Description
The Chocolate Watchband is an American garage rock band formed in 1965 in San Jose, California. The band went through several lineup changes during its existence, and developed a sound heavily influenced by the Small Faces and the Rolling Stones. Combining psychedelic and garage rock components, their sound was marked by David Aguilar's lead vocals, and the experimental intensity of an early proto-punk band. The band's rebellious musical posture made them one of the harder-edged groups of the period.
The Chocolate Watchband was signed to Tower Records in 1966 and released their first single, "Sweet Young Thing", in 1967. Later in the year, the band released their debut album, No Way Out. Though the album was nationally unsuccessful, the band became a frequent attraction in San Jose and the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1968, their second album, The Inner Mystique, was released and included the band's most popular song, a cover version of "I'm Not Like Everybody Else". By 1969, the band released their final album, One Step Beyond, however it was not as highly regarded as their past work, and the band broke up in 1970. - Wikipedia
