The Shaking Ray Levis appeared with Derek Bailey at NYC's TONIC on April 12, 2003, in the third of a series of performances by the British guitarist and accompanying artists (he performed with Ikue Mori and Cyro Baptista on the 10th and 11th, respectively). The Shaking Ray Levis have also performed with Derek Bailey on numerous other occasions; the new Shaking Ray Records release Live at Lamar's documents one such performance.

April 2003's performance was reviewed by The Squid's Ear, "a NYC music magazine covering improvisational, avant, and experimental music from around the world." According to the review, Bailey's performance with the Shaking Ray Levis was "the most overtly ensemble playing of the three nights." The review, which was published online, can be found here, in the Squid's Ear archives.
