Going to see The Levellers at Shepherds Bush Empire tomorrow night ... seen them many times before and it's always a great gig.

They are being supported by Sonic Boom Six ... I've not come across them before ... anyone seen / heard them?

Cant help but laugh whenever I hear "One Way"........all those crustys dressed exactly the same chanting along and telling us how the one way of life is your own.

Levellers are a great live band, my mate is the keyboardist for them now...used to play Garthie on "Birds of a Feather".....give him a wave.

Yeah, Clem ....... but that was 20 years ago now!

Always loved doing Levellers gigs .........loads of moshing at their 'proper' gigs and also at the many festivals they play, including the festy they run themselves near Exeter every August, "Beautiful Days".

These days they take a lot of good unknown bands and musicians under their wing, and give them a platform to get to a wider audience.

Gig was terrific as always ... but look out for the support band, Sonic Boom Six, great mix of reggae, rap and punk ... will be buying some of their stuff today.
