Title: Mark King and Gizmodrome
Post by: Glynn on March 07, 2018, 04:09:19 PM: Heard a nice radio broadcast in UK this morning on BBC Radio6 Music. The slot is about 9.15am. Mark King (Level 42) and Stewart Copeland (Police) talking about their new band Gizmodrome. It features guitarist from King Crimson and an Italian keyboard player. Great interview. Both very down to earth guys. There is a clip available (Google) a few hours ago from the last of their "warm-up" concerts. This time at London Scala.
Very different (I have the album) but I just really like their honesty at interview.
No arrogance or big time - and they could have!!
Did I say I was going to see Level 42 in Oct at Northampton UK? (I know I did)
See what you think.
