The Hall

Phantom Planet is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1994. The band includes members Alex Greenwald (vocals, rhythm guitar), Darren Robinson (lead guitar), Sam Farrar (bass guitar), and Andrew Parker (drums). Jason Schwartzman, who later pursued a career in acting, was a founding member and served as the band's drummer until 2003. The band is known for their song 'California,' which served as the theme for the television series The O.C. In 2008, they announced an indefinite hiatus, with their last performance before the break taking place in December of that year. The band reunited for select performances between 2011 and 2013 and officially reestablished their activity in 2019.
