Thanks for posting this 5 star song:
Misty Lane – The Chocolate Watchband [San Jose, California] – 1967 – “The DREAMY, almost ecstatic descriptions of summery love in the verse is offset by the almost bitter nostalgia of the pounding chorus.” – Melts In Your Brain…Not On Your Wrist! (disc 1)-2005.
This is the only 2 CD compilation you’ll need if you like this band as much as I do, AND don’t have anything by them.
We turned on the Watchband when they were first forming. Everyone but David Aguilar who when he dropped Acid in 68 quit the band and sets up missal sites for NORAD. He is a plastic Starr Bisqet Head with a Heart of Plastic and a Head Full of Dough since we were in West valley collage ask anyone what a phoney he is.
@Rolco64 The lead guitarist for The Easybeats, who were an Australian band, was Harry Vanda. According to Wikapedia, The Chocolate Watchband’s guitarist was Mark Loomis. He did look a bit like Harry in that photo, mainly due to the blond hair.
I love that ’60′s sound! Say, is that guitar player the same guy who played for The Easy Beats? They did a song called “Friday on my mind.” I thought he looked familiar. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the great post!

Same title, different song entirely. Sweet Young Thing was on the Monkees first LP. Michael Nesmith co-wrote it with Brill Building giants Gerry Goffin and Carole King.

No better way to spend an afternoon, couple of joints and CWB songs make it worth living

@EmeraldSapphire2425 thats because you dont know about the binary newsgroups which we have a lot of garage rock and teh whole scene being posted
if i could eat this song i would trip my fucking eyeballs out
Holy god Epic tune !
@bitterchew Yeah, they are the steady type of guys.
@bitterchew
Definitely. They look very stiff.
The Chocolate Watchband!
Together with Fat Matress and the 13th Floor Elevators (which played more garage rock) the best psychedelic band ever.
I checked out this band because they were mentioned in a Damned interview
I grew up a couple of blocks from this band and whenever they practiced there were 150 kids outside. They were a sign of the times.
Could someone tell me how to find the sheet music for these songs from this period1966-1968?
