| During all of this chaos, the Chocolate Watch Band also managed to make a
cameo appearance with the Standells in the classic motion picture, Riot
on Sunset Strip. Therein, the band performed Dave Aguilars Dont Need
Your Lovin and the group-penned Sitting There Standing. Though both
pieces were unabashedly borrowed from the material of other artists (Rick
Nelsons Milk Cow Blues and the Yardbirds The Nazz Are Blue,
respectively), the Chocolate Watch Band at that point had established
themselves as one of the most original bands on the scene. Cobb: The
Chocolate Watch Band had a different type of groove. It was sloppy with
intensity. All the beats didnt fall together at the same time, yet the
overall beat fell as one beat. By the time of their third album, they
had developed to the point where they were so strong together, that I
would have been a fool to have my influence be in there and screw up what
they were trying to do. The Chocolate Watch Band was very extreme.. |

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 . |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| In a 1980 interview, producer Ed Cobb recalled the circumstances thusly:
Tower also had Pink Floyd. And they didnt know what to do with Pink
Floyd. Then along came the Chocolate Watch Band, which was further out
than Pink Floyd at that point. Now Tower really didnt know what to do!
They were afraid to put them out. They figured they would release the
bands material on Uptown and see what happens. But the Chocolate Watch
Band was too erratic in concept to be on the Uptown label. |
