About Lee Mavers
Lee Antony Mavers (born 2 August 1962) is an English musician, best known for being the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist in the La's. == The La's == Mavers gained a reputation for perfectionism and eccentricity particularly due to the fraught recording of their debut album. Obsessing over the group's troubled recording efforts between 1987 and 1992, Mavers eventually retreated to his Liverpool home after the release of the La's' eponymous debut album, his perception of the music industry soured by the fact the release was not a version of the album he had wished to be made public. More silence in the music press followed, aside from one 1995 NME interview. Mavers was at this point occasionally playing with other Liverpool musicians. Mavers disavowed the album in print while struggling to maintain his artistic integrity. In late 2003 a book about Mavers and his band was released, In Search of the La's: A Secret Liverpool. In this book the author tracked down Mavers, via connections, to his home in Liverpool. The book culminated in a rare interview with Mavers discussing his band and what he intends to do with his music. While providing insight into Mavers' personality, the book ends on an ambiguous note concerning his return to music.
