Hey bloggers, sorry I haven't blogged in a while but I've been preparing my preparations for Ludo's new album! If you couldn't guess from my cheesy joke, this weeks blog is about my favorite band, Ludo. Ludo, named after the character from 1986's Labyrinth, was founded by Andrew Franciss Volpe. In August 2003, the band, consisting of Andrew Volpe, Tim Ferrell, Tim Convy, Marshall Fanciullo, and Matt Palermo, recorded their first self-titled album, Ludo, under their own indie-rock record label, Rebird Records. They later went on to record Broken Bride EP (2005), You're Awful, I Love You (2008), and Prepare the Preparations (2010). This Missouri band is my nerdy passion. Seeing them in concert, fall 2009, was a dream come true. What other band would do such crazy things as seen in the music videos for Good Will Hunting by Myself, You're Awful, I Love you (toothbrush version), and Whipped Cream (unofficial). I have described Ludo many times as "the best thing since the Beatles". Their album, Broken Bride, is my favorite because of it's rock-opera story line and tone, and because it has the most legendary concert ever witnessed. Though, it would seem, their newest album, Prepare the Preparations, is what is mostly stuck in my head lately.
