Keith Levene is a British guitarist and songwriter, probably best known as a member of Public Image Limited.

Levene would later claim he had written or co-written several other songs on the same record.
Public Image Ltd. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2156 words)
Lydon also launched an effort to locate guitarist Keith Levene (né Julian Levene), whom he had met on tour in mid-1976 while Levene was a member of The Clash.
Levene was a very small, skinny person, of the sort that one thinks of as 'runty.' Jah Wobble, for his part, was among the rarest of sensitive art-musicians and world-music aficionados in that his habits included assault and battery, setting people on fire, and hurling televisions out of hotel windows.
Levene had by then largely abandoned guitar in favor of synthesizer, picking up a technique that was nearly unique, although perhaps owing a debt to Allen Ravenstine of Pere Ubu.
