Laudanum Forest is an alternative pop rock band, formed in 2007,
Antwerp, Belgium. Started off as a studio project for three artists from
different bands: Patrick Vrancken (drums, bass, guitars), Stefan Saenen
(keyboards, vocals, guitars), Stefan De Cauwer (lead guitars).
The main challenge for the three founding members was to blend their
different styles and tastes into songs that would satisfy all three of them.
This resulted in a first album, "The Asylum" (2008), a musical mix of alt
rock, sixties psychedelica, new wave and progrock.
Due to the positive response they received, Laudanum Forest became
their main project and a new band member, the Italian web designer
Marco Galliano, joined them to take care of the internet affaires.
The second album, "Digging The Basement" was released the same year
(2008) and contains songs from before the actual birth of Laudanum
Forest, written and recorded for other bands, some of them co-written by
Tony Torfs.
A third album, a collaborative effort with various artists, is expectedto be
out in the second half of 2010. The band is now working on new songs for
a concept album.
