Matt and Tommy and more.
Can't get enough Matt Palermo?

They're called Tommy & The High Pilots and you should check 'em out if you like GOOD MUSIC.

They play often in the great state of California, so don't miss 'em if they come your way.

In Closing...
GET READY.

Happy 2010!  So guess what? In just a few days we head to Los Angeles where we'll begin work on our 4th album!  We hope to bestow upon you the occasional video update, sneak peak, and such so keep your eyes peeled and make sure you're all signed up on our Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc.

We've got lots of songs and we're excited to get this thing all wrapped up for your listening pleasure. Be patient!

In the meantime...
We've got 2 posters now available at our merch store. (Along with some other great stuff.)  They're limited edition and wood-printed by a small company in our hometown of St. Louis.  You may have seen them on the last tour. One is a Broken Bride poster with all the tour dates, and the other commemorates the release of "The Fuel, The Fire, The Spark", the 1st EP from The New Heathers (Tim, Tim, and Matt's side project.)
Check 'em out!

And while you're waiting for us to finish the album so you can jam your ipods, may we suggest you cram them with some of this stuff in the meantime...

“Elektra’s Complex” is streaming live on Entertainment Weekly’s web site. Click here to hear the song.

The song has been a fan favorite for years, and will appear on the upcoming reissue of Ludo’s self-titled debut album.

Included with the debut album will be a 10-song bonus disc of the band’s never-before-released live album. It’s out Sept. 29.

Ludo is also re-releasing its 2005 EP “Broken Bride,” which will be performed in its entirety on the band’s upcoming tour, which includes an Oct. 22 concert at the Pageant.

Ludo’s Tim Convy says “Our fan base has grown quite a bit in the last year, and as a result we have plenty new fans who are only familiar with ‘You’re Awful, I Love You.’ We wanted to put out our first two albums to a wider audience, to sort of bring them up to speed before we release our new album next year.”
