When music fans hear the name Level 42 they immediately think of the enormously powerful, lightning-fast bass guitar playing of bandleader and singer Mark King. His slapping technique caused a sensation in the 1980s and the English band became a veritable hit machine. Who doesn’t know songs like Lessons In Love, Something About You and Running In The Family? From the very beginning, Level 42 was spectacular on stage. After guitarist Alan Murphy died from complications of AIDS in 1989, the band resumed working until it finally disbanded in 1994. But since their 2001 comeback, Level 42 have once more been touring the world. King is still the heart of the band, together with keyboardist and singer Mike Lindup, who returned in 2006 after a long absence. Level 42 released their most recent album Sirens two years ago.
