Secret Shine to support Levy
Tue 22 Jan '08 by Scott
Secret Shine will be supporting Levy at their show at the Bristol Louisiana on January 23rd.
We hope to secure more dates on Levy’s UK tour as well but for now we’re doing the Loui.
For those of you not familiar with the wonderful Brooklyn-based Levy – I stole this from their myspace site (www.myspace.com/levy) with a recommendation from Tim Wheeler of Ash of all people.
“To me levy is the best band out of new york in years, and rotten love was my favourite song of last year and probably this one too… ” – Tim Wheeler, Ash
LEVY is the painstakingly crafted love child of James Levy, an architect of modern New York City mythology whose mark on the world of pop music is merely beginning to be felt. Their new album, Glorious, will be released later this year by One Little Indian to audiences in the UK while they continue to seek a U.S. release. LEVY’s first album, 2005’s murmur pop masterpiece Rotten Love, continues to be one of my favorite albums. How wonderful, then, that James and co. have exited the recording studio with not merely a single new CD but a double CD highlighting both the songs of LEVY the band and James’s alter-ego, YVEL. Where LEVY’s tightly-knitted jangling pop anthems give you reason to dance away your heartbreak, YVEL mines James’s gift for storytelling via a Leonard Cohen-esque figure full of longing and yearning. This album is one of my most loved and most anticipated releases of 2007.
Please come along and see us…and Levy of course!
