The Bands High Plains Drifter is an original groove/funk and world-beat ensemble whose live performances have been captivating audiences across Atlantic Canada. Showcasing funk, jazz fusion, and Afro-Cuban rhythms, High Plains Drifter's original material displays an innovative blend of such influences, creating a highly infectious and danceable genre all their own. The Chameleon Project is an electronic jazz quartet using every weapon in their sonic arsenal. Jazz, jungle, disco, funk, dub, reggae, techno or breaks…it’s all about a groove. What keeps it engaging is improvisation. It keeps changing, never stops. It’s at the heart of all great music…and it’s in the DNA of the members of the Chameleon Project. The band has tuned into the growing audience that appreciates a wide range of improvised styles from classic straight ahead jazz to the propulsive rhythms of electronic music. It is the aim of The Chameleon Project, and their newly formed label Reptile Vision Records, to do their part in taking jazz and electronic music in new directions. Each show on the tour will be complete evening of music and entertainment featuring sets by each band with and featuring local guest DJ’s spinning great grooves before the show and during the breaks.

The result will be an event that is a success for the venue, the audience and the bands.

The Chameleon Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Well. We've been discussing the possibility of an Otta,a show. We'd like to hit that town up. I think Jaydawg is in Ottawa for the Big Summer Classic today so things may be getting finalized. Your help, suggestions or thoughts on an Ottawa show would be appriciated, Boouche.

bouche Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 The only suggestion that comes to mind at the moment is to stay away from booking sunday - thursday, unless there is a holiday following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Some dates are still available for booking. Just legitimately curious, not trying to be an ass here, but are there any dates booked? Because all I see is Evolve and CTMF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chameleon Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 There are other dates booked, some beeing worked out and details being finalized. We just needed to get out a press-relase to start the ball rolling. If we waited until we had all dates confirmed the whole thing would have been last minute.Once everything is finalized there will be a proper posting announcing all dates involved.
