The Like is a rock band from Southern California, consisting of Elizabeth "Z" Berg (vocals/guitar), Charlotte Froom (bass/vocals) and Tennessee Thomas (drums/vocals).

Basic information

The Like formed in September of 2001. The band members are all daughters of music industry veterans, with Z's father being former Geffen A&R man/record producer Tony Berg, Charlotte's father as producer Mitchell Froom and Tennessee's father Pete Thomas, longtime drummer for Elvis Costello.

They formed when childhood friends Tennessee and Charlotte learned that Z had been writing songs and showed interest in forming a band. Charlotte learned bass two weeks before joining, and the three began working together, getting fast results, especially considering that they formed the band when they were 15

The name comes from a habit that the girls, as many do, have of saying "like" all the time. Tennessee's mother suggested it and it stuck.

Music

The Like are part of a Los Angeles music scene which includes bands such as Maroon 5, Rooney, and Phantom Planet, who the band has supported on various tours. Since they formed, the band has drawn some major media attention, including being featured in magazines such as Teen People and Rolling Stone.

Their song "(So I’ll Sit Here) Waiting" was featured on the soundtrack for the movie Thirteen.

They recently toured with Tori Amos on her "Summer of Sin" tour, and are scheduled to begin a tour with Kings of Leon.

The Like released their first album Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking? through Geffen on September 13, 2005. The album is a combination of reworked songs previously released on their independent EPs as well as new material.
