The La's Hop on the Reunion Bandwagon
Joel Ebner reports:
With all of these earth-shaking reunions under way-- Slint, the Pixies,
Roxy Music-- this one is virtually the most unlikely: The La's are
reforming. For those of you who may have skipped over these guys during
your Britpop mythology lesson, allow us to fill in the blanks. The La's
were hot in 1990, known best for having produced the hit "There She
Goes", a lovely tune that worked the UK charts and subsequently wound up
on every twentysomething romantic comedy soundtrack for the next five
years. However, tension and the mental health of leader Lee Mavers
plagued the band while recording of the follow-up to their self-titled
debut, resulting in an unfortunate and premature breakup.
But it's been a while, and things are different now, right? According to
NME, co-founders Mavers and John Power (Cast) have been on the
up-and-up, spotted out and about together and writing new songs. So far,
large-scale tour plans are only rumored, though they have one confirmed
show at the Summer Sonic festival in Japan this August.
I hope this means that Mavers is off smack.
