Chandells

Al Gibson (vocals) Don Gowan (guitar) Rick Hiscox (guitar) Gary Stasiuk (bass) Norm Hess (drums) Terry Whitford (guitar; 1980) The Jam Canadian Music website by Jaimie & Sharon Vernon says: Considered one of Calgary's pre-eminant rock bands back in the early '60's, The Chandells performed their first professional gig in 1962 and survived as a fixture on the Alberta club circuit until 1969 at which time the group split up. Hiscox went to Europe and Hess took his bar exam to became a lawyer and eventually married. In 1978 the band reunited on the urging of Hess' wife as a four-piece of Gibson, Hiscox, Hess and new guitarist Terry Whitford. They performed cover tune material from their early '60's heyday. With Danny Lowe (Painter, 49th Parallel) they produced a 7" single of the old Knickerbockers classic "One Track Mind" in March 1980. Years: 1960 to 1981 Location: Calgary, Alberta
