For anyone who's missed it Level 42 are coming to the US in July.
Tickets for their shows in D.C. (7/22) and NY (7/23) went on sale (Ticketbastard) this morning (3/26) but I'd expect that there will be more dates.
For anyone who hasn't seen MK in action, it's well worth a punt on a ticket as those who have seen him will attest.
Even though most of the set will likely be the more commercial stuff, I'm sure there will some of the older stuff too and even on the poppier stuff his playing, tone and control have to be see to be believed.....and I'm sure there will be at least one bass solo!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to it!

Cheers,

I saw one listing which posted the lineup for the 2010 30th anniversary tour, but no drummer was mentioned. On the official Level 42 website there's a picture of some young guy with a baseball cap twisted around on his head (Level 42 goes gangsta?), so maybe he's the new drummer. Anyway, I was never much of a Gary Husband fan in a Level 42 context - he always seemed to be rushing things. |

Yay! Haven't seen them in years. And the tickets are VERY affordable, too! I'll be at the Anaheim show on July 29th. |

It's a shame Gary Husband won't be joining them for this tour, he's probably busy playing keys for John McLaughlin or something.
