Shanti’s Dispatches

Just got word that my high-school buddy Andrew Volpe and his band (Ludo) have signed with Island Records:

On Tuesday, October 3rd we signed our final papers making Ludo an Island Records recording artist. Island Records is home to artists like Bon Jovi, Fall-Out Boy, Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie, Thursday, Sum 41 and The Killers. Our search for a label has been a long one, but we were lucky enough to have several options and we’re thrilled with how things have turned out. What does all this mean? All it really means is that the next Ludo album will come out on Island Records. Which means we’ll have their help in getting our music to more people. Other than that, it’s the same Ludo.

If you haven’t heard these guys, check ‘em out on their MySpace. (esp. Hum Along - which, if on their next Island Records album, could very easily end up on pop/rock radio stations across the country, imho)
