Chilliwack Trivia Questions
1. "Gone, gone, gone, she's been gone so long, she's been gone, gone, gone so long. Ever since she left me, I _____________."

From Quiz "My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone)" By Chilliwack

Answer: sure feel all alone

Chilliwack started out in 1964 as The Classics, but two years later they changed their name to The Collectors. In 1970, they changed their name to Chilliwack.

2. The band's new name, Chilliwack, was taken from a city along the Fraser River, not far from the Canadian city where the band originated. Which larger city was that?

From Quiz Fly At Night: The Chilliwack Saga

Answer: Vancouver

The city of Chilliwack, British Columbia is about 100 km (60 mi) from Vancouver. "Chilliwack" means "valley of many streams" in the First Nations Halq'eméylem language. The Collectors felt that that a new name would help them establish an identity as a rock band rather than a 60s psychedelic band -- but they also liked the idea that the name reflected the diverse influences ("many streams") comprising their sound.

From Quiz Fly At Night: The Chilliwack Saga

Answer: Lonesome Mary

After Vickers left the group, Bill Henderson (guitar, lead vocals) and Claire Lawrence (flue, sax, keyboards, vocals) co-led Chilliwack and composed most of the group's material. However, foreshadowing something that would recur throughout Chilliwack's life, Lawrence quit immediately after the success of "Lonesome Mary", leaving the band as a trio and Henderson as the sole leader and songwriter. The band's next album flopped, leading to Chilliwack being dropped by both its Canadian and American labels.

7. In 1976, Chilliwack signed with Mushroom Records, a Vancouver-based US/Canadian label that was currently booming due to an album named "Dreamboat Annie". Which American/Canadian band recorded this album?

From Quiz Fly At Night: The Chilliwack Saga

Answer: Heart

One of the members of Heart had moved from Seattle to Vancouver to dodge the Vietnam-era draft, and before long his brother, his girlfriend, and her sister joined him there. Eventually, the sisters (Ann and Nancy Wilson) became the focal point of the band, which broke up the romantic relationships. At that time, Mushroom operated both a recording studio (Can-Base) and a record label. Heart had gone to Can-Base to record some demo tracks, which Mushroom then released as "Dreamboat Annie" to immediate acclaim. However, in 1977, when Heart and its producer found out how poor their royalty deal with Mushroom was, they quit the label during the recording of their second album, triggering a huge legal battle ... which Heart eventually won.

The Juno Award (named for former Canadian Broadcasting Corporation president Pierre Juneau, not for the Roman goddess) is the annual award for excellence in Canadian music, and Bill Henderson and Bryan MacLeod were named Producers of the Year for "Opus X" (so named because it was Chilliwack's tenth album, not counting the two Collectors albums). However, right after receiving the award, MacLeod and bassist Ab Bryant decided to quit Chilliwack to pursue Headpins, and Millennium Records soon collapsed -- the fourth label that Chilliwack had been on to suffer that fate (joining Goldfish, Casino, and Mushroom), putting all of their seven most successful albums out of print in the US.
