LO-FI SAINT LOUIS

Ludo

I hadn't heard much about this band before they started to make a big splash both locally and nationally recently. Don, my main contact at City Museum called me and said that they were interested in doing a video after they had seen Lo-Fi Sessions, and of course, being St. Louisians they were fans of City Museum.City Museum recently installed an enormous antique pipe organ in the part of the museum just above the caves. It's a tall chamber with spiral slides that reach the top of the building. When the building was home to shoe factory these slides were used to get product from the top of the building to the bottom to be packed for shipping. Now these slides have a more nobel purpose--for humans to have fun. Anxious to show off this new installation, City Museum suggested that Ludo play on it to show it off.Ludo is busy doing what up and coming pop bands do these days, touring, playing national television shows, and recording. You can keep up with them on their site or their myspace page (of course). I found them to be very nice people, down to earth yet professional. I have to thank Tim Convey especially, my main contact with the band whom I found to be very friendly, warm and generous.
