The King Chameleon at The Canteen
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Free entry! Dilla-worthy breaks, grooves and languid guitar lines bumping together in a dusty atmosphere of downbeat jazz-funk / boom-bap soul-stirrers. Guaranteed blunted beauty inside FFO: Surprise Chef, Khruangbin, BADBADNOTGOOD, The Heliocentrics."

Free entry!

The King Chameleon is a fusion jazz group inspired and personified by a range of styles, sounds and concepts. Founded upon the lofi beats of producer Vivek Varia, this newly formed band seeks to both maintain and expand such sounds into the realms of experimentation and improvisation. Following success through editorial playlist placements on both Spotify and Apple Music, as well as being scouted by A&R Apple Music subsidiary Platoon, the group have recently released their debut EP “Forever”, a journey of sounds from disco and house (Forever) to samba and bossa nova (Sad Dream), rnb and dub (Dreaming of You) & psychedelic rock (Underwater). This release, alongside their debut live session at Bristol’s Jam Jar, demonstrates the grandiose of their desire for sonical freedom, as well as their chemistry and individual talent as musicians.

Entry requirements: 18+
