- Formed in Middleton near Manchester, England in 1981 The Chameleons never quite achieved the success of many of their contemporaries but are arguably just as important. Today the band still has a huge international fan base and it's not surprising. The distinct often melancholy sound is at once abrasive and melodic; their live performances both mesmerising and highly emotional; their stage presence larger than life. In many ways the Chameleons epitomise the northern post punk movement of the eighties, capturing the mood of those bleak times when many industries were in terminal decline and anywhere north of Watford was considered a wasteland. The Chameleons channelled dissolution in to music like nobody else, but somehow managed to create a sound that was uplifting, almost hymn-like.
Live at Camden was shot in 1985 and became a best selling video on its release in the mid eighties. It features a superb performance and includes many of the bands most popular numbers.

One of the greatest bands you've never heard!
Oh I heard of them and loved them since around 1986 when I first heard Up the Down Escalator in a dance club, then I heard Swamp thing and fell in love. Greatest band ever.
The two guys who were doing backing vocals and then jumped are legends.

The Band that should of' (been an arena band) around 3:37. The older guy in the audience with the eyeliner punk girls. That's his Manager Tony (who died). this is a classic video because He wasn't doing some Artful message incorporated into the song. He was looking at his manager going "Concert is canceled, I can't keep doing this, I'm 24 fucking years old" (With all the band members behind him huddled and playing.. this was real angst! He wanted bigger gigs. and it never happened because that guy died and they broke up afterwards. with Mark forming The Sun and the Moon.
Es su versión de ese gran tema de Alternative TV!
