Levy – Rotten Love/ You Be Sweet

LEVY is a four piece band out of NYC that formed in September 2003. James Levy, singer/songwriter of the group, started out solo, playing gigs at the Sidewalk in the cityís Lower East Village. He was part of the scene that came to be known as the ìanti-folk movementî which included Moldy Peaches (Adam Greene), Kimya Woods, Regina Spektor and others that were quickly scooped up by the music industry.

It was in a Lower East Village bar that James struck up a conversation with guitar player, Matt Siskin about giving up the solo life and starting a group. 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.

LEVYís 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.
