Post The Clash & Public Image Ltd Keith Levene's Release Aztek Dubo

http://themissingchannel.com


KEITH LEVENE is a gifted individual who has always been captivated by the array of possibilities life offers. He can focus simultaneously on vastly varied subjects from applied mathematics, video games, and is a true technocrat as well as a truly amazing creator of music who takes immense pleasure in the music of others. Keiths taste in music is catholic, embracing the entire spectrum. As a toddler, his mother was concerned because her son would stare at records as they went round and round on the turntable. As a teenager, Keith spent eight hours a day practicing guitar. When he formed the Clash with Mick Jones he was so proficient as to be a formidable band-mate. Later, in PiL, he and John [Rotten] Lydon created a marriage between guitar and poetry that has never been reproduced. Tracks such as Theme showcase Keiths innovative expertise. In 2002, with his release of Killer in the Crowd, his direction is clear. He did not disappear or stop making music. In fact, he is now a wicked singer and bassist as well. Keith also plays piano and has two cellists he wants to work with in the near future. New songs flow out of him like a river concurrent with ideas that are more suited to Bell Labs than EMI. Though the business of music has become truly inept and silly, Keith, while pursuing a number of other interests, has tended to write, perform and produce tracks hes enthusiastic about releasing. Still, he considers Commercial Zone an unfinished project. This says it all regarding the thought hes now putting into releasing his music only to have it nabbed, stolen and emulated with no credit. Indies are merely poor relatives of the majors. None of them pay their artists and most execs at the biggies dont even answer their phones. One of those employees told Keith as much in a meeting recently. How do they get anything done? They dont if the rehashing of rehashed material by new bands is any measure of musical standards. Still, Keith remains charmingly young and excited by the world, laughing easily and often. Hes a truly special person whos very successful at life.

This one is cool too - but what happened to the skull video?

@jing479 There is a lot going on behind the scenes at the Missing Channel and Keith is seriously busy with getting material gathered and ready for a new release. 2011 was always set to be the year that Keith did something big. 2010 saw him reunite with Wobble and also some other live events which delayed his next release.

I'm a proud owner of the first Killer in the Crowd ep.

Time for another cd from Keef I fink!
