Chimera were a Northern Irish alternative rock band[1] that saw brief, but notable fame in the mid-nineties.

Chimera was formed in 1990 and included members Eileen Henry (vocals), Steven T. Emerson (bass), Ted Laverty (guitars), and William Vincent (drums).

In 1993, Chimera released their first U.K. album, Lughnasa, but later had to buy back all of the copies due to contractual problems.

Nagle had previously worked with bands such as Echo & the Bunnymen, Joy Division, New Order, and the Smiths.

They performed with many popular alternative bands, including the Sneaker Pimps, Blur, the Pixies, and Throwing Muses.
