Named after the big, shaggy yeti in the 1986 fantasy movie Labyrinth (it's got David Bowie and puppets -- classic), Ludo are five guys who know a thing or two about theatrics. The band's new video, "Love Me Dead," is like an elaborate high school musical (no, not that kind) with frontman Andrew Volpe as the star of the show, melodically, hyper-literally musing on his super schizo love/hate relationship with a certain lady friend.
Hailing from St. Louis, the band formed back in 2003 but only gained recent kudos following the February 2008 release of their major label debut, You're Awful, I Love You. With heart-tugging harmonies that bear resemblance to power-pop icons Weezer (nerdy glasses included!) the group is vying for votes for a spot on the TRL countdown.
Watch "Love Me Dead" for a histrionic dose of chainsaws, vampires and skeletons (no yetis though -- too bad), and check out videos by some of their select elders:
