Chris Von Rohr
Krokus
Founding member and bassist with legendary Swiss rock band
Krokus, Chris Von Rohr is now using a Vintage ICON V4MRSSB
with the band. Alongside a handful of other breakthrough
European bands of the early/mid 70's including Focus, Golden
Earring, Can, Tangerine Dream and Amon Duul II, Krokus'
distinctive heavy metal-flavoured recipe helped put 70's
Euro-Rock firmly on the musical map of the time.
Formed in 1974 by Von Rohr – on bass and originally
lead vocals – with guitarist Tommy Kiefer, Krokus
enjoyed a prolonged period of success in both Europe and
America, particularly in the 1980's when they often toured
as support to premier league rock bands such as AC/DC, Rainbow
and Def Leppard.
In 2007, an early Krokus line-up which featured Von Rohr,
guitarist Fernando Von Arb, drummer Freddy Steady and vocalist
Marc Storace, reunited to play a selection of Krokus hits
on a Swiss television show, whilst a version of the Sweet
glam anthem, Ballroom Blitz, performed by Krokus featured
in the computer game 'Guitar Hero: Rocks the 80's'.
Recently, the band announced that the reformed line-up will
stay together, and will be recording a new album and touring
in 2009.
