BBC radio session with new song

I saw the band in Manchester on Saturday night, their annual hometown Xmas gig. They began with a new song called Rock n Roll Star. On Monday they did a BBC6 Music session that included Rock n Roll Star and another new song "Free Me". If you're outside the UK you might not be able to access this but I'm planning to record the whole show to MP3.

Second Skin appreciation post

It's been a while since I last listened to The Chameleons, but I'm forever amazed by how Second Skin hits me every. Damn. Time. It's PERFECT.

Since my first listen of Script of the Bridge, it is a song that gets me because of how ethereal it sounds, also the lyrics, everything. It's definetely my favourite song ever, by any artist. Don't mind me, I just felt like sharing the love lol

Recently Started Listening…AMAZING!!

I had AI recommend me an album based on my taste and it gave me “Script of the Bridge.” I LOVED it…so I listened to a second album today. Also…AMAZING!! I am in love in a way I haven’t been in a while with a band.

Anyone going to the gig in Bristol?

I've just moved from Canada to Bath and saw that The Chameleons are performing in Bristol next week. Is anyone going and wouldn't mind an additional person taking along? I'm 33(m).

What are we hoping for with the next album, Arctic Moon?

We’ve heard Mark say to expect a departure from the typical Chameleons sound but for it to still have a Chameleons vibe. He has mentioned 60’s/70’s vibes. He also mentioned some negative backlash to their “Where Are You” single. I admittedly thought it was only fine. Personally, I welcome something different.

When “Why Call It Anything” dropped I thought it was a perfect blend of their sound with some new elements thrown in the mix (I love that album). I’d be interested for Arctic Moon to stray even further. My worry is not that it won’t have “the Chameleons” sound, it is that it will be overly generic. “Where Are You” for me was pretty generic. For example, the old standard two strings playing same note via bending riff thing. Not expecting them to reinvent the wheel, but hoping for less typical rock sounds.

The name Arctic Moon makes it sound like a Black Metal album 😂.

What are you hoping for?

Next album?

Ik this is kind of a boring question but I’ve absolutely became obsessed with script of the bridge over the past few months (favourites being monkeyland and Thursdays child). So I was just curious what album is next best (or the better album) in the ‘chameleons hierarchy’ of albums?

WARNING: SCAM ALERT!!

Hey folks, please beware of this user: @Odd-Initial-2292 if they try to sell you any tickets in the future!! I was unfortunately scammed by them last night when I was seeking a ticket to the Berlin concert on 15,09.2024. This person did the classic ghosting act as soon as I transferred the amount. This person is a fraud and a scammer, and stole my hard-earned money!

Chameleons radio sessions database?

My introduction to the Chameleons was the Peel Sessions album, in the late 80s, and to me their radio sessions are generally great versions of their stuff, especially songs from What Does Anything Mean? Basically. Has anyone done a list/database of their various radio session? I keep finding sessions I haven't heard of before and the nerd in me wants a thorough list of their sessions, including CD/vinyl releases. I'm happy to do it myself but not if someone's already done the work!

Can't wait to see them in London this December!

There is a 6 page Chameleons article. The one with Stevie Nicks on the cover. It's mostly an interview with Mark.
