Terje Winterstø Røthing (born Terje Vinterstø in 1977) is a Norwegian musician, playing guitar in two rock bands.
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[1] 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, with photos from Kaizers Orchestra's tour(s), in cooperation with Paal Audestad.
Terje has a wife, named Ragnhild Winterstø. They had a child in November 2010, during Skambankt's tour, and they had to cancel the p3 sessions concert. Also - Terje's wife, Ragnhild is singing a duet with Janove Ottesen on Kaizers Orchestra's album: Maskineri, that was released in 2008. The song is named "Den andre er meg".
