Grandaddy
Grandaddy is an American indie rock band from Modesto, California, formed in 1992. The band consists of Jason Lytle (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Kevin Garcia (bass guitar), Aaron Burtch (drums), Jim Fairchild (guitar) and Tim Dryden (keyboards).
After several self-released records and cassettes, the band signed to Will Records in the US and later the V2 subsidiary Big Cat Records in the UK, going on to sign an exclusive deal with V2. The bulk of the band's recorded output was the work of Lytle, who worked primarily in home studios. The band released four studio albums before splitting in 2006, with band members going on to solo careers and other projects. Grandaddy reformed in 2012 and have since made a number of live appearances.
History
Formation and early releases
Grandaddy was formed in 1992 by singer, guitarist and keyboardist Jason Lytle, bassist Kevin Garcia and drummer Aaron Burtch. The group was initially influenced by US punk bands such as Suicidal Tendencies and Bad Brains. Lytle was a former professional skateboarder, who had turned to music after a knee injury forced him to stop skating, working at a sewage treatment works to fund the purchase of equipment, and several of the band's early live performances were at skateboarding competitions.

Sumday
by: GrandaddyIn a dream
You were sittin' there waitin' by the door for me
And I got the opportunity
To experience
The experience once again
How it could have maybe been?
But in real life
You're in another world with another guy
Who doesn't have to cheat and never has to lie
And all that stuff I didn't get
Comes so easy to him
He doesn't even have to try
Till you have her ask yourself
How it could have maybe been?
I haven't been that bad
But, I haven't been that good
Over misunderstood
Oh, I wish I really could
Enjoy the warmin' sun
Enjoy a warm someone
And end the need to hide
Away alone inside
No, I haven't been that bad
But, I haven't been that good
Over misunderstood
Oh, I wish I really could
Enjoy the warmin' sun
Enjoy a warm someone
And end the need to hide
Away alone inside
Ha haa ha
Haa haa haa haa
In a dream
You were sittin' there waitin' by the door for me
{I said, "Hey, you get out of my park"
I said, "Hey, you get out of my park"}
