Ludo are one of the bands I would least likely be suspected of liking. Their music is a quirky mix of They Might Be Giants meets Liam Lynch. Now, I know that Liam Lynch is like the most obscure reference I could pull out of my ass, but much like Lynch, you really never know what you’re going to get from Ludo with each song. It could be a rock opera about dinosaurs a la Queen, or a power pop song about God knows what. Either way, they have easily the best merch ever: PILLOW CASES!

The thing I love about this blog is that it makes me go out to see bands I probably wouldnt normally think to see. Your Vegas is one of them, and Ludo is another. I probably never would’ve left my cozy apartment on a freezing night to see a rock show. God, another band playing apathetically for a bunch of bored scenesters… not how I want to spend my night.

So when I arrived at the venue and my name wasn’t on the list, I took it as kismet. But being the dedicated blogger that I am, I stood outside in the cold with my ear to the door (literally, i stood at outside with my ear to the door keeping notes). I heard the singer (i think, i couldnt see him) of Ludo say “If you’re existing and in this room, clap your hands!” and what sounded like a stadium started clapping enthusiastically, before a member shouted “I cant wait to make that my avatar.”

As I stood in the cold, one of my favorite security guards came out saying to a friend “Yo, this is a hot show tonight, yo I don’t think I can hear anymore!”
