More about The Chameleons
About
The Chameleons were a highly influential British rock band whose intense and dynamic musicianship was never really understood or appreciated by the music press or public alike. The Chameleons were formed in 1981 in Middleton, Manchester by vocalist and bassist Mark Burgess, guitarists Dave Fielding and Reg Smithies and drummer Brian Schofield, though the latter was soon replaced by long standing drummer John Lever. Together they produced four studio albums (one unreleased by CBS) before splitting acrimoniously after the death of their manager, Tony Fletcher in 1987. They reformed in 2000 to the delight of their small but highly devoted fan base and produced a new studio album and two albums of stripped down covers of their own material. Currently, the band are working on individual projects.
