About Me

After the fall of Song Of Zarathustra in early 2003,several incarnations of what became |||CHARIOTS||| formed. The cast always featured Travis Bos (Ex-Song Of Zarathustra & Book Of Dead Names)on vocals,keyboard and effects while Arthur Gandy (Ex-Exercise) maintained the bass and additional vocals. During late 2003/early 2004,the two added members Eric Odness on guitar/vocals and Matt Kepler on drums.
The four quickly gained respect locally and on the road playing with bands such as Plot to Blow up the Eiffel Tower,Call Me Lightning,Since by Man,Ex Models,King Cobra,Die Monitr Batss,etc... Chariots was also included in 2004's Troubleman Unlimited roster for the CMJ Music Conference in New York.
In November of 2004,Chariots recorded their debut CD/LP entitled "Congratulations" with Dave Gardner (Melvins,Rocket from the Crypt,Hot Snakes,Har Mar Superstar,etc) at the Terrarium in Minneapolis,MN. The record will be available in stores March 8th,2005.
Future plans involve extensive touring in the U.S./Europe,etc,more recording and a few videos. One,which will be directed by the well known Chuck Statler who directed videos for such groups as DEVO,The Cars,Madness,Moldy Peaches,etc
