sed removing values

Is there an easy way in sed to remove a character and values
after that character?

Code:

ex:
  blackout_10-11-2011(NODE_LEVEL)
 
 I want to remove '(' and everything after. so I will only have.
 
blackout_10-11-2011
 
I can use a cut command to do this but interested in seeing how its done in sed

Code:

sed 's/(.*//'

(replace '(' followed by 0 or more of any char with nothing)
