R.I.P. Grandaddy

"It was inevitable. There's a path that we're on... we rode it out for as long as we could. On one hand our stubbornness has paid off, but on the other hand refusing to buy into the way things are traditionally supposed to be done has made things worse for us. The realistic part is it hasn't proved to be a huge money-making venture for a lot of guys in the band. We've been doing this for a long time and you have to ask yourself 'Why am I beating myself up like this?'...week after week, month after month, year after year."
Met die woorden kondigt Jason Lytle vandaag het einde van Grandaddy aan in NME. De band gaat haar nieuwe plaat 'Just Like The Fambly Cat' nog wel verder afwerken, maar er volgt geen tournee. Dat noem ik nu eens slecht nieuws. En net nu ik mijn baard wou laten groeien!
