Laura Macfarlane, formerly known as Lora Macfarlane, is a Scottish-born rock and roll musician, singer and songwriter based in Australia. Originally from Glasgow, she arrived with her parents in Perth when young, and was involved in a number of bands there from the late 1980s onward, including The Brautigans. She relocated to Melbourne in the early 1990s, playing with hardcore punk band Manic Pizza and forming The Sea Haggs/Keckle (involving long-time collaborator Iain McIntyre) and Popemobile (with Ben Butler). In 1995, she went to Seattle and briefly played drums in Riot Grrl band Sleater-Kinney; she appears on their self-titled album, which contains a track titled "Lora's Song". She subsequently returned to Melbourne and founded ninetynine, initially as a solo project. Ninetynine soon became a band, and have since released four albums and toured the world's indie scenes many times. Laura Macfarlane is best known for playing the vibraphone and Casiotone keyboards, though also plays drums and guitar. She has played with numerous bands, including Clag, Disaster Plan and New Buffalo.
