Nice, great to see the Chris' pouring. Does this mean that the vinyl release will be a blingin' affair?
I hope so I'll do my best and weave some gold leaf into my dreads.
Big Ballin' yall. Pimipin' ain't easy.
I hope the dancefloor at the El Mocambo looks like this.

April 30th@ The Pepper Jack Cafe, Hamilton: Contact w/ The Chameleon Project
Fusing the energy of rock, dub, break-beat, and house music into improvised live and recorded performances, CONTACT is a band on the cusp of an emerging genre of music, assailling bored dance floors with irresistible beats and unforgettable hooks.
Jazz, jungle, disco, funk, dub, techno…it’s all about groove.
What keeps it engaging is improvisation. It keeps changing. It never stops. It’s at the heart of all great music…and it’s in the DNA of the members of the Chameleon Project (CP).
Should be a wicked show in the hammer, look forward to it.

Don't know about the whole caps thing, I guess I never really thought about it. Far too busy. I'll tone it down for ya'

While interesting this rumor is totally false. The drummer for the Chameleon Project has always been and is Tyrone Caissie. A kick ass jazz drummer from Toronto, who listens to a lot of jungle, and plays those breaks.

Yes I understand that ther is and will probably be some confusion with the band Chameleon out of Victoria Bc and the Chameleon Project out of Toronto.
The two bands are entirely unrelated and when I formed the Chameleon Project in 2002 I had no idea that Chameleon in Victoria even existed.
What type of music does Chameleon play?
