History Music / TheLas

'''The La's''' were a very underrated AlternativeRock band hailing from Liverpool, England, known for their {{Retraux}} sound and their hit single "There She Goes". The La's released a critically-acclaimed SelfTitledAlbum in 1990, but because lead singer Lee Mavers was an extreme perfectionist and due to conflicts betweeen the band, they broke up shortly after the release and hated and disowned the final result. Every other release they've done since has been compilation albums and live material. Today, The La's are labeled as a debated codifier of the Britpop genre, and many bands such as Music/{{Oasis}} and Music/{{Travis}} have labeled them as an influence.

* {{Retraux}}: The La's sound like a 1960s/1970s pop/rock band.

* RerecordTheSong: The version of "There She Goes" on ''The La's'' album (the one you are most likely familiar with) is actually different than the original single version, having a slower sound and a lower pitch.

* BlackSheepHit: Lee Mavers sings VERY differently on "There She Goes".

* EarWorm: Oooooh yes. Nearly every one of their songs are likely to get stuck in your heard, "There She Goes", "Liberty Ship" and "Son of a Gun" especially.
