They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve recorded five records, played an untold number of shows, and generally jammed their way through the cobwebs of rock clich\u00c3\u00a9 and indie pretension.

I   no longer want to play tuba and will concentrate on being a better guitarist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Describe what it&#8217;s like to play in Lud versus in other bands (like Killer Filler).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s easy: I get to do what I want in Lud. I never have to play a  song the same way twice. The other  band I&#8217;m in (Killer Filler) requires  discipline and dedication which is  also good.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Picture-11.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3755\" title=\"Bryon Settle\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Picture-11-197x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"188\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Picture-11-197x300.png 197w, https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Picture-11-52x80.png 52w, https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Picture-11.png 359w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 188px) 100vw, 188px\" \/><\/a>4.
