Preview: Grandaddy at Regency Ballroom
It’s time for one of those “I feel old” moments: American indie stalwarts Grandaddy are touring in celebration of the 25th anniversary of their seminal second album, The Sophtware Slump. That album was a mini-masterpiece of its time, suffused with dreamy, disenchanted early aughts melodies, gauzy guitar and keyboard flourishes, and the echoing vocals of frontman Jason Lyttle. It’s their first North American tour since 2004, and it features Pedro the Lion as support on the West Coast dates and Greg Freeman on the East Coast and Midwest. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself staring wistfully into your beer in the dark.
