Ludo
Hello, this is Andrew Volpe from the
rock band Ludo. Were from St. Louis
and so is Chuck Berry. BLAM!
Ludo was invented in my brain sophomore year of college,
when I finally accepted that all I wanted to do in life
was rock. Shortly thereafter, I intercepted Tim Ferrell: an
aspirator with a predilection for shredding. Enter Tim
Convy. He was just hanging out in Columbia, Missouri,
waiting for an unproven rock group to ask him to drop
everything, join them, and play an instrument hed
never even seen. So we hooked him up. In the summer
of 2003, we mounted the internet with an ad titled,
Drummer/Bassist Needed to Help Take Over World.
Apparently that sounded appealing. Bassist Marshall
Fanciullo left Omaha, drummer Matt Palermo left
Houston, and they both moved down to Tulsa into our
abode. Three weeks (some practicing, and a lot of kickball)
after having met each other, we entered the studio
to record Ludos debut album. We cranked it out in
roughly 14 days and hit the road.
A few hundred shows later, we had tricked a bunch of
people into liking us. Buttressed by this unjustified
success, we released an EP called Broken Bride in
August of 2005. It seemed to give us quote-unquote
street cred. And by street cred, I mean it made it
harder for people who hate things (dudes in chatrooms,
college music columnists, a-holes) to hate us too.
Our dreams were realized.
We decided someone else should pay for our next record,
so we started going out to expensive dinners with
important people. When the surf-and-turfs had settled,
Ludo was thrilled to sign with Island Records in October
2006. We celebrated by high-fiving and hitting the studio
at the beginning of 2007 with producer Matt Wallace
(Maroon 5, Faith No More, a real winner) to record our
major-label debut.
Ludos new album Youre Awful, I Love You came out
better than any of us could have hoped for. As a record,
it combines the pop sensibilities of our first album with
the darkness and adventurous storytelling of Broken
Bride, and takes the combination thereof far beyond the
scope of either, into a veritable uber-world of extremorock,
where time is naught and babies burp themselves.
When people hear this album for the first time, they will
most likely be so moved that they defecate out a perfect,
sentient, life-size clone of themselves, feel compelled to
murder it, hide the body, and then never speak of it
again. So watch out.
