Oh yeah, once again it is time to adjust your calendars to fit in a few

The 411 from The Chameleon is as follows:
Upcoming Events - February 8th, 2000
SATURDAY FEBRUARY 12TH- NAMEDROPPER
Broaden your musical horizons with this local, highly experimental quartet.
Jazz meshes with hip-hop, that melds into drum and bass, that finds it's way
back to acid jazz again. If you are confused, then you must come down and
see what all of the talk is about. Ex-members of Vancouver band Salvador
Dream form the base of Namedropper with some fresh blood in the mix for good
measure. Challenge what you know and check out Namedropper.
Cover $7 Doors at 9pm.
