(1980 – 1982)

Bio: After CVC split up, the singer and bassplayer start The Chops on bass and guitar. Eventually lose their 2nd guitarplayer and do some gigs with only 1 guitarplayer. Speedy goes to the Boegies, Chris begins concentrating on his studies, Kees goes to play in The Slow Ones and brothers Vergonet start a restaurant in their old rehearsalroom.
