The Meeting Places
The Meeting Places was founded in September 2001 in Los Angeles, California by four guitarists, including Scott McDonald (Closedown, Alison’s Halo and Brad Laner’s post-Medicine project, Amnesia), the architect of the quartet’s signature reverberating washes. Dean Yoshihara soon shifted to drum kit, Arthur Chan lent his talents to bass guitar, and singer and lyricist Chase Harris remained on rhythm guitar.

In Autumn 2002 the band recorded their debut album (Find Yourself Along the Way) at The Ship with Aaron Espinoza, the famed musician (Earlimart) and producer (The New Folk Implosion, Eliot Smith, The Breeders). Each member contributed to the songwriting process (Dean and Arthur picking up the guitar again for passages in “Take to the Sun” and “On Our Own” respectively). Find Yourself Along the Way is a stream of peerless compositions that inconspicuously tours the best of the early 1990s dream pop scene. But, due in large part to Harris’ deliciously nonchalant voice, the songwriting progresses from that scene with momentum towards a sparkling style of noise-pop that is equally memorable and provocative. 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 (Grandaddy, Earlimart) 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. The album will be released worldwide on Words On Music in early Autumn 2006.
The Meeting Places has performed live extensively in California, including the 2003 San Francisco Noise-Pop Festival. They also played at South By Southwest in Austin, Texas in both 2003 and 2005.
In the late summer of 2008 The Meeting Places returned from a two-year hiatus. New songs are currently being worked on, as well as live shows throughout Los Angeles
Scott McDonald left the band in late 2010 and was replaced by Matt Gleason in early 2011. Currently in the early stages of writing new songs for a L.P.

Now I Know You Could Never Be the One
by The Meeting Places
How can it all be out of my hands
Throw up a coin and live how it lands
There are rules, there are rules
And I’ll learn them all somehow
I’m a fool, I’m a fool
That it has taken me until now
A mixed-up puzzle afraid to change
Break me into pieces to rearrange
There were times, there were times
That I thought you were the sun
Now I know, now I know
You could never be the one
Same Lies As Yesterday
Turn off the key and shut me down
I’m the worst part of this town
Close your eyes for all to see
We will know you’ll still see me
All I want you to do
Is find the things that I’ve lost in you
All I want you to say
Are the same lies you told yesterday, today
Close the door and step outside
I’m not ready for this ride
I hear the words you always say
They don’t mean a thing today
All I want you to do
Is find the things that I’ve lost in you
All I want you to say
Are the same lies you told yesterday, today
