Информация о артисте
The Chameleons («Хамелеоны») — английская пост-панк-группа, незаcлуженно недооценённая музыкальным сообществом, но являющаяся до сих пор образцом подражания для многих её последователей. Такие современные группы, как Interpol и Editors называют эту группу среди тех, которые оказали на них огромное влияние. Группа была создана бас-гитаристом Марком Берджиссом в 1980 году в Мидлтоне близ Манчестера. В Америке группа была известна как The Chameleons UK. Состав группы: Марк Берджисс (вокал, бас-гитара), Рэг Смитес (гитара), Джон Левер (барабаны), Дэйв Филдинг (гитара). За семь лет своего существования группа выпустила 3 альбома и в 1987 году была распущена из-за внезапной смерти своего менеджера Тони Флэтчера. Группа смогла вновь собраться лишь в 2000 году и спустя более чем 10 лет выпустила альбом Strip в который входили акустические версии раннего материала команды. В 2001 вышел новый альбом Why Call It Anything?, а в 2002-ом на прилавках магазинов появился альбом This Never Ending, который также, как ранее Strip содержал акустические версии раннего творчества группы. Но воссоединение The Chameleons было недолгим и уже к концу 2002 года группа вновь прекратила своё сущетвование из-за непреодолимых разногласий в коллективе. The Chameleons, в итоге, так и не смогли достичь коммерческого успеха, но это не сделало «Хамелеонов» менее культовой пост-панк-группой, чем более успешных их современников.

The Chameleons (called The Chameleons UK on some American releases) were a post-punk band that formed in Middleton, Greater Manchester, England, UK in 1981. They consisted of singer and bassist Mark Burgess, guitarist Reg Smithies, guitarist Dave Fielding, and drummer John Lever.
The band initially released three studio albums in the 1980s, to solid critical acclaim. After their third release, Strange Times, in 1987 they abruptly disbanded following the sudden death of band manager Tony Fletcher. The Chameleons were, for all practical purposes, extinct for well over a decade before releasing - to the delight and even disbelief of its ardently loyal fan base - a final studio album in 2001, entitled Why Call It Anything. The band quickly dissolved once again in 2003 due to personal differences, after a successful reunion tour which took them across Europe and the United States. Though having never attained the level of commercial success or fame enjoyed by their contemporaries (e.g. U2, Echo and the Bunnymen, Joy Division), The Chameleons' early impact can still be felt throughout much of popular music today.
Dave Fielding went on to form The Reegs who released a couple of ep's . Then in 2003 formed Coconut Dogfuck a trance techno dance act with Ralph on percussion, Paul Didge on didge and Dave playing guitar and dulcimer . They released an ep and played festivals and gigs around the uk . Andy Clegg Keyboards with the Chameleons also joind Mark and Andy Whittikar to form Sun and the Moon. Both Andys also played with Manchester Band B.F.G. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
