We knew that Mark Burgess of famed post-punk outfit The Chameleons would be bringing his ChameleonsVOX project to North America for a tour this fall, playing 1983’s The Script of the Bridge in full, and now we have details. Dates have shifted around a bit and the NYC show will be happening October 8 at The Wick, the last date of the tour. It’s quite a lineup too, with goth punks Anasazi, Cleveland’s Pleasure Leftists, Portugese language hardcore act La Misma, and post-punkers Survival (not Hunter Hunt-Hendrix from Liturgy’s other band with the same name). Tickets for The Wick show are on sale now.

While this is being billed as a “Farewell Tour,” Mark says he’ll continue to play shows here and there, but this will be his last major tour. All dates are listed, along with a YouTube stream of Script of the Bridge, below.

Pleasure Leftists, who are also opening for ChameleonsVOX in Columbus and Baltimore (and maybe others?), are also finally ready to follow their impressive EPs with their first full length, The Woods of Heaven. It’s due this August via Deranged, which also put out their 2013 self-titled EP and early releases from White Lung, Fucked Up and more. First single “You You” is up that same alley of driving post-punk/deathrock as their EPs, as you can hear below. They’re doing a run of headlining shows in August too, and those dates are also listed below.
