NIELS VAN HOORN is a longstanding member of the English / Dutch cult group The Legendary Pink Dots. Their unusual mixture of electronic psychedelic whimsy and lush textures straight out of Alice In Wonderland have kept them on top of the underground cult music scene for already a quarter of a century. Niels, who always coloured outside the dotted line, reached an important milestone with his first solo album Colours (out in autumn 2002 on Soleilmoon USA). Over the years, Niels has also worked with a wide range of performers: drum & bass outfit Voltage, Dead Voices On Air (Mark Spybey of Zoviet France & Download), The Tear Garden (Edward Ka-Spel and Skinny Puppys Cevin Key), Lydia Lunch, Anubian Lights, Szense a.m.m. Niels plays soprano-, tenor-, bariton- and bass saxophone, bass clarinet, flute, Steiner wind synth and electronics.
RICHARD VAN KRUYSDIJK, a.k.a. Sonar Lodge (with MARIE-CLAUDINE VANVLEMEN), has been sound mining ever deeper since his first drum & bass influenced releases to the jazz-infused trip noir approach on Sonar Lodges recent 12s and CDs. They are both also involved in the new M4S group Music For Speakers Amplified (with Sandor Caron, Raphael Vanoli, Jeroen Kimman (Roomtone), Edward Capel). Various projects brought Richard on stage and in the studio with some influential musicians. Future & current collaborations include BEAM and krautrock impro group Szense. Since 1993, he is also a member of the German industrial band Phallus Dei and it's ambient offspring PHD2. Richard plays drums, keys, laptop and electronics.

One of the most underrated, under-appreciated bands of all time, They should have been up there with U2 and Joy Division
England 1981. Punk war endgültig tot, da überschwemmte schon die nächste Musikwelle die Insel. Post-Punk hieß das Gebot der Stunde und einer der Vorreiter waren The Chameleons.
THE CHAMELEONS waren eine englische Rockband aus dem Umfeld des Post-Punk. The Chameleons wurden 1981 in Middleton/Greater Manchester (England) gegründet. Im Gegensatz zu artverwandten Bands wie U2, Joy Division, Psychedelic Furs oder Echo & The Bunnymen gelang ihnen mit ihren düster-melancholischen, von verhallten Doppel-Gitarren dominierten Songs kein nennenswerter kommerzieller Durchbruch. Dennoch wird ihr 1983er Album-Debüt Script of the Bridge heute zu den wichtigsten Platten des Post-Punk gerechnet. Heute berufen sich Bands wie etwa Interpol oder die Editors auf The Chameleons.
And BUSHART CARRY ON WHERE THE CHAMELEONS ENDED !!!!!
