I heard(from a reliable source)that it was Lee who insisted that the drummers play standing up.Think about it.They have a drummer who can only play standing up,he leaves and then his replacement can also only play while standing up?Quite a big coinsidence isn't it?How many drummers can you think of who can only play standing up?I don't know any.
Not quite true. He wouldn't play whole gigs standing up but he would play Sister Madly standing up almost every time this was played live. Also any time the band played an acoustic type show with minimal instruments, he would almost always play the entire set using his stand up kit (snare drum, small crash cymbal & brushes), stood up, in between Neil and Nick, So he absolutely could and did play standing up, no question there.
he's the same colour as the hulk mid change from the old tv series..scary.stay away from the brown powder from the east kids!wish they'd release some more stuff.anyone got a copy of the kitchen or crescent tapes?
i realy don't think that these can be classed as a band anymore. I mean the amount of guitraists and drummers they have had. Mike Badger formed them. Plus Lee MAvers took too much heroin in his life
I'm a massive La's fan and a BIG fan oh Lee's songwriting but this performance and quite a few from the 2005 shows is pretty ragged.I can't understand why Lee insisted that the drummer played standing up?
One of the best pop songs ever written. Period.
I was looking for that songs like 2 months! Finally I found it. It's sooo good, I listen to it non-stop.

They can play seated but lee like the look of standing & has a theory about it.
Slim Jim phantom stray cats
Paul would play a couple of songs standing up(more for visual effect than anything)but he couldn't/didn't only play standing up.
They got back together but there wasnt any talk of a new album. After touring they split up again

@wewillovercomeify
you're kidding, aren't you?
who stole the drummers stool or is it skiffle chic
He didn't. In fact he hated it and then when that guy left they got a replacement who could only play standing up also.
mavers in this song looks just like lou reed

No, not at all. He had dental surgery, was in much pain but carried on. Most would have cxed show I imagine.
