 |
The Chantays are a surf rock band from the
early 1960s, best known for the hit
instrumental "Pipeline" (1963). It all
started in 1961 when 5 high school friends
decided to start their own band. Bob
Spickard, Brian Carman (co-writers of
Pipeline), Bob Welch, Warren Waters and Rob
Marshall were all students at Santa Ana High
School in California, when they were inspired
by a local group called The Rhythm Rockers.
Spickard, Carman, Welch, Waters and Marshall
got together forming The Chantays. The
Chantays recorded and released their hit
"Pipeline" in December 1962. "Pipeline" began
to get radio play pushing it up the charts in
1963.
The Chantays recorded their first full album
in 1963 entitled Pipeline which included
Pipeline, Blunderbus and El Conquistador.
Their follow up was Two Sides of The Chantays
in 1964. Their music combined electronic
keyboards and surf guitar, creating a unique
ghostly sound. Their songs have been on music
charts all over the world which helped make
surf music an international success.
The Chantays toured Japan and the US joining
the Righteous Brothers and Roy Orbison on a
few occasions, and were the only rock and
roll band to perform on the Lawrence Welk
Show. [1] Lawrence Welk May 18, 1963
"Pipeline" has become a standard surf rock
hit. It was written by Brian Carman and Bob
Spickard and published as sheet music in 1962
by Downey Music Publishing. It has since been
covered by The Ventures, Agent Orange, Hank
Marvin, Dick Dale with the help of Stevie Ray
Vaughan (Grammy Nominated), by thrash metal
band Anthrax, Bad Manners, and also by Johnny
Thunders. Pipeline has also been featured in
many films, television shows and commercials.
It also appears on numerous compilation CDs.
The Chantays have been honored for their
contributions to music. Some of the
highlights include being honored on April 12,
1996 by Hollywood's Rock Walk that was
founded to honor individuals and bands that
have made lasting and important contributions
to music. The Chantays have also been
included in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and
Museum in Cleveland, Ohio. Pipeline is listed
as one of the 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and
Roll. The Chantays along with Bill Medley of
The Righteous Brothers and Oscar Winner Diane
Keaton, were honored by the City of Santa
Ana, California and Santa Ana High School
when they named a street after them; Chantays
Way. OC Weekly Magazinealso named The
Chantays as one of the Best Orange County
Bands Ever.

The performance is rather poor and the gear
is just entry level. The amp and Frankentar
are not worth mentioning. Just the Super cool
stomp box: Electro-harmonix Holy Grail! You
have to forgive my mistakes since I've been
practicing only for the past three months...
Tx!
