Timeline

2019

In 2019 he joined the touring lineup of LAMF, a band fronted by Walter Lure of The Heartbreakers which also featured Mick Rossi, former guitarist of Slaughter & The Dogs. This band played several gigs, including an appearance at the Rebellion Festival in Blackpool.

2007

Laff briefly reunited with Vic Godard in 2007 to re-record Subway Sect's previously unreleased debut album under the title 1978 Now.

2006

In 2006 Laff re-recorded the song 'Hot Seat' with Derwood Andrews to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the release of Empire's Expensive Sound L.P., which was re-released on the Expansive Sound Volume II compilation L.P.

2004

Laff retired from professional music in 2004, and went into business as the director of a holistic lifestyle therapy company in Brighton in East Sussex.

2001

The Ride L.P. would not see the light of day until 2001 when it was put out by Revel Yell Music as a retrospective release under the title Twenty Flight Rockers. In 2004 'Revel Yell' released a second retrospective L.P. from the band entitled Twenty Flight Rockers - The New York Sessions 1988.

1993

On 20 September 1993, during Billy Idol's No Religion tour, Mark Laff played with a re-formed Generation X in a reunion concert at the Astoria Theatre in London's West End.

1985

In 1985 Laff founded a new retro rock & roll/rockabilly band called Twenty Flight Rockers with the singer/frontman Gary Twinn. The band released via ABC Records the single 'Tower Block Rock' (1985) (ranked #31 for Best Single of that year by Rockerilla Magazine, but making no impact on the U.K. Singles' Chart), and another single entitled 'Johnny 7' via WEA Records in 1986, which was also a commercial failure. In March 1986 the band released the song 'Searching for a Hero' in cassette format on a compilation L.P. advertising new bands entitled Spools Gold, given away free with the Record Mirror. Bernie Rhodes, who Laff knew back from his early days with Subway Sect was hired to manage them, and arranged the signing of the band with Epic Records. The band recorded a series of sessions, and a self-produced studio album entitled Ride, which was scheduled for commercial release in 1988, however Epic Records in the meantime was bought out by Sony, which subsequently opted to drop the band from the label, leading to Twenty Flight Rockers breaking up.

1980

After leaving Generation X Laff and Andrews played together as session musicians on Jimmy Pursey's solo long-player, Imagination Camouflage. In mid-1980 they set up a new band entitled Empire, recruiting bassist Simon Bernal to complete the line-up. A single entitled Hot Seat was released, followed by a musically influential but commercially unsuccessful album entitled Expensive Sound. The trio undertook four gigs before Bernal left. After a number of line-up changes of personnel and more concerts, but little commercial success, Laff left Empire's line-up in February 1983, and band was ended by Andrews in 1984.

1977

In April 1977 the 18 year old Laff was recruited as a replacement drummer into the upcoming punk rock band Generation X a few months before it signed to Chrysalis Records and released its first single, Your Generation. He was Generation X's drummer through its two long-players, the self-titled Generation X (1978), followed by Valley of the Dolls (1979); which saw the band amidst a heavy performance schedule across Great Britain gaining momentum, drawing recognition and impacting the British pop music charts with its releases. However, after the relative commercial failure of the Valley of the Dolls long-player, internal disagreements about the band's musical direction and personality clashes within it came to a head in late 1979 during the recording of its abortive third long-player (which would be released retrospectively 20 years later under the title K.M.D. - Sweet Revenge). Lead guitarist Bob "Derwood" Andrews quit the band in December 1979, followed by Laff in January 1980, when he was asked to leave after a disagreement with the act's frontman/singer Billy Idol and bass player Tony James over song-writing credits for the band's recorded work. With Laff and Andrews' departure Generation X essentially came to an end; a re-branded act with a replacement guitarist and drummer subsequently launched by Idol and James went on to fail commercially, and was gone by early 1981.

1960

He began playing drums as a teenager, being influenced by England's 1960's Mod fashion and music movement and the work of Keith Moon. After a failed audition for The Clash (he was one of two drummers to get a call back), his first drumming role was with Subway Sect, sharing the bill with the Sex Pistols, The Clash, and Siouxsie and the Banshees for the Anarchy and White Riot tours, however he left the band shortly afterwards.
