Biografia:
Ao lado da Ray Columbus & The Invaders, a La De Da's foi o grupo roqueiro mais popular da Nova Zelândia nos anos 60. Mas, como um peixe grande num pequeno aquário, seu trabalho não resiste a uma comparação na era das grandes bandas americanas e inglesas.
O grupo, porém, gravou alguns números pop garageiros excelentes, no espírito da Rolling Stones da metade da década de 60. Algumas canções ("How Is The Air Up There?" e "All Purpose Low") tornaram-se sucessos neozelandeses, e "On Top Of The World" e "Hey Baby", covers de John Mayall e Bruce Channel, respectivamente, chegaram ao Top Ten. Em 1968, surgiu "The Happy Prince", um disco conceitual infantil, adornado por psicodelia, que guarda semelhança com o pop adocicado moderno. Após uma tentativa frustrada de entrar no mercado britânico, a La De Da's seguiu em frente por algum tempo com um prosaico hard rock que – a exemplo dos seus melhores trabalhos iniciais – se mostrava bastante influenciado pelas tendências ultramarinas (Richie Unterberger; AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês).
