Grandaddy are an American indie pop band formed in Modesto, California in 1992 by singer/guitarist/keyboardist Jason Lytle, bassist Kevin Garcia, and drummer Aaron Burtch; although a noisy, lo-fi approach characterized early recordings like 1994's Complex Party Come Along Theories, with the 1995 additions of guitarist Jim Fairchild and keyboardist Tim Dryden the group's sound expanded exponentially over the course of subsequent efforts including the unreleased Don't Sock the Tryer and the 1996 EP A Pretty Mess by This One Band.

Originally issued on indie label Will Records, 1997's acclaimed full-length Under the Western Freeway proved Grandaddy's creative breakthrough, and the following year the album was reissued on major-label V2, with "Summer Here Kids" earning Single of the Week honors in the pages of the NME. The Broken Down Comforter Collection, a compilation of singles tracks, preceded the 1999 Signal to Snow Ratio EP, which heralded a movement toward the vintage electronic textures further in evidence on 2000's superb The Sophtware Slump. In 2002, the group released another odds-n-sods collection, Concrete Dunes, which paved the way for a busy 2003: that spring, Grandaddy released the Floating Debris EP and their fourth full-length, Sumday, and spent the rest of the year touring, making appearances at festivals such as Glastonbury. In 2005, they resurfaced with the Excerpts from the Diary of Todd Zilla EP and a full-length album (Just Like the Fambly Cat) followed in 2006. It was to be their last, though Jason Lytle continues to tour, playing Grandaddy songs as well as his own solo works.
Additional Info:
Under the name Arm of Roger, Grandaddy recorded a joke album entitled The Ham and its Lily in 2002.
A.M. 180, which was released as a single, is featured prominently in the British film 28 Days Later.

Nonphenomenal Lineage
Grandaddy Lyrics
Well hello good morning sir
The results are back
And now it's time to pack your things and go
Seems you came up rather short
Of the average sort
Now I must inform you've no reason left to remain here
Now surely you'll understand that only gifted hands
Will receive the chance to touch down on fortune
Now we'll gather up your things
And lead you to the gate
And you will go away
And never attempt to return here
Nonphenominal Lineage

Well hello good morning sir
Los resultados están de vuelta
The results are back
Y ahora es el momento de empacar tus cosas e ir
And now it's time to pack your things and go
Parece que te quedaste corto
Seems you came up rather short
Del tipo medio
Of the average sort
Ahora debo informarle que no le quedan razones para quedarse aquí
Now I must inform you've no reason left to remain here
Ahora seguramente entenderás que solo manos dotadas
Now surely you'll understand that only gifted hands
Recibirá la oportunidad de aterrizar en la fortuna
Will receive the chance to touch down on fortune
Ahora recogeremos tus cosas
Now we'll gather up your things
Y llevarte a la puerta
And lead you to the gate
Y te irás
And you will go away
Y nunca intentes volver aquí
And never attempt to return here
Linaje no fenominal
Nonphenominal Lineage

That instrumental breakdown that starts at 2:03 is simply one of the loveliest things I've ever heard. It makes my spine light up like fifth avenue.
