Levee did a wonderful piece of work for Nautaki 2003, in making the soundtrack for "The Mirror Has Two Hands". The soundtrack added much colour and grandeur to the play and was well acclaimed by the audiences and guests alike, present for the 2 day event on 7th and 8th of Feb, at the National University of Singapore UCC. Since then, due to popular demand, we have put up some of our songs for Easy listening. Please check our Music page for details.

Another Levee gig @ OOSH! on 29th of Jan. An amazing performance of a cover, followed by some mixture of "magic potions" equivalent worth of originals. This time, as always, Levee presented their talent in whipping out a good mixture of slow, fast, melodious, rocking and funky numbers. All in all, you name it, Levee has it!
And those who missed it, and for the western classical lovers, you should have seen what Levee produced with a Violin incorporation (usually associated with a quartet or an classical ensemble), a number which would have "wow"-ed you all.
Stay posted, and Levee promises to enthrall you all, again and again with much more.
Also Levee was very proud to be alongside two great bands, Frosty Mug and XS. With all of you, it was Art we presented. Lets keep up the good work.
