Thunder King by LVEO

LVEO was born in October of 2003 as the support band for Bobomagic. About a decade later, Scott Weissman saw us (Bob and ED) playing at a birthday party for Cyrus McGuire and invited us into the studio. The timing was great because the rhythm section (enter Lord Richardson) had recently changed up their game to liven things up and, as a result, a few people actually danced at shows. Later we discovered that it was because they were on mushrooms, but nevertheless, we were inspired to move in this more kinetic direction. We laid down all the basic tracks in one session. Scott did a lot of mixing, Ed did a lot of producing and then Scotty and Jen added talent to mix to make it all sound better. 9 months later out popped TK. Well something like that.

The title song was improvised in the studio and lyrics were added a few... uhh.. weeks later?!?!... in the parking lot of Bed, Bath & Beyond. TK is a tribute to my second kid, Joey, who was just a tiny little fetus at the time. Big sister Juniper can be heard on the track saying "I love you"over and over again.

Most of the other songs are newish older songs that have been played over the years at shows. "Another Another Day" and "Song for Maria Revisited" are different takes of songs from the 2003 album "lveo" by Bobomagic. All of the songs on this EP are in my weird tuning that Scotty Rock n' Roll says is all As and Ds. I think it's D-A-D-A-A-D which is really fitting if you think about it.

People have this stuff about Thunder King:

"Totally Bob in every way."

"Super cool stuff"

"I am doing office work this morning, listening to the Thunder King as loud as my speakers can go. RAWKKNG!!!!! RrrrrRrrRRRRararrrarrAWK!!!! Wow! A thunderous LVEO revival!"

"I think the secret truth is that you are always rocking hard. Even while absorbed in the deepest realms of sleep."

"Listened to the entire album and loved it!"

"Where do you find the time to rock so hard?!"

"Very big, wide and layered with some moody groovey. I dig it."

"I can't tell you how much I am enjoying this CD... Listening to it makes me want to be more creative. You've really come a long way since we first discussed your (as well as my own) musical aspirations in what seems like another lifetime. There are elements of several different bands/artists I enjoy interspersed throughout this recording, but the development of your voice as a song writer and recording artist makes me very, very proud. I look forward to what comes next."
