Canada’s legendary Chilliwack released 12 albums over a 15-year

including “Lonesome Mary” in 1970; “Fly At Night”, “Arms Of
Mary”, and “California Girl” in the mid 70’s; “Communication
Breakdown” in 1979; and “My Girl (gone gone gone)”, “I Believe”,
“Whatcha Gonna Do” and “Don’t Stop” between 1981 and 1984.
Chilliwack’s reputation for consistently powerful shows is still
winning over young classic rockers and delighting long-time
fans. And, hearing their latest song, “Patent On The Wind” – a
powerful rock indictment of the ownership of life forms – you
realize that Chilliwack is about more than nostalgia.
