CHOCOLATE WATCH BAND
As THE HOGS
The Chocolate Watch Band formed in the summer of 1965 and were discovered late the following year by Ed Cobb. Heavily influenced by British R & B outfits like The Stones and The Yardbirds, the band gigged regularly around the Bay Area supporting bands like The Doors, Big Brother and The Holding Co. and The Mothers of Invention.
They were signed to Tower and recorded a debut single in 1966. Tower issued the single on its black R & B subsidiary label, Uptown, which did not, as a white group on this label, attract the airplay it deserved.
The Chocolate Watch Band returned to the studio to record a cover version of “Blue’s Theme,” originally performed by Dave Allen and the Arrows, on the soundtrack to The Wild Angels. However, Tower was not convinced of its commerciality, and Cobb leased the finished master to Hanna Barbers records.
It was released, under the pseudonym, The Hogs, as HBR 511. On the flipside you’ll hear “Loose Lip Sync Ship,” which tumbles into a strange psychedelic piece of dementia, on the flip side. This has got to be one of the strangest records ever on Hanna Barbera Records.
