chameleons

Cool stuff, STEVE. I never knew Venus Flytrap from WKRP was in the band though....

Acid wash jeans! They look uncomfortably tight, but I suppose that's the point when you're 20 something. I'm just as guilty, but I don't think anyone got me on film.

Can someone tell me....is Reg the red-head, and Dave the dark-haired one? Mark and John are easy to remember, but Dave and Reg are both scrawny little six string players. You'd think after 20 years of listening to this band I could've figured that out, but it's just never stuck.

Ah! I should have listened more carefully to the end of that clip. Mark calls out Reg(dark hair) for drinking his juice. Dave and Mark are the one's that could never get along I believe. It's always the red-head......

Reg is the one that looks a little bit like Adrien Brody.

If I had a time machine ("… and I know that I do not") and the casting for the unlikely-to-ever-be-filmed biopic of the Chameleons were left up to me ("… and I know that it has not"), the role of "Reg" would likely be played by Adrien Brody. Unless anyone has any better ideas.





As far as the rest of the band, the unlikely-to-ever-be-hired director of casting has confided to me that the rest of the band is still a wide open search. So … who would you all cast as the rest of the band?

Mark Burgess:



Treat Williams?

Nah. Probably a reach.

i don't know whether to youtube mark burgess or the chameleons anymore, both bands excite me way past the early dawn.

After watching this video today of Mark and some other kids doing Chameleons songs at KEXP in Seattle, I think Kay's Treat Williams casting may be pretty right on.

Damn, I'd love to see that band do a reunion tour and play Strange Times in its entirety....

It was up long enough for me to plaster it as wallpaper across all the computer screens in the internet cafe break room with the computers in it at work. Then it wasn't available later than day when I went back to the site to snag it for my own self.

It's been unavailable for weeks.

It is available again. No knowing how long. I think it might have been an even bigger file at one point.

Huge?

Printable?

Chameleons-related?

Free?

Fire up those delay pedals ... pedals ...... pedals .........pedals.
