For over three decades the brothers have exhibited in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, USA and Asia.

Shadowland is Dog Trumpet’s brand new album. A distinctive blending of psychedelia, folk and blues, the album probes the perils and absurdities of human existence, kicking off with the title track Shadowland, a nervous musing on digital over-surveillance; followed by Nina Simone, a song reflecting on romance and memory. F***ing Idiots points out the shameful idiocy of our addiction to war and militarism; The Ballad of Clayton Looby is an anti-establishment ode to a larrikin surfer. “Shadowland” our eighth album to be released on the 4th November 2022 on Vinyl, CD and digitally worldwide via Demon Music Group. New single “Nina Simone” out 7/10/22.
