With over 900 interviews, this podcast offers a welcoming environment for artists to discuss their politics, social insights, and artistic perspectives. This podcast offers an authentic experience, inviting you to tune in to conversations with luminaries from across the spectrum of musician-based music, including pop, rock, hard rock, heavy metal, and extreme metal.
Level 42 frontman and legendary bassist/ vocalist Mark King reflects on the band's golden era, deep album cuts, and the creative dynamic with founding members Boon Gould and Phil Gould. Plus, Mark talks about working with Allan Holdsworth; he touches on the legacy of his iconic Status Graphite basses. Far too short, but plenty of gold for Mark King fans.
A special note to the show's dedicated listeners. I always said that if I got a chat with Mark King, I'd post it. So here it is! Unfortunately, the show isn't coming back, not yet anyway, but you never know what the future holds. God bless you all!
