FAMKAB

St. Louis power pop rock outfit LUDO have been working away in the studio for the last few months working on their followup to their breakthrough major label debut, 2008’s You’re Awful, I Love You. And after several playful hints and clues revealing information on the newest album over the last few weeks on their MySpace and Facebook fan pages they not only revealed their new single, but also two other songs along with the album title (The release date was announced earlier last month).

LUDO members Tim Ferrell and Tim Convy took to the St. Louis radio airwaves on Monday, June 21 and premiered their first single, an explosive, clever and predictably catchy tune entitled “Whipped Cream” on 105.7 The Point. It’s not quite at the same level of catchiness as their most popular single “Love Me Dead” (which peaked at #8 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Charts in September of 2008), but it is a bit more explosive and stands to have a solid chance on Modern Rock radio stations all across the United States in the coming weeks and months. They also premiered two other tracks, the more orchestral and classic LUDO sounding “Too Tired To Wink” and the non surprising robotic styled “Cyborgs vs. Robots”.

They also revealed the name of their second major label album, the fun but repetitious sounding Prepare the Preparations. It is out in stores on August 17. And knowing LUDO, “Whipped Cream” probably already has a clever music videos in the works. And although they intend on announcing tour dates soon, they have been tapped as one of the headliners of Pointfest 27 in St. Louis on August 14 in the meantime. We will continue to update you as we get new information
