Chon, a band known for their instrumental progressive rock and math rock style, announced an indefinite hiatus in 2020. They have not released new music or performed together since then.
Chon, formed in 2008 in San Diego, California, quickly gained a following for their complex guitar work, intricate rhythms, and overall technical proficiency. The band consists of Mario Camarena, Erick Hansel on guitars, Esiah Camarena on bass, and Nathan Camarena on drums. They released several EPs and albums, with their self-titled album “Chon” in 2019 being their latest.
After years of touring and recording, Chon decided to take a break from the music scene. The announcement came via their social media platforms, where they expressed gratitude to their fans and the experiences they’ve shared. The hiatus was not accompanied by any specific reasons, leaving the door open for potential future projects or reunions. Fans of the band have been hopeful for a return, but as of my knowledge cutoff in 2023, there have been no updates on the band’s status or plans to resume activity.
