I spoke about Grandfather last year and their album Why I'd Try - I was pretty impressed, as were notable others. Things have been cooking along for them since, especially in terms of playing - they opened for Mission Of Burma for crying out loud! SPIN also loved their performance at this year's Northside Festival in Brooklyn.
So on top of all of this goodwill, they are going on a massive tour of the US starting in Boston today! Its taken a hell of a lot of DIY malarkey to make it happen too, so get behind em if they are coming to your town...There are a few gaps still though, so if you are keen contact them to get em to your fave venue!
