The band initially broke through with 1997sUnder the Western Freeway and the NME-praised single Summer Here Kids. The bands sound, atmosphericelectronics meet warped Americana, crystallized on 2000s Sophtware Slump, which was met with breathless hype and earned the band Next Big Thing status. Tireless rounds of international touring and mountains of fawning press led to 2003sSumday, increasing album sales, more touring, more press, TV appearances, and a slot on the main stage at the Glastonbury festival. The band produced another EP, and an album entitled Just Like the FamblyCat, before disbanding in 2006. Following a brief live reunion in 2012, Grandaddy fully returned in 2017 with Last Place, their first album in over a decade, which was embraced by fans and acclaimed by critics. A sold-out tour was cut short by the unexpected death of Kevin Garcia, and all future plans were canceled indefinitely. In 2025, Grandaddy will rise again for its first North American tour in over 20 years in celebration of the 25th Anniversary of their landmark album The Sophtware Slump. KGAR 4EVR
