Pop Levi is now a Los Angeles resident after re-locating from England. He was born in London, started his musical career in Liverpool and toured for 3 years as Ladytron’s bass player before he fell in love with Los Angeles and promptly moved his band out here. Steering away from the electro side of Ladytron, Pop’s solo stuff recalls more T-Rex and Ziggy Stardust era glam rock. He released the EP “Blue Honey” and the full length “Return to Form Black Magick Party” over the past couple years on Ninja Tune Records to some critical acclaim. Recently, he has come out with his latest full length offering “Never Never Love”.
A couple weeks ago, Pop Levi performed at The Echo’s regular Friday night event “Club Underground” alongside Spaceland Recordings alumn The Parson Red Heads. Brendan and ManiaTV were there again to take you inside the club for some live performances of the songs “Call the Operator”, “Semi-Babe” and “Sugar Assault Me Now”. Brendan also chats with the man about the age of Itunes, being English in LA and an improptu re-enactment of the Last Supper at neighboring French restaurant Taix. Watch Episode 4 of “At the Show”
We’re also pleased to make an exclusive live download of “Sugar Assault Me Now” available here at RCRDLBL.
Until next time,
Dane
