ChinWig
 ChinWig is current project band outing for Pete Bangert, Krys Bangert, Gordon Henderson, Mick Shedd and Aidan Hall designed to deliver a new set of original material. The name was derived from the preponderance of facial adornment sported by the various band members, and hopefully reflects a more philosophical and cerebral approach to the music brought about by much strokey-beard movement.
They released their debut album Be Upstanding this year to good critical response. Click on the cover on the right to see the album details and to listen to clips from the album.
The recently released album 'The Jester... Thinks...' by Pig'n'aif on the Rising Records label also forms the starting point of new material featured by ChinWig . The track 'The Jester' is the (sort of) title track from the collection. You can see the video of this track on the Media page of this site or on the Pig’n’aif web site.
The band are now working on new material to add to the ChinWig portfolio to form their second album. You can find more details about the band, their background and their material on the ChinWig web site.
 Pete Bangert is a long serving musician from the Sheffield area. Pete formed ChinWig probably because it was about time. He plays guitar and sings in the band and is the primary songwriter for the band’s original material. 
Krys Bangert also plays lead guitar in the band. Krys has worked with a number of other bands including Severance and his other current project band Setsudan.
 Vocals are delivered by Mick Shedd , a well known South Yorkshire musician from such bands as Shedd's on Fire and Fixer . Pete and Mick had a short sojourn with the band ToshRollo back in the late '80's and it’s about time they renewed their musical partnership.
The drums are played by Gordon Henderson , a well know musician from the Yorkshire area. He has previously played in Phoenix Rising with Pete and this is the renewal of a partnership that worked excellently in the past.
Aidan Hall plays bass in the band. He is a seasoned, trained and qualified multi-instrumentalist specialising in bass of all styles. Aidan has been in a number of different bands playing indie, acoustic and rock including indie rockers Monkeyface.
 Alan Bangert is the Sound Engineer and Road Manager. He brings many years of experience to the band, making the band’s lives a lot easier - not to mention giving them something to point at and chuckle when things are looking bleak.
Here is a video of the band performing the album track Stormbringer taken from their Be Upstanding album.
