A Los Angeles group whose 2002 song became the theme for The O.C.
If you only know 'California,' try 'Making A Killing' next. It gives you a better sense of what they do.
For a lot of people, Phantom Planet is the band that gave us 'California,' the theme song for The O.C. That track alone put them in living rooms every week. But their catalog runs deeper, with songs like 'Making A Killing' showing a different side of their sound.
They started in 1994 as a local L.A. band playing clubs and basement shows. After 'California' hit in 2002, they put out albums like 'The Guest' and 'Raise the Dead,' and kept going even after Jason Schwartzman left in 2007.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
