Who’s your Grandaddy?
Indie bands don’t just get no respect, they usually get no exposure as well. Many a band has come and gone without any notice from the listening public, nor any play on MTV or anything ClearChannel controls. It’s up to the fans to spread the word about a band deserving ear time.
Fortunately, with mass media and the internet, tech-savvy bands have a better time of it than yesteryear’s one hit wonders. Such a band (tech savvy, that is) is Grandaddy. Respected more across the pond than in native America–they hail from Modesto, California–Grandaddy has momentum like few others, consistently producing complex, layered masterpieces few enjoy and fewer even hear in passing.
Don’t make the same mistake those others do. Go to Grandaddy’s latest official website and get a decent full preview of their latest album, and read about their entire discography, and (when it works) chat with other happy fans. Then become one.
