Panics on the streets of Manchester

Don’t miss: The Panics — guitarist and songwriter in chief, Jae Laffer, brothers Drew (guitarist) and Myles Wooton (drummer), Paul Otway on bass and multi-instrumentalist Jules Douglas.

Where? Club Academy, Manchester, on Sunday.

Why? Sun-kissed acoustic guitars, string arrangements, shuffling drums — The Panics are the epitome of laid back Australian cool. They count Oasis and Happy Mondays as huge fans. The Panics — who took their name from a Smiths song — have a deep-rooted love for Manchester music and recently supported Morrissey.
