Just Like The Fambly Cat 20th Anniversary
I'm a relatively new fan -I started to listen to Grandaddy about 2 and a half years ago.
I got into them because Spotify would constantly reccomend some of their songs to me.
I mostly listen to alternative rock, indie rock and indie pop from the 90's and early 2000's, my favorite band is Eels, who are somewhat similar to Grandaddy in certain ways.
I've listened to and enjoyed the first four albums, plus the Todd Zilla EP.
I don't know too much about the band or Jason's story yet, but I've read that he wrote and recorded Just Like The Fambly Cat mostly on his own at home/ in his studio over the course of about a year in a half, and that it ended up being the last Grandaddy album for quite a while befofe they eventually came back.
That background story makes me appreciate this album even more, because it really reflects a chaotic recording process and personal struggles, and the lyrics resonate with me a lot. My favorite song is Elevate Myself.
Like I said before, I still don't know too much about the band's history or career, so maybe you can answer this question I've had: have they almost never played songs from this album live? That's the impression I've gotten from watching full shows on youtube and checking Setlist.fm.
