The Chameleons to reform?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

That's me birthday! But I may have spent too much already on the Nephilim at the weekend and the Sisters in September...

i hadnt. but i did notice that they were touring as the Chameleons and not Chameleons Vox. which might mean they could play In Shreds live. otherwise they can f**k off. Rude and drunken manc followers ruined the last twice i saw them and Burgess basically encouraged it.

They're even playing Belfast! Though the venue rather than the band has announced it. :-)

And the eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed that in the last month they have become THE Chameleons - not Chameleons.

My older copy of Script Of The Bridge has them as 'THE Chameleons' but my American copy has them as 'Chameleons UK' not 'THE Chameleons UK'. Odd the things you never noticed for almost 40 years eh? Hope you're well Ness & if they dont play In Shreds live again, it will seem -to me- to be self-contradictory...

that was bloody great

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0025tzv

track list:

Rock And Roll Star (6 Music Session, 16 Dec 2024)
The Fan And The Bellows (6 Music Session, 16 Dec 2024)
Everyday I'm Crucified (6 Music Session, 16 Dec 2024)
Where Are You? (6 Music Session, 16 Dec 2024)
Free Me (6 Music Session, 16 Dec 2024)

don't ever recall hearing them play Everyday I'm Crucified live before, and they adapted it a little and reworked some of the lyrics, but small changes aside, it sounds very powerful and bloody groovy.

gave me literal goose bumps.
