The Chameleons • Rockhal, Luxembourg

Show & Culture

The Chameleons' legacy dates back to 1981 when the band was discovered by the legendary BBC Radio host John Peel. After their debut single 'In Shreds' on Epic Records in 1982, they released three influential albums during the 1980s: 'Script of the Bridge' (1983), often cited as a masterpiece ahead of its time, followed by 'What Does Anything Mean? Basically!' (1984), and for Geffen Records in the US, 'Strange Times' (1986). Their unique sound quickly captivated the public with a blend of melancholic yet powerful tracks, hypnotic ethereal riffs and timeless lyrical style. The Chameleons are considered one of the most influential guitar bands of the 80s and 90s, contributing to the post-punk, shoegaze, and indie scenes.
