about
The Southland is a rock band from Los Angeles, California, USA. The band was formed by Jed Whedon and Nicholas Gusikoff. They soon came to the attention of manager Joe Ruffalo, who had previously worked with artists such as Prince, Earth, Wind & Fire, Little Feat, and Ray Parker Jr. The Southland was signed to Ruffalo’s label Ruffworld Records and soon expanded their lineup by adding Danny Chaimson on keyboards and vocals, Ethan Phillips on bass guitar, and Andy Crosby on drums. The Southland's debut album, Influence of Geography, was released in June 2005. They tour regularly, and have supported artists such as Toots & The Maytals, O.A.R., Gavin DeGraw, Tristan Prettyman, Jem, Virginia Coalition, Steel Pulse, and As Fast As. The song Shadow from the album Influence of Geography appeared on NBC-TV's Scrubs in late February 2006. Jed Whedon has had a number of other musical projects, including co-writing Dr. Horrible - a musical that he also orchestrated, Jed Whedon and the Willing, and most recently This Girl.
