Christopher Walla (b. 1975) is an American musician and music producer, most notable for being the guitarist for the band Death Cab for Cutie. He is also a former DJ of KCWU, 88.1 The Burg. Walla has also been a prolific producer in the Indie rock community, earning production credits on more than a dozen albums in addition to Death Cab for Cutie’s discography. Walla currently resides in Portland, Oregon.
While in high school, Chris was in a short lived band called The Wallflowers, not to be confused with The Wallflowers (of California), and an early member of the Seattle, Washington band The Long Winters.
While Death Cab for Cutie was only considered a solo project of Ben Gibbard, Chris Walla contributed vocals for four of the tracks on the album You Can Play These Songs with Chords, as well as electric guitar. Walla was subsequently recruited as a full member of the band along with Nick Harmer and Jason McGerr.
Walla has a solo project called Martin Youth Auxiliary. Most of these releases, however, have never been fully exposed to the general public. Under this name, one cassette was recorded and released in 1999 on Elsinor Records; only several dozen copies were made. Walla has been claiming that he will release a new MYA record for about four years. Recently he announced that in 2007 he will release an album under this name on Barsuk Records, the previous home of Death Cab for Cutie and many of the bands Walla has worked with or produced. MYA shows are very rare as well, however, they are almost always recorded.

Genevieve is one of my favourite songs at the moment! Chris Walla is amazing and so are Death Cab. I went to see Death Cab a little while back, It would have been cool if Chris had done some of his solo stuff aswell! Just an idea :p
