiotic cream, and actually said we could continue
using the cortisone but that it was not
essential (seems like at this stage
steriods could cause . |
| Like many of their contemporaries in the San Franciscan rock movement of
the time, the Chocolate Watch Band was given to experimentation. What
set them apart from most of those other bands was their respect for the
pioneering artists of rock and roll. Though their recorded repertoir
consisted largely of original songs, the band never hesitated to utilize
worthwhile material from extraneous sources. Fiathful covers of such
classics as Hank Ballards Lets Go, Lets Go, Lets Go, the Kinks
Im Not Like Everybody Else, Ray Charles I Dont Need No Doctor,
Chuck Berrys Come On, Wilson Picketts In the Midnight Hour and Bob
Dylans Baby Blue all made their way onto vinyl, fitting in comfortably
alongside such unlikely group compositions as Devils Motorcycle,
Fireface and Uncle Morris. |
