A second album was based on the musical score written by the band for a stage play by Canadian playwright George Ryga, Grass and Wild Strawberries.Ĭhilliwack effectively began with the departure of vocalist Howie Vickers from the Collectors in 1969 however, the band didn't change its name until 1970, to Chilliwack, a Salish term meaning "going back up" and the name of a city east of Vancouver in the Fraser River valley. Their psychedelic debut album yielded the minor hit "Lydia Purple". The band initially formed as the Classics (1964) in Vancouver, British Columbia, but later changed the name to the Collectors (1966). They are perhaps best remembered for their three biggest songs "My Girl (Gone Gone Gone)", "I Believe" and "Whatcha Gonna Do." The band's lineup has changed numerous times, though Bill Henderson has constantly remained a fixture, and Chilliwack continues to tour across Canada. Chilliwack are a Canadian rock band that had their heyday during the 1970s and 1980s.
