A Very Ludo X-mas 2011

A few years back (2007), I had the honor of opening the Very Ludo X-mas show at The Pageant in St. Louis, MO with my band, Nothing Still. Playing in front of 2,200 people (a Sold Out crowd) was by far, the highlight of our career and a memory I will never forget. This past Saturday, it was as if I had stepped in the Delorean and gone back in time (cue the Huey Lewis music), cause I once again found myself on that stage, overly decorated with giant inflatable Christmas lawn ornanments and reeking of Glade pine air freshener. 

This time around, it was OPTION//CONTROL who got to open for the local group, gone national sensation and they too got to experience what it was like to play in front of a jam-packed, music thirsty crowd. I knew from experience that it would be a night worth remembering and brought a long a talented crew of cameramen to capture the night in its entirety. Along with Casey Watson and photographer, Joey Nguyen, we documented the entire day's events beginning with the band at it's afternoon rehearsal. We caught the excitement, the nerves, the anger and the fun that comes along with playing a life changing show of this caliber.

My bad, it's been almost a month since the last update...

I spent the latter half of April finishing up work on "The Boy Wonder" which is coming out this week! I also had to bounce off of that and quickly gear up for shooting another OPTION//CONTROL live video last night...and by "gearing up" I mean buying new camera equipment!

Yes, Patrick Lawrence films and productions are now oficially in high definition! I am now filming in 1080p with a Canon 7D, so expect only the best for my videos from here on out!

Also, my band Nothing Still, is back in action and playing a "not to be missed" show at The Pageant in Saint Louis, Missouri on Saturday, June 11th! I will try to merge music and film over the next month and update this site with as much news on teh show as possible, just be sure to keep checking out the blog for news.

Tonight is not over yet, and something tells me I might still have one more update brewing...
