The La's were a Liverpool-based band of the late 1980s and early 1990s consisting of eccentric frontman Lee Mavers (vocals) and John Power (bass, backing vocals), plus a series of guitarists and drummers. The band wrote the original version of the famous pop song "There She Goes".

The band, named after the Scouse for "lads" as well of the obvious musical connotations of "la", attracted the attention of several record labels after a series of performances in their home town of Liverpool in 1986. Bootleg demo tapes copied from a session at the Flying Picket rehearsal studio in Liverpool in 1986 began circulating. After several record labels heard these and offered recording contracts, the band chose to sign with Go! Discs.
