Jae Laffer is recognised as one of Australia’s finest songwriters; with The Panics and solo, he has crafted
several albums worth of classic songs that embrace both stark intimacy and unapologetic grandeur. The
Panics were discovered by Manchester’s Happy Mondays and went on to win an ARIA and Triple J
‘Album of the Year’ for the gold selling ‘Cruel Guards’ and platinum single ‘Don't Fight It’. The band have
recorded six albums, toured the globe and continue to hold a unique place in Australian music.
Laffer recently released his third solo album in 2024 and is currently completing his fourth.
See him on July 17th at The Punters Club, Fitzroy supported by Jules Sheldon & The Boundary Riders. 9:30pm start and entry is free.
“Jae Laffer’s vivid songs have a voice of their own - Modern hymns for a generation, anthems of rash joy
and quiet heartbreak”- Daily Mail UK
“Laffer has always been a rich and evocative storyteller, whether he’s narrating small-town road trips or
reflecting on those halcyon days hanging out in his native Perth”. Rolling Stone Magazine
“You know how normally when you hear a band you can list the bands that influenced them or that they
ripped off straight away? We couldn't do it for them. They sounded like nothing I'd heard before – really
melodic, atmospheric." - Nathan Followill (Kings of Leon), Rolling Stone Mag USA
