As a Pennsylvanian, I was really pumped to hear that this awesome lineup was coming to a nearby venue. I would have preferred "Crocodile Rock" for those of you who know it, but anyway...
The Chameleon Club was VERY small-- maybe 200 people could crowd into the main stage area. But it was nice and grungy and had an underground feel. Unfortunately, this translated to sub-par acoustics, and the microphones didn't sound great at any point during the night. Otherwise the concert area was fine-- small but intimate, and enough room for people to get up close by the fence, enough room for a stupid hardcore-karate dancing pit, and enough room to sit back a bit and take in the atmosphere.
First off, TWBD was replaced by The World We Knew, described as "Long Island's metalcore powerhouse." TWWK played breakdown-heavy music with a few catchy riffs, but these guitar riffs were often fully over-shadowed by the constant double-bass-peddling. The vocal quality was low, as almost everything sounded like a howling, pig-squeal-esque sound. Overall 5/10.
Then came Born of Osiris, who impressed the crowd with technically stunning riffery, excellent stage presence (fun, exciting, and energetic), and heavy breakdowns. The vocal quality improved as they played, and one could faintly hear the keyboard if they weren't too busy headbanging. Overall 7/10
Winds of Plague were definitely the most popular of the early acts, and they were a ton of fun. Kristen Randall and Johnny Plague provide more than enough charisma for 5 bands. Their setlist was questionable in my opinion, but they had some punishing breakdowns and had a lot of fun with the crowd. Vocal quality dipped back to semi-clear growls, but still very-distorded howling-screeching higher vocals-- I only say this because I know how WoP vocals SHOULD sound, and the vox were slightly off. Overall: 7/10
THEN CAME CHIMAIRA. With excellent stage presence, top-notch sound quality (vocals and all), they were lengths above the other bands that night. Their heavy songs truly carried quite well in the intimate venue, and frontman Marc Hunter had no trouble getting the crowd moving and moshing and headbanging at 110% percent. Overall: 8.5/10
