Hey everyone - sorry we haven't updated the website for awhile. Our intentions have been good but it's been kinda busy and, well, you know how it goes. Anyway, here's a quick recap of what's been going on in Laughing Outlaw World.

The 16th Apollo Bay Music Festival is on this year between the 25th and 27th of April and we're pretty excited that three laughing Outlaw artists are appearing - Perry Keyes, Duckdive and Halfway. For more deets on the festival go to:www.apollobaymusicfestival.com

NEW ALBUMS COMING SOON
We're gearing up for some pretty fantabulous new albums coming over the next few months, including L.J. Hill's Naomi Mud and much anticipated releases from Jason Walker and Jenny Queen.
PERRY KEYES AND RADIO NATIONAL - ABC
Hey, we were pretty excited when Radio National voted Perry's album The Last Ghost Train Home as their Album Of The Week . . . so you can imagine the celebrations when in December it was announced as Album Of The YEAR.
PERRY KEYES GETS AMPED
And we were pretty over-the-bloody-moon when Perry and The Last Ghost Train Home was nominated in the Final 10 for the Australian Music Prize (AMP), particularly when there were more than 190 entries. Perry didn't win (it's OK, Mess Hall - we still love you - and congratulations) but it was a major achievement to be nominated in the Final 10.
PONY UP - TOUR AND ALBUM
Pony Up wound their way through the UK and Europe towards the end of last year - and are now safely back in Montreal putting the final touches of a new album that we're pretty excited about.
SAM SHINAZZI AND BUFFALO TOM
Our buddy Sam Shinazzi is more than just a lot bit obsessive about Buffalo Tom - so you can imagine that he's still coming back to earth after getting piked to play March shows with them in Sydney and Brisbane.
GINA VILLALOBOS - NEW ALBUM
Gina is busily at work in Los Angeles, finishing up the recording of what will be her third album for Laughing Outlaw.
BEK-JEAN STEWART AND RADIO NATIONAL
We were also pretty excited when Bek-Jean Stewart's album - Junior Years - was named as a Radio National Album Of The Week.
latest releases:
The Last Ghost Train Home Perry Keyes
Escape From Dragon House Dengue Fever
Stories for another day Duckdive
