Liverpool band The La's are best known for their hit, "There She Goes", which went to #49 on the US singles chart in 1990. It has since been covered by many others, perhaps most successfully by the Sixpence None The Richer, who took the song to #32 in 1999. Bassist and backing vocalist John Power left The La's to form a new band called Cast in 1992.
Similar to much of the material done by The La's, Power pulled out all the stops to make Cast sound like an authentic 60s rock band. Their debut album, "All Change" arrived in 1995 amidst a number of others constituting the Brit-pop wave like Oasis and The Verve.
Cast performed very well in the UK, but unlike their counterparts, didn't make it in the States. With songs like "Alright", it is hard to figure out why.
