The Levellers, known for their passionate and energetic live performances, are taking over the legendary Paradiso in Amsterdam this Wednesday. Online-concert-channel Fabchannel will webcast the English rock veterans’ live show for viewing around the world.
The webcasts will start at 19.30 (GMT) here. The Levellers have two support acts for their show, which will also be webcasted. British Folk singer Frank Turner will kick off at 18.15, while Dutch folk-duo Pigmeat, who have announced their farewell tour, will play at 18.45.
A few days after the live show, the entire recording will be included to Fabchannel’s online video archive. So should you somehow miss the live webcasts, you will still be able to watch the shows later on in the archive – as well as many more recorded gigs.

What’s the story behind the name?
M: Simply put, it’s the title of a song from a long lost band, who were gigging friends a few Summers ago!! Read more
Jess Morgan entrances us on MusicRiot Presents… podcast episode 6, and so we thought it was a good idea to find a bit more about the woman behind the voice.
Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Now let me see… I was born and grew up in Norfolk. I’m a huge fan of the countryside and the coast which Is why i suppose, things didnt work out so well for me in London this year. I moved to the big city after graduating to try to gig as much as possible and make a name for myself.
I did play a lot of gigs and think it came to about 60 gigs from October to October. I’m a hard worker and I’m always writing wherever I go. I’ve moved back to Norwich now and intend to try to build a solid following of likeminded people whilst still keeping links with London and other regions.
How long have you been making music?
I began playing and singing at uni in York. There was a cool little open-mic night every other Thursday and eventually i did pluck up the courage to go and play a song. The support i found while I was at university was tremendous and i couldn’t imagine a better start or more supportive people to be around. Read more

Our fave Cassette Electrik release the video for their 28 days EP. And here it is in all its glory!
28 Days from flippers on Vimeo.
Muse have warned their fans not to expect a new album anytime soon, despite previously revealing that they have plenty of songs ready for it.
Having previously said they were heading to Italy to write new material, they now say they are a long way off from actually beginning the recording process.
Bassist Chris Wolstenholme told BBC 6music, “There’s about six or seven songs that we’ve started work on, but they’re still very young. I don’t think there’s anything that we’re ready to record yet.”
“We just wanted to get started this year, to get the ball rolling a little bit rather than wait for a year doing nothing then get in the studio, and go, ‘What do we do now?’.
“Sometimes you can suffer from having too much time off.”
The band’s last studio album, ‘Black Holes And Revelations’, was released in July 2006.
As we are fast approaching the launch of MusicRiot favourite Cassette Electrik’s latest single, we are jumping over to their official blog to find out more about the song, the gig prep, and many other things. Here is the first entry.
Much as it would be fun to say that this song was an ode to some apocalyptic zombie film I can assure you that no salivating undead types were used in the making of this song…
Instead 28 Days was written about one of those times when the actions you would like to take are, for one reason or another, not possible and as such passions build up all the more so for it. I’m coming to realise that quite a few of my songs seem to be about moment such as these – time of stasis (if I’m going to sound pretentious I may as well do it properly) when everything and nothing is possible, when possibilities are hanging in the air just out of reach and you have a feeling that if you don’t act to make something happen, the moment will probably disappear.
