ABOUT

Chukonu are a four piece Hard Rock / Metal band from Hampshire,
England. Chukonu formed in 2012 from the remains of several local
bands and began rehearsing with the aim to locate a mutual sound.
Chukonu started to perform locally gathering a strong and dedicated

support acts at local venues.
In 2014 Chukonu continued with their momentum and embarked on a
UK tour of more established and suited venues. Chukonu supported
bands such as Judy Shire, Manic Shine and Eternal Fear on their UK
tours. This opportunity meant Chukonu now faced bigger exposure with
a stronger national fanbase, Working alongside bigger promotion
agencies and Record label interest. As well as acting as a support
band to International bands Chukonu continued to improve on their
progress by Headlining a series of venues throughout the UK alongside
further up and coming bands. Chukonu have also had a great amount

Rats, Human League and Kool and the Gang. This announcement has
led to Chukonu receiving interest from other medium sized venue's
throughout the UK and Europe.

promotions, Viper promotions, Rock Bitch promotions and Klawhammer
Music in order to gain exposure and increase on their national fanbase.
