On the day, 21 March 1991, legendary Liverpool band The LA’s played Cardiff University. Support was provided by the Milltown Brothers.


Fronted by singer, songwriter and guitarist Lee Mavers, the group are best known for their hit single "There She Goes".


The La's were noted for their distinctly different style to other popular British bands in the late 1980s, such as The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays, who were part of the Madchester movement.


The La's have been cited as influences by Oasis, The Courteeners, The Stone Roses, The Charlatans and The Libertines.


Pitchfork named their debut and only album The La’s as one of the best Britpop albums as part of their 50 Best Britpop Albums list, placing the album at #14.
