Without a Face

Without a Face will be joining Ludo and The New Heathers (http://www.myspace.com/the..newheathers) on all our dates this fall. If you're in St. Louis, you can also see Without a Face at the Building Rome (http://www.myspace.com/bui..ldingrome) show this Friday, September 18th, at The Pageant. (http://www.thepageant.com/) Just get there at 7!

Who's Without a Face?

Oh yeah - sorry. Without a Face is a 22 year-old solo artist from Houston, TX named Henry Dillard. Years ago (i believe on the 1st Broken Bride Tour) he randomly opened for us when we played Houston. We really liked him and made sure he played every Houston show of ours that we could get him on from that point forward. He was at the top of our list of artists we'd want to help if we ever got the chance. SOOO... we're helping him out. He's coming on tour with us and his album, "Worst Debut Album Ever" will be the 1st non-Ludo release from Redbird Records & Touring. (http://www.redbirdrecords...com/) Redbird Records is the label we started when we first started Ludo to be able to put our own albums out. Now, we want to use it for Ludo solo projects, side projects, and artists we believe in that we think we can help.

So, check out the Without a Face myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/wit..houtaface) and listen to the tracks. He's got "Without a Myspace" and (my personal favorite) "31" posted as well as some clips of songs from the rest of the album. Here are other links of his that you can check out:
http://www.facebook.com/pa..ges/Without-a-Face/2343067..7790?ref=ts
http://twitter.com/waftwee..ts
http://www.youtube.com/waf..tv

He also just created a pretty ridiculous parody of the Kanye / Taylor VMA thing that you can check out here:
http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/..2009/09/17/is-this-possibl..y-the-best-kanye-west-tayl..or-swift-vma-viral-video-o..f-the-week/

If you fall instantly in love, you can get the full album on iTunes right now. It will also be available on all the tour dates and should be up on CDBaby.com, Amazon, etc very soon. Here's the iTunes link:
http://itunes.apple.com/We..bObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/vi..ewArtist?id=292125901
It's really a special album.

Thanks for checking it out and remember, he's on all the tour dates below.
But 1st...

"Elektra's Complex" the never-before-released song from our rerelease of Ludo is STREAMING RIGHT NOW @ http://music-mix.ew.com/20..09/09/14/ludo-elektras-com..plex/

You can pre-order the 2 rereleases here:
If you want a limited editon Tshirt for each album - http://merchdirect.com/lud..o
If just want both CD's cheap - http://www.smartpunk.com/l..udo-s-t-broken-bride-2x-cd..-combo.html

Alright, there's been quite a bit of news lately so we figured we'd put it all in one place and try to summarize as best as we possibly could. PLEASE read the WHOLE thing before you go back and click all those links! It's all important!
 
TWO NEW ALBUMS....kinda.
 
First and foremost, we're RE-RELEASING our 1st two albums on September 29th.  For those that don't know, we made two albums before we put out You're Awful, I Love You.   They were only available at shows, online, and in a few stores in St. Louis.  But on TUESDAY, September 29th those two albums will be available everywhere. 


Our first album (beautifully pictured above) is called Ludo.  I know it's a weird word, right?  We originally released it in 2003.  It has songs that you've probably heard at shows like "Hum Along" and "Good Will Hunting by Myself". (LINK: http://www...youtube.com/watch?v=..zxRCDmHwlEQ) You can hear those on our myspace page.  BUT, even if you've got the original, we've made a few changes.  We remixed the album and mastered it for the 1st time ever. (These are basically 2 things that make music sound WAY better that we were unable to do when we made the record in the first place because we were dumb kids.) We also added a 12th track called "Elektra's Complex". And then we kept going. We added a 2nd disc. It's a live recording of 10 songs from our 1st Birthday show on August 4th, 2004 in St. Louis.  So you've got 2 discs, but it will only cost as much as 1, hence BONUS disc. Anyway, check this album out.  It's what started this crazy life of ours.


