Hopelessly Hip

image

The Like sure are pretty—and sometimes it’s hard to look past the three pretty blonde gals with perfectly ethereal style. The Los Angeles quartet—Elizabeth “Z” Berg, Laena Geronimo, Tennessee Thomas and Annie Monroe–formed in 2001 when the original members (Berg, Thomas and Charlotte Froom) were just 15 and 16.

The three gals had the right mix going for them: Having been immersed in rock since childhood (Froom’s father being producer Mitchell Froom and Thomas’ father, Pete Thomas, is the drummer for Elvis Costello) and also taken music lessons from a young age.

Though the girls are often associated with the Angeleno hopelessly hip(ster) crowd, the Like share a sound akin to their look: Sweet, slightly sassy… flower indie pop rock.

Bonus: Chris Ziegler, editor of LA Record and former OC Weekly music editor, will be DJing!
