“It was an intimidating show.” King Crimson bassist Tony Levin recalls the only gig ever played by Mothers Of Invention spin-off band Aha, The Attack Of The Green Slimebeast, with a dance troupe, a body-painted Danny DeVito and an audience of two people

Tony Levin.

One of the world's most highly-regarded bassists, Tony Levin is best known for his work with King Crimson and Peter Gabriel, and is also a member of Liquid Tension Experiment (alongside Dream Theater men John Petrucci, Mike Portony and Jordan Rudess) and King Crimson-offshoot supergroup Beat, alongside Adrian Belew, Steve Vai and Tool's Danny Carey, who're playing gigs performing music recorded by King Crimson in the '80s.

In a new interview with popular YouTube personality Rick Beato, Levin talks about his introduction to the music business in the late 1960s, and shares his memories of one of his oddest gigs, the only show ever played by the short-lived New York-based experimental rock band Aha, The Attack Of The Green Slimebeast.
