Level 42 Experience is a 4-piece band led by a WOMAN bassist. The band is barely distinguishable from the real Level 42. Besides a number of big hits they also play old work by Level 42 in which the bass guitar is central.

LEVEL 42 Experience:
The English funk band Level 42, with singer/bassist Mark King, inspired L'dia On Bass to start playing bass guitar. She soon mastered the special 'slap technique' (hitting the bass strings with her thumb) and formed a number of bands where she performed as bassist/singer throughout the Netherlands.
She worked with Toots Tielemans, Marcus Miller, Victor Bailey, Trijntje Oosterhuis, Shirma Rousse, Berget Lewis and Edsilia Rombley, among others. She had coffee with Larry Graham (the slap pioneer), became known on YouTube (3 mljn. views, which earned her a Fender endorsement, among other things).
With a cracking career as a musician, it is now time (again) to honor her old heroes. She formed her "nostalgia" band Level 42 Experience with her friends/musicians, who also earned their spurs in the likes of Twarres, Hans Dulfer, Clanned, Toots Tielemans, Marcus Miller, Fox the Fox, Turks Fruit, and many more. All these guys share the same Level 42 passion. Because of great individual pressure, they put Level 42 Experience on the back burner, but now it's starting to itch again and they're going all out again. The love for the music!
