The title of the third track is "Summer... It's Gone," but it may as well read "Here Lie Grandaddy." This is it, (summer here) kids: the end of the line for one of the best indie pop bands of the last decade. In some ways, Grandaddy, we hardly knew ye.

By Steve English (CHARTattack) November 9, 2004 3:02 pm
Anyone familiar with the work of Jason Lytle, he of pastoral indie types Grandaddy, shouldn’t be surprised that his handpicked mixtapes are short on Pantera or Master P and long on like-minded slow-rollers like Giant Sand and Beulah. These 14 selections (plus one new Grandaddy tune) have the warm, enveloping comfortableness of a favourite sweater...

It's Wednesday on one of the few weeks during the year that's interrupted by those pesky holiday Mondays. As usual, the weather was lousy. I think we should move this long weekend to early in June so we can have a fighting chance for some decent weather. I didn't see any fireworks because of the combination of clouds and freezing cold...

New Releases: Grandaddy Just Like Fambly One Last Time

in
By CHARTattack Staff May 8, 2006 5:00 pm
I'm really and truly sad that Tuesday marks the end of Grandaddy, one of the best bands of this generation. Through four albums, they've become indie pop elite and will be missed. Do yourself a big favour and pick up their farewell disc, Just Like The Fambly Cat. While you're at it, buy Under The Western Freeway, The Sophtware Slump and...

Chris Martin and the boys of Coldplay are due to make their return from illness this June and opening for them on the rescheduled dates are Grandaddy. For those unfamiliar, American and U.K. critics alike quickly pegged them as the new Radiohead when they released The Sophtware Slump last year through V2. This opportunity could bring the...

Already hailed as musical geniuses and The New Radiohead for their independently-released debut album, Under the Western Freeway, Modesto California's Grandaddy continue to impress with their jangled, patched-together lo-fi sounds on The Sophtware Slump, their official major label debut on V2. When Grandaddy are boiled down to their basic...
