Released on Last Stop Records in 2003, LVEO's debut album, "Bobomagic lveo" sold out of it's first press upon its release and was nominated for top 10 album of the year in New York's Village Voice. The album has been distributed to Canada, New Zealand, Ireland and Budapest and aired on KALX, KZSU, KUSF, KPOO, KDRT, Pirate Cat Radio and Live 365's Good People Radio. Lveo has performed live on-air for Crisco Jones' KZSU's Press & Release and Sixth Degree's show on KUSF.
LVEO delivers a melange of haunting baritone tales blended with rich "sonic dissonance" and has been compared to the sound of Centro-Matic, Jeff Buckley, Tool, Radio Head, and Red House Painters. The drumming of Eric Davis is unorthodox, yet thoughtful; driving each song from tranquility then pushing the dynamics into swells of madness. Williard's voice is haunting and captivating; his guitar droning a-tonal. Together, they bring you from lullaby to chaos and back. This is what LVEO does best.
Lveo has performed at number of formidable Bay Area Venues including Cafe Du Nord, The Hotel Utah, Thee Parkside, Last Day Saloon, UC Davis' Mondavi Center, The Park SF, Beale Street Bar and Grill, JJ Schultz's Beer Drinkin' Acoustic, Cloudview Lane, The ICAN Gallery, Studio 352, as well as San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza.
LVEO's lineup has morphed from a quintet to a duo and back again and is in full roar with Eric "Lord" Richardson on 5 string bass, Scotty "Rock N' Roll" Robertson on lead guitar and the etherial vocal harmonies of Jen Faith. The band has begun recording a second album.
