La's Reunion?

LA'S BROADCAST?
THE LAâ??S are set to reform at this yearâ??s SUMMER SONIC festival.
The band have been announced on the bill for the Japanese event, which is due to take place in Tokyo between August 13-14.
The groupâ??s founder members Lee Mavers and John Power were spotted out in their hometown of Liverpool early last year and revealed that they were writing together again, prompting rumours of a reunion.
The Laâ??s shot to fame in 1990 upon the release of their self-titled debut album, which also boasted the single â??There She Goesâ??.
However, during sessions for their second album, Power - who went on to form Cast - left the band and The Laâ??s dissolved.
It is as yet unconfirmed as to whether The Laâ??s will be playing any other events this summer.
Summer Sonic 2005 will also feature Oasis, Nine Inch Nails, Weezer and The Black Crowes.

I'm just wondering if one-hit-wonders actually have "reunions" or just try again?

La's announce tour dates
By SIMON ROTHSTEIN
Sun Online
LEGENDARY Liverpudlian indie band The La's are set to play a three-date UK reunion tour.
The group split in 1992 when bassists John Power left in acrimonious circumstances to form Cast.
But John and lead singer Lee Mavers became close again last year and will be joined by on stage by guitarist Jay Lewis and drummer Nick Miniski.
The band will play Sheffield Leadmill on June 13, Manchester Ritz on June 14 and London Shepherds Bush Empire on June 15, before heading to Tokyo to play the Summer Sonic Festival.
The La's â?? whose biggest hit was There She Goes â?? are also rumoured to be appearing as the special guests of Oasis at this year's V Festival.

Can an AHA reunion be far behind?
I heard that the LAS were one of Johnny Depp's favorite bands. Can't get much more cred than that.

I don't know? Maybe we should ask Mike Scott for the definitive answer. He's been living off 'Whole Of The Moon' for an eternity. :p
