Talking Hendrix News For the Week of March 29, 2019

Talking Hendrix News For the Week of March 29, 2019 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What's coming up this week..... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Guest this week is guitarist Tim Abbott for the Psychedelic Garage Rock band The Chocolate Watch Band: The Chocolate Watchband is an American garage rock band that formed in 1965 in Los Altos, California. The band went through several lineup changes during its existence. Combining psychedelic and garage rock components, their sound was marked by David Aguilar's lead vocals, as well as proto-punk musical arrangements. 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. After their dissolution in 1970, a revival of interest in psychedelic and garage rock in the late 1980s and 1990s brought the group to public attention, and their original vinyl releases became collectors' items, selling among private sellers for over USD$100. Rhino Records issued a best-of release of the band in 1983, while Sundazed and other labels re-issued the original albums on compact discs, including bonus tracks. After leaving the band, its members each embarked on other non-musical pursuits; Aguilar had worked as an astronomy professor after the band's dissolution. Continued interest prompted the band to reunite in 1999, with Dave Aguilar, Tim Abbott (replacing Mark Loomis, who backed out of the reunion), Bill Flores, and Gary Andrijasevich; Michael Reese was added as drummer in place of Sean Tolby. The group began to touring internationally in 2000, culminating in a show at New York's Cavestomp and a live album, At the Love-In Live! in 2001. They also issued a studio album,Get Away, in between the Cavestomp show and the live album. The group has since performed in Europe and the United States.I n 2005, Melts in Your Brain . . . Not on Your Wrist, a two-CD compilation of the Chocolate Watchband's complete Tower and Uptown recordings, was released. In June 2013, the Chocolate Watchband made it back to a recording studio in their hometown San Jose, to begin a new album. From 2015 to the present (2018), the band's lineup is Tim Abbott on lead guitar and vocals; Gary Andrijasevich on drums; David Aguilar on vocals, keyboards, and harmonica; Alec Palao on bass and backing vocals; and Derek See on guitar and vocals. The resulting album (This Is My Voice) was released in 2019 to critical acclaim; the lead off single 'Secret Rendezvous' was fetured as 'Coolest Song In The World' on Little Steven's Underground Garage program in February 2019. The first song recorded was a tribute to Sky Saxon who had recently died. Former member Mark Loomis died on September 26, 2014, in Hawaii.

Headed by 23 year old Country artist, Dani-elle Kleha, the tour engages schools, youth camps and entities centering around young adults in Pennsylvania’s Lackawanna and Susquehanna counties. Kleha shares her music along with messages of empowerment and anti-bullying, including her own personal stories of being bullied and how she got though her struggle, following her dreams, and the importance of making responsible decisions in life. Kleha released a single titled “Get Back Up” in April 2018 which inspired the "Positive Youth Tour." For information on booking the Positive Youth Tour or interest in getting involved as a sponsor click here. “Dani-Elle's "Positive Youth Tour" was extremely well received by the Mid Valley junior high students. In a time where bullying is so prevalent and there is so much negativity in our world, it was important for the students to hear Dani-elle's struggle with bullying and how she was able to cope with it,” said Jefferey Kovaleski, High School Principal. “Dani-elle then offered our students good sound advice about coping, following their dreams, and staying positive throughout life! The students danced and sang and really enjoyed the concert at the end! This was one of the best assemblies I have had in our school!” “The tour is very inspiring and it definitely gets you thinking that as long as you set your mind to a certain goal you can achieve it, even with Debbie downers,” said student Scott Bidwell. “Students were talking after the assembly and they were happy to see we have outside input that care for the well-being of students.” Dani-elle recently released her well received EP, “Runnin’ On Dreams,” which is available on all music platforms for streaming, digital download and is available to order from her website.

The New York Times raves, “Walker is a singer with a Cadillac of a voice. He delivers no-nonsense, gutsy blues. His guitar solos are fast, wiry and incisive, moaning with bluesy despair.” Rolling Stone simply calls him “ferocious, ”And Billboard writes:  “His playing blows all over the map…gutbucket blues, joyous gospel, Rolling Stones-style rock crunch, and aching R&B. Walker’s guitar playing is fine and fierce."
Joe won the 2016 Blues Foundation Contemporary Blues Male Artist of the Year award at the Blues Foundation Awards ceremony in Memphis.  The Blues Music Awards are universally recognized as the highest accolade afforded blues music performers. The annual Blues Music Awards ceremony is the premier event for blues professionals, musicians, and fans from all over the world.
