Episode 148 - Mike Lindup of Level 42




The Hustle show

Summary: <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In the states, Level 42 may only be seen as two-hit-wonders thanks to the massive success of "Something About You' and "Lessons in Love" in the mid-80s. But around the rest of the world, Level 42 were viewed as a seriously complex group merging funk, r&amp;b, jazz and rock in ways few others have ever done. Founding members bassist Mark King and keyboardist Mike Lindup finally closed up shop in the mid-90s, but reunited in 2006 and have steadily toured the world ever since. In this deep chat, Mike and I go over the band's history, the stories behind some of their songs, his excellent, but under-heard solo album, and what he's up to now. There's also a hilarious Bill Murray story at the end. On a personal note, this is a big one for me as Mike owns my all-time favorite singing voice.</span></p><br> <p> </p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://mikelindup.com/" target="_blank">https://mikelindup.com/</a></span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.level42.com/" target="_blank">https://www.level42.com/</a></span></p>
