Encyclopedia
Terje Winterstø Røthing (born Terje Vinterstø in 1977) is a Norwegian
musician, playing guitar

.
Terje joined a band named Kaizers Orchestra
a little while after the band started in 2000, but he had also participated on the projects the different bandmembers had before those times. Terje was an old musician-buddy of Janove Ottesen
and Geir Zahl
, and had participated on every single one of the recordings of "Blod, Snått & Juling" (band) and "gnom" (band). Terje had, just like Geir, background from "Klepp Rockclub", and played funk/rock guitar in "Zombie Porrkchop" (band) and later indie-guitar in "Watershed" (band).
So, under the name Terje "Killmaster" Kaizer he now plays the lead guitar in the Norwegian rock band Kaizers Orchestra
, a band that is becoming more and more known not only in Scandinavia
but throughout Europe
for their energetic live shows.
Røthing is also the frontman of the Norwegian punk band Skambankt
that plays a mixture of punk
, rock'n'roll and hard rock
. In that band, he goes by the name Ted Winters and plays not only second guitar but also vocals.
Before coming to success with Kaizers Orchestra and Skambankt, he played in bands including (the Norwegian) Watershed, Ebenezer, Zombie Porkshop and allegedly the mysterious band Johnny and the Sexual Problems. He has also on occasion played guitar for The Goo Men.
In 2009, Terje actually opened a photo-exhibit at a galleri in Oslo
