Now i have to say it has been a long time coming. I love The Like, and have eagerly been awaiting their follow up album to 2006's Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking.
In Early 2008, In London, Z Berg, Charlotte Froom and Tennessee Williams recorded their tracks for the next album. They had fun, they made fireworks, they took a cardboard cut out of Tina Turner and it all looked like things were going to be great.
Here are some of their Photo's from that time:
So what happened after that?
Well they said they were going to take a little break. Which they did, after 2 or so years of touring they needed it.
They did a few gigs as well, tested the new songs and so on.
They also did some DJ work with friends:
And Z did an acoustic set on her own:
But then Myspace went quiet. The fan message board moved and was also quiet. Every fan wanted the new album, Even my Friend DS, a strong Muse fan who i dragged to their Only gig in Dublin couldn't wait for the new album.
The Song Realse Me was performed acoustically on a radio station and the fans ripped it and loved it.
It sat on there myspace for ages racking up the listened counter.
The page became beset with spam and the girls rarely popped by.
But then recently, out of nowhere, new music, new line up, new layout, and gigs!
The Like 2.0 Were born.
Charlotte Froom the Bass Player and partial backing vocalist, an old friend of all of them was now gone. After years together they split.
This was them when they were only young:
What happened to her and her hot pants i don't know but it was a shame.
How sad that friendships devide or whatever happened:
But With Charlotte gone there is now Reni Lane on the Organ and Laena Geronimo on Bass.
Here is what The Like 2.0 looks like:
Z Berg
Reni Lane:
Teneessee Williams:
Practicing some new tunes:
Resting and possing all at the same time:
So with the future and a new album on the way, let's hope there is more fun antics:

so happy they're back,
i heard "wishing he was dead" on Mark Ronson's "Authentic Shit", and fell in love with the song. Any idea where I can purchase it or download it?
please and thanks
their myspace has the songs, but not downloadable. The Song Fair Game is available for Download when you join their mailing list at Ilikethelike.com. I provided links at the end of this blog post.
I saw these amazing ladies in New Orleans tonight; they opened for Arctic Monkeys at the House of Blues... WOW!! I liked them better! They played a short set, and I would have been happy for another half hour of The Like. I wanted to buy their CD upstairs but all the merch was Arctic Monkeys (so I bought theirs instead) - I just want to get some music from The Like... sure hope they come back here, I don't think I have been WOWED by a band like this in a while. I really love these ladies!!
