The La's were a Liverpool-based band of the late 1980s and early 1990s, consisting of Lee Mavers (vocals), John Power (bass, backing vocals) plus a series of guitarists and drummers.
The band attracted little notice at the time of their first single (Way Out, released in October 1987), but had some success as a live act. Fame came in 1990 with the release of their self-titled album and the re-release of the 1988 single There She Goes, which reached number 13 in the charts.
However, Mavers was never comfortable with media attention or with the results of their recording sessions. Amid rumours that he had vowed not to record any new material until after the first had been re-recorded to his satisfaction, delays mounted. In fact no work was ever done on a second album, and the de facto breakup of The La's came when Power formed a new group, Cast, in 1993. "Cast" is the last word of Lookin' Glass, the last song on The La's album.
