An absolutely amazing group and one I've followed for years. I was and American in Manchester courting my "wife to be" way back in 1989 when I stopped in a small record shop to ask the owner if they were playing anywhere; his response: "Sorry, mate, they've just broekn up". Fortunatly, I was able to hear Mark and his "Chameoleon Vox" in Los Angeles a few years ago. So I am so pleased and excited that they are still touring - and definitely going to see them at at least one of their U.S. tours -either Mesa, Arizona or San Diego, CA. Stand Fast, boys - we love you!

The Chameleons were EPIC First gig of 2020 for them and I stood right at the front so I could see everything! It was pure Gold and had a profound impact within me as I thought it would Venue is my favourite ever and The Chameleons are getting all the love and respect they deserve! Vive’ Le Rock #restpeacefullysophielancaster

Awesome show. I'm gonna miss them when they supposedly break up after this tour. Burgess voice was on point. The guitars were shimmering and clear like the Ocean. I was so happy when they played PS I love you in the encore.

Opening bands sextile and soft kill were great openers too specially Sextile.

First of all, it wasn't The Chameleons, it was ChameleonsVOX. But it might as well been the official band, as they were awesome!

The place was packed. Luckily there was a balcony with a few stools which I made use of.

Absolutely amazing. The band were incredibly tight and polished. Song lyrics from the heart and they deserve way more recognition. Mark and band should be up there with all the Manchester greats. Please tour again.

It was truly amazing !!! ❤️ I've been a fan for many years ! Watching last night and getting to hear my favorite album was something I'll never forget !! I left the show wanting to see more of The Chameleons!!

Great band, brilliant night. Perfect antidote to the post-election blues. Most audience clamour for an encore that I've heard at any gig this year. Lots of happy people left at the end with a smile on their face!

The Chameleons to Release New Live Album Ahead of North American Tour with The Mission and Theatre of Hate

• February 27, 2022
• post-punk.com

Metropolis Records has added legendary post-punk outfit The Chameleons to their roster. Along with the announcement of the signing also comes the news that the label will be releasing a new live album from the band, recorded during sessions last spring.

The new album , “Edge Sessions (Live From The Edge)”, is a collection of seven classic Chameleons songs performed live in May of 2021 by founding members Mark Burgess and Reg Smithies, and recent members Chris Oliver on guitar, and Stephen Rice on drums.

The record also includes three additional bonus tracks of ChameleonsVox era live recordings to round out the LP.

Following the release, The Chameleons will be joining both The Mission and Theatre of Hate on a tour of the United States and Canada throughout September and October of this year.

The vastly influential post-punk act The Chameleons (UK) was formed in Manchester, England in 1981, with the original lineup of vocalist/bassist Mark Burgess, guitarists Reg Smithies and Dave Fielding, and drummer John Lever (who quickly replaced founding member Brian Schofield).

The band went on to release three classic albums: “Script of the Bridge” (1983), “What Does Anything Mean? Basically” (1985), and “Strange Times” (1986) before breaking up.

“Edge Sessions (Live From The Edge)” will be released on CD, limited edition vinyl as well as through all streaming and digital platforms on April 15, 2022, by Metropolis Records.

WITH GUESTS ON ALL DATES: VISION VIDEO

Pioneering post/punk band – CHAMELEONS – will be embarking on one of their biggest UK tours in decades this Winter.

Formed in Greater Manchester in 1981 by singer and bassist  Mark Burgess , Chameleons have remained one of the city’s most revered bands among musos ever since their inception. With notable fans including the likes of Noel Gallgher to Interpol, The Charlatans to Moby, their music has been passed down through the generations like an elixir of eternal inspiration. And here in 2024, a growing fandom of their immense canon sees Chameleons finding immortality as something of a cult phenomenon.

With their dedicated advocates finding awe in the “ sonic  cathedrals” in which they have constructed over the past four decades, Chameleons have released  four iconic studio albums  (‘Script of the Bridge’ (1983), ‘What Does Anything Mean? Basically’(1985), ‘Strange Times’(1986) and latterly ‘Why Call It Anything’ (2001)), plus many Peel sessions, live records, compilations and an EP (‘Tony Fletcher Walked on Water…. La La La La La-La La-La-La’ (1990)). Shimmering, shadowy, and shrouded in deepest mysteries, their distinctive and towering post-punk songs sound as vital today as the moment they were built.

Acknowledging their supporters with an annual homecoming every December for the last nine years, a typically breathtaking pre-Christmas celebration of their music entitled ‘ Home Is Where The Heart Is ’, demand for the Chameleons on the live stage has surged to all time high. And with word spreading across the UK, in 2024, the band are set to embark on their  biggest UK tour in decades .

Venturing beyond their native  Manchester  this December,   Chameleons will be sizing up venues in  Bristol, Glasgow, Newcastle , not to mention a momentous appearance at  London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire , as they look to extend their annual celebrations nationwide.

With something special up their sleeves as ever for their loyal hometown following, Chameleons will this year be hosting  ‘Home Is Where The Heart Is’ 2024  from  Manchester’s Albert Hall . While it will be the 10th consecutive edition of the HIWTHI series, the upcoming show will be the band’s first ever time playing this majestic venue – a guaranteed sell-out.

Stepping-up to this tour with an incendiary setlist in mind, expect a broad, career-spanning collection of classics and opalescent deep cuts at these unmissable Chameleons December shows.

Support across the tour will come from Athens-based, Gothic post-punk heirs  Vision Video . Very special guests for Mancester and London will also be announced in due course.

With tickets on sale later this week, all dates are listed here as follows:

CHAMELEONS – DECEMBER 2024 TOUR Friday 6 th  December 2024 – Marble Factory, Bristol Saturday 7 th  December 2024 – O 2  Shepherds Bush Empire, London + Very Special Guests TBA Thursday 12 th  December 2024 – Garage, Glasgow Friday 13 th  December 2024 – Riverside, Newcastle Saturday 14 th  December 2024 – Albert Hall, Manchester ‘Home Is Where The Heart Is 2024’ + Very Special Guests TBA

Guess I’m buying tickets to the Austin show!

Do we need another Chams live album? At what point do we say enough? What we need is for Mark to call Dave and bury the hatchet. Do one last tour and call it a day. Stop flogging the Chameleons around the world playing the same songs despite how great those songs are.

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds 

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!

• Every day each car in  Moscow metro passes  more than 600 km, which is the distance from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
• Moscow subway system is the  5th in the intensity  of use (after the subways of Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul and Shanghai).
