Well, Jason from Grandaddy, at least.
Other Music was packed to the brim last night for a special intimate acoustic set from Grandpa himself.
Jason stormed through a 35-minute set which featured mostly Fambly tracks. “Summer..It’s Gone” and “Disconnecty” (yousendit) sounded fantastic, but it was the show-closing “The Group Who Couldn’t Say” which got everybody ooh-ing. Perhaps an appropriate finale.
Throughout the set, the crowd was extremely well-behaved and Jason was so very humble. Also of note, out of the 75 people or so jam packed into the record shop, i would say about 70 of them were guys! Do women really hate Grandaddy that much? I know Jen does and a few other female friends of mine completely dislike the band.
Interesting.
The only other time I saw a ratio of men to women that skewed was when I saw Spritiualized in Philly. My friend Megan was literally the only girl in a room that held 1000+ people. Not kidding! Odd.
Regardless of who was at the show, it was sad that it was the last one we’ll ever see.
Grandaddy, you will be missed.
*sniff*
(double sniff)
Methinks I got there too late. My friend and I started waiting in line but my friend didn’t really want to wait (I asked her to come with me, but she’s not really a fan…oops) and I figured I may as well go home.
Dammit, I should’ve eaten faster. We could’ve increased the estrogen in the room. Girls do not flock to the JASON?! WHY NOT?!
Thanks for the recap!
I went to this show, in fact, I drove down from Boston to see it. Grandaddy is my favorite band ever.
I was going through my pictures that night, and there weren’t very many of us girls… I don’t understand why, Jason’s voice has always made me swoon.
