[kj] OT - John Lever Former Chameleons Drummer has died.

[fatpotanga .]

I only ever got to see them once at the Ritz c2001 and it was mesmerising,
although you could see the cracks starting to show by the whithered looks
from Mark to Dave.
As far as I know, that's only where the bad blood runs? In his
autobiography he talks fondly of Reg.
Like you say, be interesting to see what happens. Death can be a great
healer as Camp KJ can attest.

As for reunions, never say never; look at KJ. Marks long time collaborator
Yves Altana stepped in on drums for ChameleonsVox. About 10 years back Yves
engineered and produced a demo for an old band I was in at Martin
'Can-you-dig-it' Coogans studio, Vibe. Nice guy, and great company. really
passionate, in a Mad Corsican kind of way. HUGE killing joke fan.
