The Chameleons (called The Chameleons UK on some American releases) were a dream pop/post-punk band that formed in Middleton, in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England in 1981 (see 1981 in music). They consisted of singer and bassist Mark Burgess, guitarist Reg Smithies, guitarist Dave Fielding, and drummer John Lever. Their body of work is still critically acclaimed within the music press and influenced bands as diverse as The Smiths, Protokoll, The Comsat Angels, Puressence, Interpol, Editors and Oasis
The band initially released three studio albums in the 1980s. After their third release, Strange Times, in 1987 they abruptly disbanded following the sudden death of band manager Tony Fletcher. The Chameleons were, for all practical purposes, extinct for well over a decade before releasing a final studio album in 2001, entitled Why Call It Anything. The band quickly dissolved once again in 2002 due to personal differences, after a successful reunion tour which took them across Europe and the United States. The band never attained the level of commercial success or fame enjoyed by their contemporaries (e.g. U2, Echo and the Bunnymen, Joy Division)
the lil riff at the start gets me every time. It’s gorgeous.
_"We have no future, we have no past... We're just drifting ghosts of glass... Brown sugar ice in our veins... No pressure, no pain"_ - The Chameleons _'Caution'_
Best band EVER
Absolutely ❤
Моя самая любимая песня у них! Как круто звучат гитары. Эта лайв версия- охуительная
The Best track on Strange Times. Amazing lyrics the song builds to a crescendo !! A cacophony of adrenaline ! NO ! This is not my home. NO !
Agreed 100%
I feel like in answer is just a bit better
Massively underrated band. Almost criminal.
How many bands did they influence? Too many to count.
Brilliant.
@Jimmy Scutts I went to a New Model Army gig with Mark in my home town of Aberdeen in the 90`s. Then we went to a night club & boogied our socks off! Top guy, so accomodating & just a genuinley nice guy. Spoke to him a few weeks ago (i`m sure he couldn`t remember me even though we had some great nights out & i kept him up all night talking & messing around wth guitars) i told him to give me a shout the next time he`s up my way & i bet anything you like he does. Thats the kind of guy he is. A true gem of a guy.
Just stunning by Manchester's finest. Gods.
Great track!
Brilliant stuff. Greatest band from the 80's no one has ever heard of. And the crap I was forced to listen to.
Such a shame we wont see you all on stage together again....
so good
Love his..................voice. no pretense!
always been the best and always will be..what a wicked band....first class song...
One of their very best songs! Call me crazy but shades of Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" at the end. The Chams were one of the greatest bands ever.. Come back please!!
One of the most underrated bands of the era.
RIP John Lever So sad.
THANKS FOR POSTING!!!
Mark Burgess says at 8:53, "the best show of the tour" and considering how good they sounded I always agreed!!! ... After the show my friends and I talked about how amazed we were, as the band didn't miss a beat and sounded awesome. It's no wonder they used this concert as footage for their live DVD, "Ascension." You could tell, they really enjoyed being there that evening. As I remember, Dave smiled and gave Mark a hug between one of the songs, can't recall which. Thanks again for sharing this clip ..... I posted "Swamp Thing," the opening song of this same show. The Chameleons - Swamp Thing (Live in San Francisco 2002)
