Biography
Jason Lytle, frontman of Grandaddy, live in London, 1998
Jim Fairchild, lead guitarist of Grandaddy, live in concert
Grandaddy was formed in 1992 by singer/guitarist/keyboardist Jason Lytle, bassist Kevin Garcia, and drummer Aaron Burtch. In 1995, guitarist Jim Fairchild and keyboardist Tim Dryden joined the band.[2]
The band did not tour after the release of their final album, Just Like the Fambly Cat, though Lytle stated that he intends to continue making music, and embarked on a couple of quiet solo tours. He has moved from Modesto to Montana.
In the spring of 2008, Lytle launched his own website,[3] stating that he is working on a solo album to be released in 2008. In September 2008, Lytle gave an interview on local radio station KGLT in Bozeman, Montana in which he stated that his solo album would be called Yours Truly, the Commuter. The album was released on May 19, 2009 on the ANTI- record label.
In April 2007 Jim Fairchild put out his first solo record on Dangerbird Records, entitled Ten Readings of a Warning, under the name All Smiles. He currently lives and works in Portland, Oregon. He released the second All Smiles album entitled Oh For the Getting and Not Letting Go, on June 30, 2009. Fairchild has also played for the bands Giant Sand, Great Northern, Lackthereof, and Modest Mouse.[4]
Fairchild began playing guitar for Modest Mouse shortly after the breakup of Grandaddy in 2006; he continued playing with Modest Mouse again in 2009. In 2010 he was selected to lead a project at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.[5]
Burtch has been in a band called The Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit.[6]
Burtch and Lytle, along with Earlimart's Aaron Espinoza and Ariana Murray, have since formed a new band called Admiral Radley. Their debut cd was released in the USA on July 13, 2010 via Espinoza's label The Ship.[7]
