the band

Lveo delivers a melange of haunting baritone tales blended with rich, “sonic dissonance.” It has been suggested that the music of Lveo is like that of Centro-Matic, Jeff Buckley, Tool, Radio Head, and Red House Painters. The band, Lveo, consists of two key contributors. The drumming of Eric Davis is unorthodox, yet thoughtful; driving each song from tranquility then pushing the dynamics into swells of madness. The voice of Magic is haunting and captivating; his guitar droning a-tonal. They will 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.
