CHTON News

Torstein Parelius (MANES, CHTON) sent to MetalCentre.com following news :

“Our drummer Vidar has chosen to leave Chton. The split is totally amicable and has been something we've seen coming for a little while now. As the activity in Camp Chton has only increased, he has chosen to step down and focus on his family-life. The gig we did at “Nattrock” was the last thing Vidar did with us. Horns raised to everyone that was there! We have found a replacement, and will announce this as we post pictures of the new line-up. Thanks to Vidar for all his dedication to Chton, and best of luck for the future!”

Also; Chton played a support-gig for the project 'Bunker Dora' thursday 26th of May. It has been a heated debate in Norwegian press lately concerning the location of a planned national centre for rock and pop that will include a music-archive and a museum. This support-gig, which had 25 bands on the bill, was in support of placing this centre in Trondheim. Other bands that played was (among others) TNT, Lumsk, Gĺte, Terje Tysland, Tungtvann, Suzuka etc.
