 [[Chunky, Novi & Ernie]] as a group, evolved from '''Rebecca & The Sunnybrook Farmers'''. Bassist [[Ernie Eremita]], guitarist Mickey Kapner, vocalist Ki-Ki, drummer Clifford Mandell, viola player [[Novi Novog]] and multi-instrumentalist [[Chunky|Ilene Rappaport]], supposedly met and became friends while attending high school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Signed by the New York based Musicor label, the group's debut ("Rebirth", 1969, Musicor MS 3176) teamed them with producers Bob Schwartz and Stu Kuby. Reportedly recorded in a week. Largely penned by Kapner, Novog and Rappaport, material such as "Two Blind Sisters", "Endless Trip" and "David & Sally" is quite eclectic, effortlessly mixing classical, folk, pop and psych influences into an extremely likeable stew. The band has a clubby, almost garagey sound which adds to the crashpad feel, and there's unexpected and quite good use of violin throughout. Songs with eclectic folk and jazz moves, plus a couple of acid freakouts. The band actually toured, opening for the likes of The Lemon Pipers. They even played Woodstock, though their performance came a year before the historic rock festival. Kapner went on to play with Country Joe McDonald and the Fish. A couple of years later Rappaport, Novog and Eremita recorded two LPs as [[Chunky, Novi & Ernie]].
