The La's

[ruotal]

Looking for some live concerts, audio or video, for the recent La's gigs. Glastonbury maybe?

 

Not seeing anything on any torrent sites as of yet...

[stevemah]

yeah i'd like to get hold of some live stuff too.

 

got their album ages ago, sounds fantastic. love lee mavers voice

[Acquiesce]

They don't have a thread yet ? :o

 

Well , their album is amazing !!

 

and for people who don't know The La's , It's the band of the song 'there she goes' ;)

[bee_panda]

What other songs would you suggest?

[squareonefivesix]

^ well there's really only their debut album and a bunch of rare demos/bsides to listen too really, they were quite a short-lived but fairly inspirational band at the time.

 

Son of A Gun is a good 'un. Plus there's more on youtube.

I got into them by Noel , (:rolleyes:)

He loves the La's and the bands he hates , I hate too ...

So I thought I would like the La's too ...

and yes :)

Love this song. It's immensely catchy. Better than most the bands on WOM thread no doubt. Criminal that only one album was released!

[squareonefivesix]

you ?

 

well, I'm old enough to remember the album coming out (and buying it on cassette tape ;) ) & hearing There She Goes and the other singles on the radio all the time.

 

The La's, The Stone Roses, The Wonder Stuff, James, Kingmaker - there were lots of bands like that at the time that were a perfect antidote to all the dance/acid/house type music that seemed to be everywhere then. I guess it was bands like that that shaped my musical tastes pretty early on :D

 

So, do you guys like Cast aswell then?

Cast as in John Power's, La's bassist, band? I don't own any of there albums but seeing as you mentioned them I'll certainly check them out.

 

I heard rumours regarding Mavers planning a second La's album (that was a year ago now) but The La's are only the La's with Power and Mavers I feel and maybe with Chris Sharrock on the drums (Oasis's live drummer for their Dig Out Your Soul and OFFICIAL Beady Eye member nowadays!)

[squareonefivesix]

Yep, John Power's Cast. I only have All Change from 1995, has some good singles on it, it's very Brit-poppy. I haven't heard much of their other stuff.

 

And yeah, it'd have to be Mavers/Powers together to make a decent comeback imo. But then there's been a few La's resurrections, it never really seems to take off for them tho :(

 

 

 

Oh and Noemie, if you like checking out Noel's reccommendations, try The Coral too. Noel LOVES them :D

Recall they performed at Glastonbury in 2005 which went down well. Shame they haven't ever actually gotten into the studio again though.

[eff-exx]

There She Goes is pretty nice. :wacko:

[Acquiesce]

So , they're together again :wacky:

 

Playing 'rock en seine' in Paris , I hope they will play other shows too ! :awesome:

 

Anyone going ?

I've always thought that was for the best tbh, wouldn't want to see them make their 'Second Coming'.

[mathieu_c]

Ah, didn't know they were performing together again. It's a one album/hit band, but a good one at that.

Awesome! If Lee Mavers is there then it's worth going!

[squareonefivesix]

I thought it was just Lee Mavers at these few latest La's resurrection gigs, rather than the band actually getting back together ? :\ I'd still love to see it tho.

 

Was watching this a few weeks ago, it's old but still brilliant -

All I can say is thank you! Never seen this video before but I know I'll be seeing it a lot more after you posted it! :D Those vocals are probably amongst the best if not the best I've ever heard! Amazing!
