The Chameleons in Santa Ana

The Chameleons are an English post-punk band formed in Middleton, Greater Manchester, in 1981. Their spacious, guitar-led sound is captured on the albums Script of the Bridge, What Does Anything Mean? Basically and Strange Times, and in songs including “Second Skin,” “Up the Down Escalator” and “Swamp Thing.” A 1984 concert at London’s Camden Palace was filmed, preserving the band’s early live lineup. The best-known lineup reunited in 2000 and recorded performances at Manchester Academy that were released as Live at the Academy. After returning under The Chameleons name in 2021, the band toured North America in 2022, performing Script of the Bridge in full and appearing with Theatre of Hate.
