SUMMARY:Halifax Goth Festival: Chameleons + Korinthians
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2nd Halifax Goth Festival 13th to 15th Feb. \n\n\n\nAs part of the Halifax Goth Festival. Taking place in candlelit Halifax Minster. Bar in the church. Mostly seated/first in = best view/pew.The legacy of The Chameleons dates all the way back to 1981 when the band were discovered by the legendary BBC Radio host John Peel. Following their debut single ‘In Shreds’ for Epic Records in 1982\, the band released three seminal albums: the widely acclaimed ‘Script of the Bridge’ (1983)\, cited bymany sources to be a masterpiece way ahead of its time\, its follow up ‘What Does Anything Mean? Basically!’ (1984) and for the US based Geffen Records ‘Strange Times’ (1986). Their unique sound quickly captivated the public through their very own mix of melancholic\, yet energetic and powerful tunes\, hypnotic ethereal riffs and the potent\, timeless lyrical style. The Chameleons are considered to beone of the most influential guitar bands of the 80s and 90s\, contributing substantially to the post-punk\,shoegaze and indie scenes and are often regarded as one of the most underrated bands ever to emerge from the city of Manchester England.The Chameleons disbanded in 1987 only to re-emerge in 2000 with the independently released\, ‘Why Call It Anything’ and toured widely across Europe and the United States. However following the tragic death of their drummer\, John Lever\, and the departure of another founding member guitarist\, Dave Fielding\, the group disbanded once more. The Chameleons reformed in 2021 with surviving founders and principle writers: guitarist Reg Smithies and bassist\, vocalist & lyricist Mark Burgess\, joined byguitarist Stephen Rice\, Danny Ashberry on keyboards and on drums Todd Demma.Over the decades the popularity and reputation of the band continued to grow leading them to share the stage with the likes of U2\, Killing Joke\, Bauhaus\, Simple Minds\, Talk Talk\, The Cure amongst others. The Chameleons regard themselves primarily as a ‘live band’\, which has earned the fan’s loyalty and respectfor decades with ther effortlessly intense and emotionally-charged performances. They have been touring extensively in the EU\, UK\, US and as far abroad as Australia\, South America and China.The Chameleons are excited to announce the release of their first new single in over a decade: ‘Where Are You’ coming out on May 24th on Metropolis Records in conjunction with ‘Strange TimesEntertainment.“We are thrilled to be working on our brand new album titled ‘Arctic Moon’ coming out later this year. We’ ve been working extremely hard and we’re really proud of the results so far. We all feel it’s the best work we’ve done so far. Fans might have the chance to hear some of the new songs on the upcomingtour in the United States\, Europe\, Australia and South America. \n\n\n\nKORINTHIANS is a postpunk quartet from Ghent\, Belgium\, characterized by some as “doom disco” or “new-romantic darkwave”. They are inspired by artists such as Goose\, Mogwai\, Linea Aspera\, Kaelan Mikla\, The Soft Moon\, Boytronic\, M83\, Actors\, Kite\, Agent Side Grinder and Boy Harsher. \n\n\n\n“KORINTHIANS seamlessly weave together a melodious mosaic of the sublime and the melancholic\, utilizingeeriesynths andemotivevocals. The tunes are catchy enough to propel you into the kinetic energy of the dance floor with their airy and spacious aura\, yet they do not shy away from conveying a sense of vaguely ominous urgency.” –Postpunk.com “Firmly rooted in the ’80s Post-Punk and New Wave\, the guitar-driven sound for dark hearts from the quartet\, at times heightened by evocative synth sweeps\, recall somehow the resonant noirish romanticism of Interpol and Editors and even the bombastic tones of early Radiohead and Arcade Fire.” –WhiteLight//WhiteHeat“No Future” is an ecstatic blast of synth melodies and rock ‘n roll energy. It exemplifies the band’s sound\, which they describe as a post-wave blend of ’80s melancholy and ’90s anger. –Synthpop FanaticAbout A Major Walk: “An applaudable [second album]for a band that has definitely changed pace\, and that fully deserves to reap the fruits of the great work done for such an exciting album\, capable of captivating more and more listen after listen. From here on\, it is legitimate and proper for KORÌNTHIANSto aim high\, because the potential is truly great and\, with this spirit\, one can swear that the best is yet to come. Not to be missed.”–Darkroom Magazine \n\n\n\nStrong support comes from Belgium’s Korinthians.Tickets: £34 adv. members £33. from the bar or Seetickets
