ah ok that's it : Cast was formed in 1993 by
John Power, the former bassist of
The La's. They released four albums between 1995 and 2001. Cast were at the height of their popularity during the mid-90's Britpop movements. Whilst popular, they were seen as one of the "lesser" bands of the moment, often overshadowed by the likes of more popular bands such as
Blur,
Oasis and
Pulp. It has been suggested that the name "Cast" was taken from the final line of the final song on The La's eponymous (and only) album. The song "Looking Glass" ends with the line ""The stone is cast, the glass is smashed".
the la la la la the la la la's!! oh what's that? never crossed this road but i'll try to figure it out at the time.. unless anyone knows?
