FREE MP3 FROM THE DELTA FIASCO HERE
May 8, 2008
With a sound that sits impatiently between The Velvet Underground and European techno, The Delta Fiasco have crafted an audio-visual ‘happening’ of subversive, avant-garde allure. With catchy hooks, haunting vocals and synchronised bleeps the Liverpool outfit bring a whole new darkness to the current de rigueur for smiley-faced nu-rave.

LUDO HEADS BACK OUT ON THE ROAD - VIDEO HERE
May 8, 2008
After four years of insane hard work, coast-to-coast survival touring, and endless trips back home to St. Louis, Island Records group Ludo claws their way to the top of the heap with “Love Me Dead,” the first single and video from their major label album debut, YOU’RE AWFUL, I LOVE YOU, released on February 26th.
This monster single has been heating up the airwaves from KROQ in Los Angeles to WFNX in Boston and all parts in between. Riding of the heels of the radio phenomenon, the band has been rocking radio shows from coast to coast, even playing at the Kentucky Derby. Things are heating up for this road loving band, on May 28th, they begin a 7 week tour with the Spill Canvas, starting in Milwaukee ( Turner Hall) and ending up on July 2nd in Des Moines (People’s Court), just before they head out to rock the Hurley stage on the Warped tour until the end of the Summer.
It only takes one listen to catch the infectious “Love Me Dead,” a cancerously parasitic love song to a romantic dead-end (with the first-verse throwaway line, “you’re awful, I love you!”). The song has grabbed Modern Rock radio by the throat since it shipped at the top of the year. With an audience of almost 2million, this single shows no signs of slowing down.
It even caught the ear of Jimmy Kimmel, who has booked the band on their first national TV appearance. Ludo is bringing their high energy theatrical rock to the stage on Jimmy Kimmel Live on May 9th.
The “Love Me Dead” video, which premiered on www.heavy.com, was added to “Steven’s Untitled Rock Show” on FUSE , as well as mtvU and MTV2.
Vigilante bushwhackers with a heart of gold, who are out to bang your psyche and love you dead – the five-man conspiracy known as Ludo was named by Alternative Press as one of the “Bands To Watch In 2007.” YOU’RE AWFUL, I LOVE YOU was recorded over the course of eight weeks in Los Angeles with producer Matt Wallace (Maroon 5, Train, Faith No More). Described by the band’s Andrew Volpe as their “healthiest, most-ten-toed musicbaby yet,” the new album follows up its two indie predecessors – Ludo’s self-titled debut album of 2003 (recorded in St. Louis, “in roughly 14 days”), and 2005’s mini-album EP Broken Bride (on Redbird Records).
Beware of pterodactyls swarming on www.youtube.com/theludovideothing, the Ludo video thing channel, an organically expanding journey into the making of their new album on Island Records. Currently up to its 16th episode, the “Thing” now incorporates the ‘Toothbrush’ video for “Love me Dead. In addition to tracks from their first two albums – “Hum Along” from Ludo; and “Pt. I: Broken Bride” from Broken Bride – the site also streams “Love Me Dead” and “Drunken Lament” from YOU’RE AWFUL, I LOVE YOU.

Many artists tend to have their bio written for them. Well, contrary to that orthodox style, I feel nobody can explain my musical journey of “joy, pain, sunshine and rain” better than me. My name is Mazzi and I am a native of Jersey City, New Jersey. I am the lead of a group called S.O.U.L. (Sense Of Understanding Life’s) Purpose.
