aKING

“aKING, through their intricately-spun stories of suburban survivalism, give profundity to blue collar life in a South African context. It doesn’t hurt that they’re brilliant at it.” Xavier vd Sandt, Cape Town Independent Newspapers

The album was enthusiastically received by fans as well as critics, and the first single, title track  “Against all Odds” was playlisted on 5FM, Highveld Stereo, KFM, OFM, East Coast Radio, JacarandaFM, Red Cap Radio and campus radio stations nationwide, reaching various # 1 positions on national charts.

CHRIS CHAMELEON : Sold out shows in prestigious theatres in the Netherlands.

Chris Chameleon is back in South Africa after a very successful solo tour in the Netherlands, Belgium and London. (14 October – 15 November.)

Chris`s theatre-tour in the Netherlands was a huge success. The Theater Tour was organised by Kik Productions (http://www.kikproductions.nl/) based in Utrecht. These theatres are all well known in the Dutch entertainment–industry and it was a remarkable cultural achievement in itself that Chris Chameleon was invited to do a solo Theater Tour. Most of the shows were sold out or close to capacity. Chris Chameleon is now without a doubt as big a star in the Netherlands as he is in South Africa.
