The Meeting Places was founded in September 2001 in Los Angeles, California by Scott McDonald, Chase Harris, Dean Yoshihara, and Arthur Chan. Having a shared interest in music, the four develop synergy and a sound that immediately led to their debut album ‘Find Yourself Along The Way’ recorded at The Ship Studio with Aaron Espinoza. The album appeared on the Top Albums of 2003 lists of several publications around the world, with critics noting the record's crafty juxtaposition of ambience and tunefulness. From late 2005 to early 2006 the quartet recorded their sophomore album with Jim Fairchild, again at The Ship. Numbered Days contains ten luminous new songs that combine infectious, melodic indie-pop with the tremulous soundscapes the band first explored on their 2003 debut. Their music had been featured on various shows including Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill, and was recently included in Season 2 of Netflix's show LOVE. The Meeting Places performed extensively in California, including the 2003 San Francisco Noise-Pop Festival, featured at SXSW (2003 and 2005) and toured Asia in the early '00s. The Meeting Places are once again recording new music to be released in 2019.
