Listen to Grandaddy
posted Friday, 3 February 2006

I'm listening to songs by the group Grandaddy as of this writing...from the album Sumday. These guys are great. Very low-key understated quasi-alt, quasi-country folksy, synth inflected music with tasty little pop hooks from Davis, California, if my memory serves well.
I first heard about these guys when I saw them open for the late Elliot Smith. They started their set by taking what proved to be an annoying (albeit memorable) mechanical bird on a string and setting it in a circular motion, whirling and whirling above the band during the entire set, like a pigeon with OCD.
In any event, I liked their music enough to download some of their albums. Try em, you might like them, too.tags: music grandaddy sumday
