See Augie March at St Jeromes Laneway Festival 2009 when they play Brisbane, Perth and Melbourne this January/February. Full dates here.

Hello again, Thanks to everyone that came along to the shows on this Australian tour so far. Sydney was sold out and a great big epic of a gig. Perth too was unreal in the regal ol' Regal Theatre, on a weird day of torrential rain - an almost-forgotten experience for Victorians.

Augie March's fourth album 'WATCH ME DISAPPEAR' is now in stores after debuting at #4 on the ARIA Charts. Much as we'd love to tell you all about the songs, the lyrics, the musicianship, the artwork, and so on, we invite you to find them all out for yourself. As it should be.

The single of 'Pennywhistle' will be available in stores from this Saturday 27 September. The single also includes the album title track 'Watch Me Disappear', and a non-album track named 'Toorak Fires'. The 'Pennywhistle' video will be on television and computer screens in the next week. The song itself is now being played on a shipload of radio stations across the continent - listen out for it.

If you pre-order the Limited Edition flexitray version now from JB Hi-Fi, your copy will be signed by the band... though this offer is limited and stocks are soon to last no longer. Alternately, if you were to preorder now on iTunes, you will receive the brand new single 'Pennywhistle' instantly, plus two exclusive tracks - 'The Good Ship Austria', and 'The Weaving Mind' (only available on preorder).

Augie March have spent the past 18 months or so variously writing and recording their new album 'Watch Me Disappear' in Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney and LA, plus touring North America, and now its time for a tour! The Watch Me Disappear Tour hits the cities for a series of shows in October and November.

Listen out for Augie's track 'One Crowded Hour' on the official ad for Earth Hour 2008. Originating last year, Earth Hour is an initiative to take action on climate change in which everyone is encouraged to switch off their lights for one hour this Saturday, March 29 in 24 cities around the world, starting at 8pm.
