Emplacement

Get ready to embrace the '80s once more as the Karma Kameleons take us on a rad ride with beats and fashion to dress up your day at the mountain! Gnarly!
Karma Kameleons
In 1981, the Karma Kameleons disappeared during a triumphant show at New York's Madison Square Garden. A short circuit is said to have thrown them 25 years into the future. Since then, they've been clamouring for the credit they deserve for those unmissable hits you know from Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, Def Leppard, and all the others, friends of the Karma Kameleons who borrowed their hits during their "absence". Memories and delights are guaranteed!
For over 15 years, the "Karma Kameleons" phenomenon has thrilled thousands of Quebecers with the sound of hits that marked the 80s. The band constantly renews itself, boasting a wide repertoire of sweet hits à la Rick Astley or rock à la AC/DC. The result is a joyful, danceable show like no other. A repertoire chosen to remind you of the best moments of the '80s and get you dancing!
