Vancouver show

Last night I saw that there would be a show in vancouver (near where i live) and FREAKED OUT- I never thought i’d be able to see my favourite band live. But just now i’m noticing that it says it’s a 19+ event :( is there any way around this??? I want to go so bad. Do venues actually take this seriously ?

Just bought my ticket for the Strange Times show in Dallas TX. Never thought I’d get to see them live in my lifetime!

Tony Fletcher EP

I'm sure most here agree that this EP is a work of genius. Maybe Free For All isn't as good as the other three but still a pretty solid song. As is the other somewhat overlooked song Ever After.

I've got tickets for the upcoming Strange Times tour... What kind of merch can I expect to be available?

Anyone that's seen the band in the last few years, can you recall what they had available for sale? I'd love a good shirt, as anything related to the band is tough to find in the US.

Script Of The Bridge vs WDAMB

Been a fan for about a year now, and have been obsessed with Script Of The Bridge for that entire time. Every single track on that album to me is flawless; even my less favourite songs from the album feel timeless in a way I barely see in many other releases from other artists. I really really enjoy the hazy melodies and lyricism in each song, not a single one fails to draw me in during each play.

After a year I decided a couple of days ago to listen to WDAMB for the first time. Some bangers on the album for sure but in my humble opinion it doesn’t come close to Script Of A Bridge. I’m not sure I have the words to describe why, but I think the latter is just so effortlessly masterful production-wise in comparison to WDAMB.

What’s the consensus here? Is Script Of A Bridge generally seen as the better album? I noticed on Wikipedia that WDAMB ranked higher on the charts when it came out and I wonder if that reflects the majority opinion on the sub.

The main influences of the band

What do people reckon flavors the chameleons sound?

I'll start with the most obvious : the Surrealist movement

Cover for In Shreds / Nostalgia?

I’m getting this tattooed next month, but I can’t seem to find a good quality photo/scan of the cover anywhere. There’s some listings for it in Discogs, but they’re all in different continents so I’m afraid they wouldn’t get to me in time.

Does anyone here have a copy of this they’d be willing to scan/photograph and send to me? I’d really appreciate it :) thanks guys

Wondering if anyone has a video of Caution live in Toronto

Hi all, before Mark preformed Caution, he said a little something and dedicated the song to me and I was wondering if anybody got those short words on video. I was so overwhelmed and excited that night I forgot to video anything.

Great Set In Chicago Last Night

I wish they headlined instead of The Mission, but I’m happy I got to see them. They played with a lot of energy and sounded awesome.

After the show, Mark was talking with fans on the floor! I got to shake his hand and thank him for all of his great music. He was very friendly and humble.

I hope they’re back soon with a headline tour!

Are The Chameleons breaking up soon?

Debating trying to catch their show this week, but it’s on a horribly inconvenient day for me.

I read online that they are likely breaking up for good after this tour and would like to check the validity of that statement.

They’re my favorite band so if I need to drop a few hundred on rearranging my schedule I will but I really want to be sure :(

Where to find Strange Times?

I got into The Chameleons after Spotify (US) had already removed Strange Times, and I haven't been able to find it in good quality anywhere. There's a YouTube playlist with most of the songs in lowish quality, but I'd love to be able to listen to it in its full glory haha. I don't have a record or CD player anymore -- does anyone know where to find it if possible? Thank you

Favorite Chameleons Vox (post-reunion/breakup) live album

Hi all,

Was wondering if some of the hardcore fans had any favorites of the material Mark put out under the Chameleons Vox moniker. I really dug Return of The Roughnecks from a few years ago.

Which is your favorite version of “Tears”?

Since the album “Strange Times” is currently unavailable to stream in the US on Spotify or Apple Music, I recently listened to the CD which had two versions of “Tears”; the original arrangement and the full arrangement. I was just curious, what people think of them.

How can I get a guitar tone similar to the lead of perfume garden?

I'm trying to replicate that sound, is it from reverb pedals or something?
