The current issue of Shindig! features The Chocolate Watchband as the cover stars and includes a 12- page feature of this San Jose based quintet who combined rough elements of R&B with harder edged British bands such as The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and The Yardbirds.
Other interesting main features in this issue are focused on The Wheels from Belfast and The Toby Twirl (who supported the Small Faces on occasion).
Reviews in issue 27 include a look at 'King New Breed R&B Volume 2', Nine Below Zero's 30th Anniversary re-issue of 'Third Degree', Fay Hallam's new album, 'Lost In Sound', the Acid Jazz EP 'Lookin' Good With...' by Jimmy James & The Vagabonds and in the book review section, Manu's updated, 'This Is Modern Life: The 1980s London Mod Scene (Mod Chronicles Vol. 1).
Another great issue available directly on line or in W H Smith.
