Eight Gigs: the Chameleons
Sun., Sept. 20, 7 p.m., Third Space Art Collective, $13-$15
This show features Mark Burgess (vocals and bass) and friends, all better known as the Chameleons, who unceremoniously broke up after the untimely death of their manager, Tony Fletcher, in 1987. Burgess and current backing band are back again, despite more than a couple of starts and stops with previous founding members. Expect to hear music from the group's magnificent back catalog including Strange Times (1986), What Does Anything Mean? Basically (1985) and the entire Script of the Bridge (1983) classic. Also on the bill are Soft Kill, Electro Group and All About Rockets. 946 Olive Drive in Davis, www.thechameleons.com.
