Danielj 1 Report post Posted October 23, 2004 Anybody know of them? They were at a free concert this summer, I didnt know who they were at the time. Ive mentioned a coupletimes that they were the only band to open for Pink Floyd on their North American tour. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tenacious_Peaches 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2004 I thought the name sounded familiar so I looked them up. They had a song that I think is the #1 earworm of all time..."My Girl". Gone, gone, gone, she been gone so long, she been gone, gone, gone so long. I'll be singing that all flapping day. I was under the impression that they were an 80s one hit wonder...it seems odd that they opened for PF... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danielj 1 Report post Posted October 25, 2004 Well unless my...contact... has a problem, I'm pretty sure they did. No, that is probably their worst song. Agreed, My Girl sucks. :happybanana: :happybanana: :happybanana: :happybanana: :happybanana: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skook 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2004 I have one of their albums, Dreams Dreams or something like that. I haven't played it in years, but there are a couple of great songs on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin 3 Report post Posted December 30, 2004 They were pretty big ( on the fair/exibition circuit) in the late '70's/ early '80s, mainly for the hit Peaches mentioned . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenjock 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2004 Chilliwack are a long established band from Vancouver Canada....since the mid nineteen sixties..formerly known as the Collectors. Basically a festival and special event band these days..havent really had a hit since "California Girl" in the mid seventies, but lots of North of the Border action over the last thirty years. Bill Henderson was leader for many years..and they are still active up here, just no current airplay product for a while. :: Rock On! Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Earth-Angel 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2004 I finally found a copy of this band's "My girl" song and heck if it isn't catchy! Earworm? Perhaps, but very "sing-a-long-able"! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