Our second release is called Broken Bride. It's technically and EP, but it's nearly 30 minutes of music with one song clocking in at over 8 minutes.  It's a rock opera, 5 songs that tell a story - a really weird, intense and emotional story.  It's about a guy who loses his wife in a car accident so he spends 15 years creating a time machine so he can go back and save her.  The time machine malfunctions and an adventure ensues involving dinosaurs, zombies, angels and a dragon.  If you've seen us live, you've probably heard at least a song or two from Broken Bride. If you check out our myspace page,(LINK: http://www...myspace.com/ludorock)  you can hear "Part I: Broken Bride", the song that gets the story started. We've always been pretty pleased with how this one sounds so it's pretty much the same as the original with slightly different packaging.  Keep an eye out for BRAND NEW MUSIC VIDEO for one of the songs on this album.  It will be premiering soon and we're sure that will go down as one of the coolest things we've done.  Anyway, we grew a ton as a band making this record, and after its release started playing to more and more people. We think you'll like it.
 
So remember that date TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29TH. Your best bet to find these things in a store is going to be your favorite cool record store (which you should support) or BEST BUY (LINK: http://www.bestbuy...com/site/olspage.jsp?id=..cat12090&type=page). So hit one up and grab 'em both. It will also be available on iTunes and all those great places, BUT... if you don't want to mess with any of that and you want 'em brought directly to your home, you can PRE-ORDER RIGHT NOW.  We've got special packages in our MERCH STORE (LINK: http://..merchdirect.com/ludo) where you can order and get exclusive T-shirts.  Just order them both now and you won't have to worry about it later, you know?
 
THE BROKEN BRIDE TOUR
 
Bad News: We're only playing 9 shows between now and the end of the year.
Good News:
a. We're playing music from all three of our albums and we'll be playing Broken Bride in its entirety.
b.  Most of the shows are on weekends so it's easy to road-trip
c. We tried to spread out the shows all over the country so we wouldn't be too far for anyone.
d. these shows are going to be ridiculous

Here they are:

And if we're not coming ANYWHERE near you, and you don't care about the re-releases because you already know those songs, perhaps you should meet...
 
THE NEW HEATHERS


As many of you know, we've had a lot of time off this year and Tim, Tim, and Matt drummed up a little side project in this time off.  Basically we started a band called The New Heathers as a home for songs of Tim Ferrell that didn't really fit Ludo.  On You're Awful, I Love You Tim wrote "Topeka" and he wrote and sang the hidden track "Boat Song" so if you like Ludo, and you like that stuff, you'll probably like The New Heathers.  But you can decide for yourself!  By the time this email goes out, the 1st TNH song, "Agatha"  should be up on the myspace page, www.MySpace.com/..TheNewHeathers  (LINK: http://..www.myspace.com/..thenewheathers)  There will be 6-song EP called The Fuel, The Fire, The Spark which should be available by the end of the month.  Oh, and The New Heathers will be playing tour dates too, so if you can't make it to a Ludo show Tim, Tim, and Matt would love to see you at one of these shows.  We'll be playing The New Heathers shows with the same bands as the Broken Bride Tour. And by the way, we have no intention of this getting in the way of Ludo.  We hope we get to play more TNH shows and make more albums but only when Ludo has down-time. So enjoy!
PLEASE join us on:
 
Tour dates for The New Heathers w/ Ha Ha Tonka, Meese, and Without a Face:
Oct 18 - Harper's Ferry - Boston, MA  (http://www.venuevents.net/..event/483)
Oct 21 - Mac's Bar - Lansing, MI 
Nov 10 - Club Congress - Tuscon, AZ
 
These shows are at smaller clubs and should be pretty intimate and lots of fun.  Tim, Tim, and Matt would love to see you.
 
BUILDING ROME
 
Remember Building Rome? You may have seen 'em play a few of our hometown shows over the years.  Well, they're releasing an album called Nightmare.  Tim and Tim played some guitars and Moog on the album and you just might dig it.  They're also playing a BIG release show at The Pageant on September 18th. Opening that show will be our pal Without a Face ( LINK: myspace.com/withoutaface.. ) so GO TO THIS SHOW and get there EARLY.  There's a good chance you will love both these bands. All the info you need is at http://www.myspace.com/..buildingrome
 
 
In closing, we hope you remember all this crap. Feel free to forward this along to friends so they can help you remember. Check all the stuff below, and make sure you're on our myspace page, facebook, and twitter.  We'll keep you informed.  Can't wait to see you all at these shows.  Now go pre-order!!!
