About The Ludvico Treatment

The Ludvico Treatment began in 2002 as a transatlantic collaboration between Adam Veenendaal (Canada) and Alex Kennard (UK). Following a shelved EP in 2005 and a number of lineup changes, the band self-released their debut album "Romanticism" in 2007.

The music on Romanticism features a blend of swirling guitars and reverb-tinged vocals taking cues from the shoegaze era of Creation records with a louder rhythm section. A review from music blog Kaini Industries says "Romanticism doesn’t just stay in one place like most ripoff shoegaze bands do. It explores the nooks and crannies of the genre better than any other shoegaze album I have ever encountered, and I have encountered many." Read the full review here.

In 2005 Adam took on The Ludvico Treatment as a solo project and he produced, mixed and mastered the debut album over the following two years. A live incarnation of the band made its debut in April 2007 with the CD release of Romanticism following shortly thereafter. The live band will be performing again beginning in spring 2009 and new releases are on the way.

Slow down, Molasses	Jul 16 2009 5:23 AM ha! nice, even better. I used to cover cupid come solo, so I'm always stoked on mbv covers....almost as good as slowdive covers. I haven't heard monster movie yet, but I've heard good things, so I'll have to check them out.
Slow down, Molasses	Jul 15 2009 11:13 PM wicked, yeah it'd be great to play with you guys. I don't know when we'll be back out west, but I'll shoot you a message when we do....anyone who covers slowdive is good in my books.

Matt	Jun 5 2009 1:11 AM The Ludvico Treatment gives me raging boners. This is not a compliment as they have a damaging effect on my pants. I am now down to a single pair, which places a great deal of pressure on it. Either stop giving me boners or buy me some pants.
