I like The Like. That’s cool. Do you like The Like? Yes? Very cool. It would be wicked cool if everybody liked The Like. The Like are an indie rock band formed in September 2001 by Elizabeth “Z” Berg (vocals/guitar), Charlotte Froom (bass/vocals), and Tennessee Thomas (drums). In 2002, they released their first EP, “I Like The Like”, followed in ’03 “And The Like”,and in ’04 by “Like It Or Not”. They are based in Los Angeles.

Following their high school graduation in ’04, The Like signed with Geffen Records. Their debut full length CD “Are You Thinking What I’m Thinking?” came out September 13, 2005. “Z” (on the right below) composes the lyrics.

Froom has left the band, replaced by Laena Geronimo on bass. and The Like is now a quartet; adding Annie Monroe (organ). Berg and Thomas are daughters of music industry veterans, Berg’s father is former Geffen record producer Tony Berg, and Thomas’ father is Pete Thomas, longtime drummer for Elvis Costello. They have toured with Tori Amos, Phantom Planet, and Kings of Leon, and currently on tour with the Arctic Monkeys.

I am eagerly awaiting their new CD, “Release Me” due out on Downtown Music, June 15^th.
