the Chameleons UK

The Chameleons were are rather little known manchester alternative/indie band of the early 80s who were on Statik Records label which has long since dissapeared. But they have reunited and put forth a new(er) album in 2002. Evidently though their popularity is increasing these days but for some reason they are indentified as a "Goth" band, and nearly all indie people don't seem to know who they are. So does anybody else here listen to them?

I don't know if I'm part of "the indie people", but I don't know who they are... though I've heard their name before I guess... probably seen it on allmusic...

I know who they are, but I only have one song on a goth compilation. no, indie people wouldn't know them at all. the goth crowd would because the band have a lot of songs on different goth compilations.

but I am a bigger fan of Red Lorry Yellow Lorry.

Re: Chameleons UK

Other than being gloomy and melancholic I've never been sure why the Chameleons are considered to be a "Goth" band. If you want to be precise they were/are a post-punk 80s alternative rock band with similar musical roots as Joy Division. I should also like to point out that Joy Division + Siouxie and the Banshees are regarded as classic goth bands but they are also widely listened to by the indie crowd. I suppose an example of an exclusively "goth" band from that era would be the Sisters of Mercy and Sex Gang Children.
