Chameleons

Known for their atmospheric, guitar-based sound and passionate lyrics, Chameleons are regarded as one of the most underrated Manchester bands of the 1980s. Original members Mark Burgess and Reg Smithies reformed the band in 2020 to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the 'What Does Anything Mean? Basically' album. Now back on the road, it's becoming clear that neither their power or delicacy has been tempered by such a long absence.

In 2014, debut album The Dangers Of Evil Blizzard was unleashed upon the world and its sonic grooves and unrelenting weirdness quickly captured, and held hostage, the minds and imaginations of freaks across the land. Landing on the cover of The Guardian’s entertainment supplement, and warping the brains of Kerrang’s readership, the five-piece won accolades and nervous glances wherever they went. The band continue to deliver sinister psychedelic rock that will melt your mind and soul. You have been warned.
