Grandaddy

In August 2012, when Grandaddy performed "He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's The Pilot" at the Rock En Seine festival in Paris, they were experiencing a resurgence in their career following a hiatus. Prior to this performance, the band released their album "Just Like the Fambly Cat" in 2006, which was their final project before disbanding. In the years leading up to their reunion, the band's influence on the indie rock scene remained significant, with a devoted fanbase that appreciated their unique blend of lo-fi aesthetics and emotive songwriting. The 2012 performance was part of their comeback, showcasing their renewed energy and commitment to live music following a break that lasted several years. Their return included discussions of a new album, which would ultimately be "Last Place," released in 2017, highlighting how their sound had matured over time yet retained the charm that originally captivated listeners.
