Record release party at The Cave

Gosh golly this is going to be a big deal.
Opening the show is Awesome, which includes Bryon’s son Basie. This is, I think, their first Chapel Hill show and we’re very proud to have them on the bill. They are as their name implies.
Awesome starts (probably) around 10 or 10:30 or so. Not a long set I’m told, so don’t missit.
Then we’ll have a prize drawing for a piece of rare Lud memorabilia — no hints here, but it does not include any articles of clothing (sorry, we’re all out of LudThongs).
From there, we’ll play two sets — a nice, pleasant poppy set and a late, driving rockwonderous set.
Then we’ll sit down and go ‘whooo’ a few times and then go home.
This is all to celebrate the release of V, which is going to get some press this week it seems.
So, get your tickets early, squirrelly.
We’ll have both CDs and LPs for sale and that will be great.
All proceeds from the tickets and show go to the Record-Another-Lud-Record Fund.
Please consider attending this event and egging us on for your Saturday evening amusement.
Thanks

Floating

So I picked up this old health class texbook at the swap shed at the Orange County Solid Waste Convenience Center on Ferguson Road. And it had drawings and doodles all through it. One was a list of top bands and at the very top was The Floaters. And I was all, like, ‘yeah Float On.’

Shew in Durham

Got a really big shew in Durham on Thursday Nov. 13 at the GLoft. I’ll let ol’ Ross Grady explain — from this week’s Things to do on Amch:

Thursday, November 13
Lud (http://www.ludland.com/)
Transportation (http://www.myspace.com/transportation)
Dawn Chorus (http://www.myspace.com/dawnchorus)
Hundred Air (http://www.myspace.com/hundredair)
G Loft, Durham

This is a showcase for Fractured Discs, which is building a super-solid
track record of quietly releasing great records by NC bands. All four
bands on this bill have released albums on Fractured at some point in
the past year (or, in the case of Lud, are fixing to in the next few
weeks). The new Lud album, in fact, is easily going to be on my top 10
for the year.

The show was put together by Louis and Jamie from Tin Star, and it’s
happening at the G Loft, which is attached to George’s Garage on 9th
Street. Between these guys & the opening of The Pinhook, we’re getting
damn close to something resembling critical mass in Durham. Bring yr
dosimeter.

Abba abba hey

Yeah, it’s kinda sick to do it . . .

Working title: Matagari

This is one for the future. Here’s the first time recording of a new song (me and a garageband drum beat) as the soundtrack for a dancing flag film.

Playing in front of some barn

Here’s the three-piece version of the band (Sarah was at the beach) playing at a party in Alamance County. This is at the end of the song Rocket to Kinshasa and was shot on my little vid camera by Tricia of OCSC fame. The fire was lovely and we ate too much food.

Ludsmith

One of the unofficial new official photos with S. Bell.
Man. These jackets were maybe the best score ever at UNC Surplus.
