Chon (band)

Chon (stylized as CHON) is an American progressive metal band from San Diego, California. The band originally comprised of bassist Esiah Camarena, drummer Nathan Camarena, and guitarists Erick Hansel and Mario Camarena. Esiah 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.

History

Chon began in 2008 with the recording of a self-titled demo. In 2010, the band took a break, even though they got together in 2011 to record two new songs, "Og" and "Breathe." They returned in 2013 with the release of their debut EP titled Newborn Sun. The following year Chon released their second EP, titled Woohoo!. In this year Chon embarked on two nationwide tours with Animals as Leaders. In December of 2014, Chon signed with Sumerian Records and announced they are releasing their debut full length the following year. On February 5, 2015, the band announced their debut full length titled Grow will be released in March of 2015. On March 5, the band premiered their song Can't Wait from the album via Red Bull. They released the album on March 24. Eight days prior the band embarked on a 27 date tour supporting Circa Survive. On December 16, 2015, Chon announced their first full US headlining tour, with accompanying bands Polyphia and Strawberry Girls.

+/- (band)

+/-, or Plus/Minus, is an American indietronic band formed in 2001. The band makes use of both electronic and traditional instruments, and has sought to use electronics to recreate traditional indie rock song forms and instrumental structures. The group has released two albums on each of the American indie labels Teenbeat Records and Absolutely Kosher, and their track "All I do" was prominently featured in the soundtrack for the major film Wicker Park. The group has developed a devoted following in Japan and Taiwan, and has toured there frequently. Although many artists append bonus tracks onto the end of Japanese album releases to discourage purchasers from buying cheaper US import versions, the overseas versions of +/- albums are usually quite different from the US versions - tracklists can be rearranged, artwork with noticeable changes is used, and tracks from the US version can be replaced as well as augmented by bonus tracks.

CHON

CHON is a mnemonic acronym for the four most common elements in living organisms: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.

The acronym CHNOPS, which stands for carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, represents the six most important chemical elements whose covalent combinations make up most biological molecules on Earth.Sulfur is used in the amino acids cysteine and methionine.Phosphorus is an essential element in the formation of phospholipids, a class of lipids that are a major component of all cell membranes, as they can form lipid bilayers, which keep ions, proteins, and other molecules where they are needed for cell function, and prevent them from diffusing into areas where they should not be. Phosphate groups are also an essential component of the backbone of nucleic acids and are required to form ATP – the main molecule used as energy powering the cell in all living creatures.

Carbonaceous asteroids are rich in CHON elements. These asteroids are the most common type, and frequently collide with Earth as meteorites. Such collisions were especially common early in Earth's history, and these impactors may have been crucial in the formation of the planet's oceans.
