Release Notes:
LEVY, a band that came out of NYC and formed in
September 2003.
"James Levy the heart of the group, a young
balladeer and writer of all the songs and music,
started out solo, playing gigs at the Sidewalk in
the cityÆs East Village.
James was part of the scene that came to be known as
the ôanti-folk movementö which included Moldy
Peaches Adam Green and Kimya Dawson, Regina Spektor
and others that were quickly scooped up by the music
industry."
LEVY had a quick rise up NYC music scene elite,
playing gigs with national bands - Athlete,
Razorlight, Adam Green, Regina Spektor, Gene Dreamy,
Gary Sincere and The Zutons. LEVYÆs buzz spread
across the city and they became darlings of the
hipster clubs. This street cred landed them local
press and interest soon spread across the bridges
and out of town. LEVYÆs music was tipped on
internet-blog Podcaster playlists: from NYC, up to
Canada, back down to Texas, over in Japan, on web
radio in France, making personal ôbestö lists or
artists of the month. They were all over the bespoke
internet like hand-done embroidery. Podcasters
around The States û Chicago now, then LA, San Diego
catching up - were podcasting LEVY's music before
podcasters became the in thing. That started back in
January, at the same time as ôRelevantö magazine
selected LEVY in its music edition as a ôband to
watchö for in 2005. LEVYÆs track ôOn the Dance
Floorö can be heard in Scottie MarshallÆs feature
film ôLucky 13ö and ôRivkaö can be heard in the
French Canadian young adult drama ôLove 15ö, which
airs in France, Canada and Quebec.
ôLEVY follows in the great tradition of turning
heartbreak into perfect two-minute pop songs."
Tripwire
'Anyone who has a soft spot (possibly hidden under a
cardigan) for orange juice or The Fieldmice will be
charmed by their C86-like lo- fi pop sweetness and
everybody else will just love their catchy-but-nasty
combination of gorgeous tunes and bitter lyrics.
Tasty'- Lauren Laverne, XFM Radio UK
'James Levy is an intriguing songwriter'- Time Out
'They can easily play in the backyard with the
stalwarts of New York's vitalized post punk scene'-
