Speaking of future fans, we recently got invited to be a part of an indie labels compilation/sampler CD due out in early 2005 . The folks at Lost Cat Records (lostcatrecords.com) got a hold of "Cookie" sometime over the last year and absolutely "had to have"           the quirky ballad "2 Birds" on their  project. Needless to say we are pretty excited about the exposure, not to mention knowing that of the hundreds of CD's mailed out, at least one of them got a spin. We will keep the site updated on the progress of that, and any other relevant info regarding the adventures of Mans Laughter.

Don't forget to check our schedule page, as we will be trying to get out in front of people on a much more regular basis than has been the case over the last few years. We have amassed a fat set list of over 40 originals, and now are up to at least 6 releases in the archives. We've been busy to say the least, the last 5 years or so (of our 9 or 10 together now) have been more about growth than anything else, and we think it all shows when we plug in for a crowd...so be sure to get out to one of our upcoming gigs, say hi, and grab a CD.

Don't forget the CD "Cookie" is still available at CDbaby.com, as well as at the shows. You can get samples of a lot of our material right here on the site (in one downloadable format or another).

Check some of the new pics too, we have a group of new ones from New York while doing some of the mix down sessions with John Siket and friends at  Studio 99 (the back half of the old Theater 99). This is also a chance to get a visual of the enigmatic and provocative Tara Meadows (she does seem to provoke something in everyone..). It was a good time, and it translates in the end result, so be sure to get a copy of "Smile Bitch! "  as soon as you can. Also feel free to let us know what you think, say hi, and leave us your contact on the Guestbook link, we'd like to here from you.
