Six years after their 2006 breakup, ramshackle indie-pop oddballs Grandaddy have announced their obligatory reformation. Via their website, the band let loose details of a handful of shows come August and September, including dates at Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco and End of the Road in England. More gigs will be coming, one assumes.Formed by songsmith Jason Lytle in Modesto, California in 1992, the band settled into a sound country-tinged indie-pop laced with home-recording monkeyshines and a withering spiritual debt to The Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev. They released four albums —highlighted by 2000's The Sophtware Slump— before breaking up after 2006's Just Like the Fambly Cat.
