Notes:

La Paz were formed in Lanarkshire, Scotland in the early 1980's by Chic McSherry, Doogie White and Alex Carmichael. In 2008 La Paz reformed for fun and to raise money to help disadvantaged kids go to school in La Paz, Mexico

They did their last gig on 15th October 1988 and then Doogie moved to London to join Midnite Blue, Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, Cornerstone, Yngwie Malmsteen and now the mighty Tank. That was pretty much that for La Paz, apart from a single reunion gig about a year after the split and a brief appearance at a Glasgow rock club on Chic's 40th birthday.

And then legendary DJ Tom Russell of 96.3 Rock Radio called Doogie and asked him if he would do some acoustic numbers at The Garage in Glasgow for Rock Radio's Birthday Bash in January 2008. Doogie agreed and asked Chic to play guitar. It was a big ask after 20 years: almost 1000 people, Doogie singing alone and Chic with one flamenco guitar!

Chic: "Recording started in early 2011 and culminated in 'Granite': the album that we should have made back in the day. It has six of the live favourites as well as three brand new tracks. The album a release on 13th February 2012 in Europe and 6th March 2012 in USA (via MVD).
