Long time no update ...
Chasar Online is intended as an information resource, for a band that hasn't
played together in 18 years, so updates can only happen when there's something
new to put on here, be it pictures, articles, sounds or yer actual news.
As webmaster (stupid bloody word, that!), I've got my hands full with my
own musical commitments, so I can only check in on a fairly limited basis.
All that having been said it looks like we're getting about 2000 page
views per month here right now, so clearly there's still interest - so I'll
make the effort then! In fact I hadn't looked in here for so long, the
Chasar Online yahoo mail address had lapsed - I've since reactivated the
account and will check it regularly. Honest.
I've just sent an article and some new (old) pics on Chasar to the Glasband 80 website. I also
have a bunch of new (old) photographs to be posted here hopefully in the next
day or two.
I'll be updating and cleaning up the site this week.; to start with, I've
cleared out the spam attack from the guestbook - I'll keep more of an eye
on it in future. One of the reasons for that is that once I'd cleared
it out I found this posting left at the end of September:
‘Hey guys I am the drummer from Chasar. Just to say thanks to all your smashing
comments, I was talking to Alec at a gig - if Ian Tait is up for it we could
do a few showcase gigs.
Jim Marshall’
I think that qualifies as yer actual news ...

The new issue of 'Sweden Rock' magazine features Swedish-language
reviews of the Chasar and Exit albums which - as far as I can tell (!)
are very positive indeed. 'SW' scribe Mikael Johanssen
also lists the Chasar album in his playlist for the issue. Mikael
is also writing the NWOBHM article mentioned last time (below), which is
due to appear August 2002.
Chasar will be featured in an article on the NWOBHM in the next issue
of 'Sweden Rock Magazine'. Alec was asked for comments on NWOBHM
ans life as a Scottish band at the time.
No Dice EP review is now up; News updated.
although I still enjoy the music am just not as into collecting
as I once was ...
