“Wish”, Cowboys International

Here is another lesser known band that Keith Levene had a hand in creating. That's his guitar work on this song. 

The Original Sin actually garnered a rave review from Rolling Stone's David Fricke and was included as number 11 on Melody Maker's Best Albums of 1979 list along side The Clash's London Calling, Talking Heads' Fear of Music and Elvis Costello's Armed Forces. "Here Comes A Saturday", the album's official single became a minor hit in the United States and "Thrash" and "Pointy Shoes" were staples of the New York City club scene. Still, the loose collective of a band didn't stick together and The Original Sin went out of print for over two decades.

The band comprised originally Ken Lockie (vocals), Keith Levene (guitar), Jimmy Hughes (bass), Evan Charles (piano) and Terry Chimes (drums). Almost all of the members had previous experience in the music business: Levene had played in an early version of The Clash and had recorded one album with Public Image Ltd, First Issue; Hughes had played in The Banned; and Chimes had been the drummer of The Clash. Levene only played on the album's final track, probably as guest, because on the rest of the album only Rick Jacks, who probably replaced him, played guitar.

Six months after the release of the album, only keyboardist Evan Charles and singer Ken Lockie remained from the lineup. The replacements had also some experience in music; Hughes got replaced by Lee Robinson, Boney M.'s studio musician, Chimes by Paul Simon, drummer with Neo and Radio Stars, and Rick Jacks by Allan Rawlings, Marco Pirroni and Stevie Shears. The band lasted until 1980.
