(antiMusic) Ludo will be checking in with us all summer as they rock the Warped tour in support of their Island Def Jam CD "You're Awful, I Love You". You can tell by their album name, their sense of humor will fit perfectly here. Here is the band with the entry for the tour kick off:Ludo finally has a bus! After hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of shows, we finally get to do a tour in a bus! Unbelievable. With our new tour manager, Randy, and our new merch guy, Byron, we left St. Louis late on the night of the 20th, slept as we rode through the night to Columbus, got up, saw The Dark Knight, slept as we rode through the night again to Bay Shore, New York, got up, toured the merchdirect facilities (where all our merch is made), had dinner with Steve Davis, and then slept as we rode through the night all the way to Mansfield, Massachusetts.
Our first day on Warped! Got our set time, Byron and Randy loaded in and set up merch, we did some radio interviews, then loaded in. We're on the Hurley.com Stage. In Mansfield, it was apparently one of two stages under the pavilion. Right before we played it began to pour rain, and probably 10,000 people piled into the shed to hide from the rain. Where they helplessly had to watch a Ludo show! Ha! Our sick plan worked. We played six songs as the pit flooded and kids down there went nutso. I immediately hopped offstage after the show, and cut straight to our merch tent, where we then hung out for the rest of the evening, meeting peoples and signing stuffs. Loaded out. Broke down merch. A few of us grabbed showers. They were freezing cold. We nestled snugly into our bunks and as we slumbered, we rolled toward Buffalo, New York.
