Hey Our Basement!
After splitting time between writing songs intended for video games and my own solo material, I decided to combine the two into one project upon entering the studio with my brother, Sean. There, under the moniker Laughed the Boy, we recorded our debut EP.
The addition of bassist Brennan Hrehoruk solidified our lineup and gave us the push we needed to start performing the songs live. In between show rehearsals, we found ourselves with an album’s worth of fresh material and headed into the studio once more to record the nine tracks that make up our debut full-length. Since dropping Here is Fine back in February 2017, we’ve spent a lot of time on the road. 2018 will see us doing more of that, as well as recording our sophomore album.
“Halfway” came to me one morning after a few sessions of demoing new material. I sat there playing it over and over again until it felt ready enough to play as a band. Sean and I went to the studio, jammed it out a couple of times, and recorded it that same day. The general concept for the track came from a notepad full of jotted thoughts that I aimlessly scribbled throughout shifts at my day job – an unexpected bout of inspiration.
You can hear the official premiere of “Halfway” over at The Alternative, or stream it below. Thank you so much for listening – we’re entirely grateful for the support.
Laughed the Boy
G’day! Not here, heading out to the country.
I wonder what Sean’s (I suppose) sister’s name is?
Good morning!
Hello hello!
I think it is Sean’s brother personally.
Hiya.
I like the track. Catchy tune.
Heading out but I will check back later. Have a good one!
I can see I have missed a lot over my absence.. We drove 1565 miles in our 1972 Citroen DS21. I’m back. Anyone else here?
Cool ride, I remember the photos.
Very smooth ride indeed. Six hour delay near Sicamouus so one of our nights we did not get into bed until 1:30am. Our dog’s picture is getting the most attention of the photo’s of the event.

@Morgana, Is that Suki in the second image down?

empty fridge after wee holiday so off i go
i’m going to be purchasing my ticket for Kaslo Jazz Etc festival tonight. I may not be able to enjoy festivals the way I am used to this year but I figure I can sit way back in a lawn chair and at least listen to the music.
Cool pic morgana. I hope you enjoy the playlist.
I am now having FOMO for Kaslo.
We need to find a sponsor for this site so we can afford to attend events like that
I keep wondering how I can get paid to go to festivals and music events.
escort? *runs away*
Ha! We were joking about that at auditions for a musical. I was the escort service. hehe. I just took them from the waiting room to the audition room.
