Topic: Chilliwack (band)


  
  CanConRox - Chilliwack
Despite this, the record re-affirmed Chilliwack as undeniably one of the country's top draws, while Henderson was firmly establishing himself as one of rock's most sought-after engineer/producers.
Chilliwack's name wasn't heard for nearly a decade, as Henderson was dabbling in an outside project of his own, UHF, with Shari Ulrich and Roy Forbes.
Bill Henderson is the guiding light of Chilliwack, and one of our most treasured musical talents, contributing in the studios to such artists as Junior Gone Wild, Toronto, Long John Baldry, The Nylons and The Irish Rovers, among others.

 Chilliwack Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The band has a hot new album, a renewed optimism after the success-of last year's LP, and, for the first time in almost three years, Chilliwack is on the cross Canada concert trail again.
The problem was, the band couldn't tour until bandleader Bill Henderson had untangled the group from legal problems stemming from a record contract with its former record label, Mushroom Records (not to be confused with Mushroom Studios, a Vancouver recording studio).
Chilliwack, however, has never fired its coach - Henderson is the only original member of the group since its formation in 1970.

 Chilliwack
Chilliwack effectively began with the departure of Vickers from the Collectors in 1969, although the new name was not adopted until 1970.
Chilliwack's 18-year history, which saw the band move in a more commercial direction, was marked by periods of inactivity and many changes in personnel.
Henderson (b Vancouver 6 Nov 1944) was the only constant member; he wrote or co-wrote most of the band's songs, and his boyish voice, easy falsetto and tasteful guitar playing were Chilliwack trademarks.

 19/05/97 -- Arts: Music waste
Perhaps the greatest leitmotif in Lovecraft's work is his concept of humankind as one totally insignificant part of a huge cosmos too amazing and horrible for the feeble human brain to even begin to grasp without going irrevocably insane.
With these things in mind, I was attracted to a Music Waste performance by the Darkest Of the Hillside Thickets, a Chilliwack band which draw from Lovecraft's world and integrate it with their own world.
Unfortunately, one of the drawbacks of Music Waste presenting a lot of bands at once was that all of them had very little time on stage, enough to play just four or five songs each.
