This sounds like kind of a mix between Rolling Stones and The Yardbirds. I love it!

2024 - I played Chocolate Watchband on my radio show toward the end of last year, here in Hobart, Tasmania. This song. Garage punk at its finest.

A pure slice of unadulterated garage rock angst,attitude and a swagger that sneers and makes no apologies! Drink a fifth of Jack Daniels and crank this coolest of all gems.....LOUD!!!! The Chocolate Watchband at their greatest.....One for the ages!

GREATEST GARAGE PUNK SONG EVER!! Anybody who doesn't know what Garage Punk is only has to listen to this song (very loudly) to understand the essence of it. David Aguilar managed the astounding feat of sounding more Jagger than Jagger himself. He's got the Jagger drawl/sneer down to a fine art!

Sounds like Iggy took some notes.

I just learned of this band today despite growing up in the '60s and '70s. I went to pull up a YT video to share with friends and hit on this one. The lead vocalist definitely sounds like he is trying to channel Jagger, but based on the few songs I have heard, they deserved to be better-known on their own merits. My understanding is that they had a strong SF Bay area following, but not much elsewhere.

They were popular in LA. My mom knew them. She spent a lot of time at Pandora's Box, The Sea Witch, and The London Fog, and she was even arrested at the "riot" that night.

These guys were the roots of punk but also heavy metal, right up there with the 13th floor elevators.

What did I just watch? Fukn brilliant!

I was listening to Escalator by BJM. Chocolate Watchband came up in a comment. I may be here 6 yrs. later but this is 2020 playlist worthy. Better late than never. Be safe, all!

0:15 "Oh... birdie...fly away". And the girl complies, immediately, not a word. Just the way real men liked iti in 1966 :-D. 😊

CWB is one of those 60s bands that seemed very conscious of their 'garage rock' sound (even tho they wouldnt call it that yet). They weren't just some sloppy attempt to imitate the Stones pop music. CBW's sound was harder and darker than that. Their rough and raw style was the feature not a bug.

Those american groups took rock even further than the british. American garagers that were inspired by british beats that were inspired by american blues and rnb rock and roll and soul. And jazz, psychedelia, neoclassical and world ethnic music came in to form the greatest amalgama ever: the music of the sixties.

Sounds like the Stooges or the Stooges 1969 sound like the ⌚Watch 1967.

So many of these mid- 60s bands sounded Stones-ish because record companies were desperately looking for an "American version of The Rolling Stones"... this is how bands like The Mothers of Invention, and Capt. Beefheart, and Canned Heat were signed... luckily those bands developed their own unique styles!
