The Chymes

The Chymes were an all-female 1960's garage rock group that was signed to Chattahoochee Records. The group consisted of sisters Stephanie, Candice and Irisse. They were first discovered by Howard Kaylan of The Turtles. The group recorded their only songs in 1966, consisting of "He's Not There Anymore", which was released on a Chattahoochee 715 with a B side of their only other song "Quite A Reputation". They also recorded a song titled "Nobody Cares," written by Kaylan and his girlfriend Nita Garfield who helped discover The Chymes. However, no copies of the song remain.

The girls' brief popularity won them local television appearances. Their record reached #28 on the top 40.

Notable information

When the sisters first began recording, Stephanie was 16, Irisse was 15, and Candice was 13. Candice was the lead singer, Stephanie sang soprano harmony and Irisse sang alto harmony. They lived in the Los Angeles suburbs when they were discovered. The Chymes performed a live gig in Santa Barbara with another up-and-coming group known as the Sixpence, who were playing in the background and later changed their name to the Strawberry Alarm Clock. They did a lip-sync performance on a Bandstand-like show in San Diego, following the Mamas and the Papas.

Candice died on August 8, 2010, from lung cancer.

gollark: "E-books" contain text and images similarly to a normal book, but as digital information rather than paper.
gollark: Of course, in the interweb era™ "book" has become somewhat generalized, and often refers to the content itself, as this can be shipped as an "ebook".

gollark: Books:- mostly used to refer to objects of bound paper with covers (covers can be various materials, often card/harder paper)- paper inside the book ("pages") typically contains information about a topic encoded as patterns of ink on them- topics can include someone's notes on a subject, or something intended for wider distribution/other people such as a story/set of stories ("fiction") which did not really occur, or true information ("non-fiction")- cover generally contains art related to the contents, as well as what the book is named ("title") and who wrote it ("author")- the back will often contain a "blurb" describing the contents somewhat, as well as potentially reviews by others
gollark: The inevitability of book is inevitably inevitable.
