The La De Da's formed in Auckland in 1963 (first as The Mergers). They enjoyed reasonable success in both New Zealand and Australia, spanning the decades and changes in rock sounds, until their split in 1975. I have included two tracks here, the first is from their earlier pop psych days in NZ, and as a demonstration of how they changed, the next track is from their final album which was recorded in Australia after they had adopted the prevalent boogie blues style of bands like Chain and Buster Brown. Original guitarist extraordinaire Kevin Borich continued after the La De Da's with Kevin Borich Express and The Party Boys, won many Australian awards and played with many notable names like Renee Geyer (see Vol71).
