Subject: Chameleons UK
Another great concert here at UMass - Chameleons UK with Nova Mob opening. Now, I didn't know too much about the Chameleons before the show besides having heard the album once or twice and owning one of the songs on tape somewhere, but I was converted. They played extremely well, with the sound being sharper and clearer than any small club show I've seen. It was a good thing too, because the musicianship was real solid, not like some bands who make up for lack of talent with enthusiasm and volume. They were loud all right, but you could still hear each note distinct and separate. Praise must go to the rhythm section for being real tight. As a friend put it, "They're a great band to play air drums too". So, if the Chameleons are playing your local bar or college campus, check them out, they're quite good. (and hey, only $2 admission -- can you beat that?) --- Jon Drukman
