CitySites Interview With Andrew Levy

By James Cowart.

Hi Andrew, Thanks for taking time-out from your busy schedule to talk with me. Andrew : It's my pleasure. James : As a bassist, who were your influences? Andrew : I think that it all started with James Brown and Miles Davis. They really influenced me at a young age. That is when I picked up my first instrument, the bassoon. James : What is one of the earliest memories with the original "Heavies" crew - (you and Jan Kincaid and Simon Bartholomew)? Andrew : When we first started playing together, we used to jam a lot in our own bedrooms. After a couple of those "Bedroom Jams" we just knew it was meant to be, and then everything just happened. James : Tell me about the period between the new album "Shelter" and the previous album? Andrew : Maturity, we definitely matured. We learned a lot about arrangements, melodies and structures. James : You seem really enthusiastic about how thing are going with the new album "Shelter". Did positive change occur with the addition of Siedah Barrett? Andrew : Well Siedah stepped into the studio and we recorded a track in one day. Immediately, we all knew that this could really, really happen. James : How do you feel about the bands you are playing with at the Smokin Grooves Tour? Andrew : Well, we are playing with a great bill. I'm really enthusiastic about the bands we are playing with. But, we are definitely going to be the funkiest band on Tour. James : If you weren't a musician Andrew, what would you be doing? Andrew : Well, (laughing), I went to college for five years, and I'd like to go back. I want to be an Architect. I've always been interested in achitecture. After all, I don't want to jump around on stage the rest of my life. James : Are you familiar with the Internet? Andrew : We all have our own websites, so we're definitely internet friendly. James : Thanks again for taking time-out Andrew. Any last words for your fans? Andrew : World - get ready for some serious funk.
