Lori And The Chameleons

Lori And The Chameleons was a short-lived New Wave band that existed during 1979 and 1980. Formed in Liverpool by ex-Big In Japan's Bill Drummond (guitar) and David Balfe (bass, keyboards), and the singer Lori Larty, they combined synthpop, post-punk, dark and indie styles in their songs.

Shortly before, Drummond and Balfe dissolved the art-punk band Big In Japan, so they decided to form a new project called The Chameleons. In that new band, they wanted to explore their musical likes and show their creativity.

Drummond and Balfe recorded their materials in their Zoo Records label, founded by them in 1978 when they went to record part of their Big In Japan EP, From Y To Z And Never Again, before that band broke up.

Lori And The Chameleons only released three singles (see Discography) in 1979 and 1980, and they broke up. Larty went to art school, while Balfe and Drummond began to work with The Teardrop Explodes, as keyboardist and manager, respectively.
