At a distance, they may seem rather ordinary, but up close their down-to-earth
jokes and quirky sense of humour is refreshing & entertaining. They are
incongruously fit for each-other, and as strange as that oxymoron
sounds; this is what makes them so good to watch on stage.

These two Rock n Roll dropouts first made their transition from music
to Musical Comedians in the JJJ Raw Comedy Competition in February 2005.
And in May 2005, they Independently Recorded, Released and Launched
their Debut, 10-Track Album “Doin' it for the Fat Kids” and have sold 600 copies exclusively at gigs.

Australia's Premier Musical Comedy Act. The Laundromats. These guys are performing up to ten times a week which shows an amazing sense of dedication to success, and their fans. They have just completed recording their newest addition to their Discography, which will be Independently released in the coming months, they are playing hard at the best venues in the country constantly

The Laundro Bio

Please allow me to introduce two guys? Shane and Kris ??The Laundromats'.
At a distance, they may seem rather ordinary, but up close their down-to-earth
jokes and quirky sense of humour is refreshing and entertaining. They are
incongruously fit for each-other, and as strange as that oxymoron
sounds; this is what makes them so good to watch on stage.

These two Rock n Roll dropouts first made their transition from original music
to Musical Comedians in the Raw Comedy Competition in February 2005.
And in May 2005, they Independently Recorded, Released and Launched
their Debut, 10-Track Album ?Doin' it for the Fat Kids? and have sold almost
600 copies exclusively at gigs.

?The Laundromats' completed their first Tour of Melbourne in September last
year and recently returned from their first Sydney Tour in February 2006. And
the Comedians they have worked with over the last year reads like a virtual
?Who's Who' of Comedy: Wil Anderson, Orny Adams, Akmal Saleh, Mickey D,
Garry Who, Jimmy Poulos, Greg Sullivan, Charlie Pickering, Paul Brasch,
Denise Scott and Lindsay Webb. After being involved in the industry for only a
short while, the following accolades have already been bestowed on our
two unlikely comic heroes?

Stopped in to listen to some of your hi'jynxes and had a good laugh, thanks for that.

Have you thoughts about doing a new album?

Thought... Not thoughts.

But I suppose thoughts as in multiple would be required to deliver a full album of cynical and family humour.

I bet if the three of us shared a large bottle of scotch and discussed the ironies of humankind, we'd have an albums worth of material by morning provided we pay a secretary to record all of our conversations.

I should try that.... Mic up the entire house and just hit record at a social gathering.

I bet you've tried that:)
