    Biography :

    The Dischords were formed in the late 1950s at las Lomas High School in Walnut Creek, California. They were one of many recorded but never rerased vocal group. Membership comprised of Chris Nakano, Mike Tompkins, Perry Conner, Greg Bertagnolli and Randal "Randy" Tamberg, guitar accompaniment. The Group took pianist Keith Howard along to the studio to support the beautiful "My Rochelle" (Conceved by Tamberg), sandwiched with a cover of the charts "You're The Reason", waxed for everest in 1957. Both songs are strong, ethereal-sounding ballads which should have surfaced on Music City.

    1. I loved their sound and not just because my big brother Mike Tompkins was part of the group, okay maybe a just a little.  They truly had great harmony and practiced so often at our Walnut Creek home.  They sang at my eighth grade graduation dance at Walnut Creek Elementary many moons ago.  My big brother drove me nuts most of the time, but i was never so proud   I lost him in June of 2022  One of the saddest days of my life   RIP big brother your little brat sister thinks of you often, Pam Tompkins Wyche a.k.a Lil Ug and Portia
