Chris Chameleon – The Year Ahead

2010 has thus far been a busy year for the prolific Chameleon. In February he recorded a new BOO! album in Amsterdam, the first since 2003, to be released later in the year. The recording saw him and former BOO! bandmate Ampie Omo joining creative forces once  again, and Chameleon, Omo and Riaan van Rensburg (on drums) recently blew Ramfest festivalgoers  away with what was BOO!’s first on-stage performance in five years.  Chris was recently seen portraying the role of doctor-turned-lawyer Thomas Badenhorst on M-Net TV programme Binnelanders,  with his character returning to the screen later in the year.

In August, Chris Chameleon and his BOO! band mates will be touring the much-anticipated album in South Africa as well as Europe, and in October and November Chris will be back on the theatre stages of Belgium and The Netherlands, with plans to release another Afrikaans album at the end of 2010 or first half of 2011.
