Some history:
Iliya and Leech first met as competing musicians in a “Battle of the Bands” event in Sofia. In a weird turn of events, couple of months later they met after their original bands broke up.
Their strong individualities made them choose the name CHVoR stating their difference from the crowd and their indifference to the criticism for their alternative and ahead-of-it’s-time music and life stile.
After several attempts to attract reliable and capable musicians to the cause, the founders of CHVoR managed to get the old friend Eddie back into music after he almost gave it all up and sell out his equipment.
Mescalito was recruited during a Spanish language course he took with Leech.
The band members work and hang out as best friends for more than 5 years now.
