The Van Allen Belt, John Ludington
Pittsburgh-based alternative pop group The Van Allen Belt are touring with their 3rd LP release “Heaven On A Branch”. They have been described as a spacey mix of 60s-influenced psych-pop layered with smile inducing quirk and head scratching charm. Since the group kicked into gear opening for 90s post-rock luminaries Stereolab just after their debut, they have been touring nationally since 2008 including a few notable festival spots in CBGB, MPMF, NXNE, & SXSW.

John Ludington has been called “…the lovechild of Beck and Frank Zappa…” Andrew Goff (North Coast Journal). Raised in upstate New York, John has been writing since his father taught him to play guitar at age 9. By 14, he had formed and fronted his first successful band, Barefoot Gravediggers. John’s travels have led him to busk the subways of Boston and to compose and tour with a stilt walking acrobatic troupe. He has acquired seven full length albums. His latest release, Forest Creature, is a collaboration with his longtime musical influence, Seth Faergolzia. In four months they wrote and recorded 11 songs online and set off for a 29 show-European tour in March 2013.
John plays bass for Absynth Quintet, a critically acclaimed gypsy-grass band. Their fourth LP is forthcoming.
