The La's is tagged as: britpop, indie, british, rock, indie rock With their chimey guitars and hooky songwriting, Liverpool’s The La’s became one of the most influential one-hit-wonder bands of the 1990’s. Although their early efforts stalled on the charts, the re-release of There She Goes in 1990 predicted the Britpop renaissance that was still years away. The fact that the band disappeared soon after, never issuing a sophomore effort, only enhances their reputation as unlikely pop heroes. Bassist John Power went on to form Cast in 1993… The La’s were for all intents and purposes Lee Mavers and John Power. Lee wrote the songs, had the vision, and provided the general masterplan for what The La’s were about; proper songs, strong melodies. John provided the bass, harmonies and endless amounts of enthusiasm. Most people know The La’s because of one song - ‘There She Goes’, an example of standard pop songwriting that still resonates with the target audience as strongly as it did when originally released in 1988. The La’s wrote many, many more songs and those tunes evoke the memory of Merseybeat, the psychedelic vision of Syd Barrett and capture the time and place in which they were written. The Liverpool Lee Mavers wrote about was a very different place from the one The Beatles knew. Time... Read More About The La's Biography...  Send The La's ringtones to your cell
