Trivia / The La's

• Creator Breakdown: Said to be the reason a second La's album was never made - Lee Mavers just couldn't get the sound in his head on to record.
• He Also Did: Original lead singer Mike Badger is also a reknowned fine artist who designed the artwork for Tin Planet by fellow Liverpudlians Space.
  • Bassist John Power also went on to lead Britpop outfit Cast.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: There's an extravagance of La's music never officially released but available on bootlegs, or nowadays, YouTube. There's the Kitchen tape - Lee Mavers and band running through half a dozen unreleased songs in 1989 - and the Crescent tape - Lee demoing his second album to a local band in 1998. Then there's tons of live gigs, soundboards, and radio sessions never to see an official release. For a band known for one song with one album, the tapes circulated by fans of this band are surprisingly numerous.
