The Meeting Places emerged in the Los Angeles indie music scene as a post-punk influenced shoegaze band, enchanting listeners with their atmospheric soundscapes and wistful melodies. With origins dating back to the early 2000s, the group was formed by four friends—Chase Harris (vocals, guitar), Dean Yoshihara (drums), Scott McDonald (guitar), and Arthur Chan (bass)—who shared a love for the dreamy textures and underlying noise-pop elements reminiscent of '90s UK shoegaze bands.

While they may have flown under the radar of the mainstream, The Meeting Places have carved out a loyal following with their tight-knit performances and evocative recordings. Their debut album "Find Yourself Along The Way" (2003) laid the foundation for their signature aesthetic, an evocative blend of hazy vocals and lush, swirling guitars that established them within the shoegaze revival movement. Subsequent releases like "Numbered Days" (2006) and the more recent single "You and I" demonstrate the band's commitment to the genre, refining their sound while maintaining the enchanting mood that has charmed a generation of shoegaze enthusiasts. The Meeting Places continue to keep the spark of shoegaze alive, offering a nostalgic stroll through misty sonic landscapes for those willing to lose themselves in their music.
