Chon is an American progressive rock band from San Diego, California. Their music is largely instrumental based with only few songs containing vocal performances. The band consists of Mario Camarena (guitar), Erick Hansel (guitar), and Nathan Camarena (drums). Original bass player Esiah Camerena left the band by the time of their debut EP release Newborn Sun in 2013, and was replaced by bassist Drew Pelisek. On November 8, 2015, Chon stated via their Twitter feed that they have parted ways with Drew Pelisek due to ‘artistic differences’. It was also confirmed by Drew on a personal account. Since Pelisek’s departure, Chon has had several touring bassists, including original bassist Esiah Camarena, who played bass during the Sonic Unrest Tour. It is unknown whether or not Esiah will return as a permanent member of the band.
