Chameleons are: Vox (bass/vocals), Reg Smithies (guitar), Todd Demma (drums), Danny Ashbury (keyboards) and Stephen Rice (guitar)
Formed in Greater Manchester in 1981 by singer and bassist Vox, 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 right now, 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 five iconic studio albums (‘Script of the Bridge’ (1983), ‘What Does Anything Mean? Basically’(1985), ‘Strange Times’(1986), ‘Why Call It Anything’ (2001)) and Arctic Moon (2025), 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
They will be performing their seminal album ‘Script of the Bridge’ in full alongside a selection of adored classics from their amazing canon of work.
