Live music review: Grandaddy, Vicar St

Criminally underrated, notoriously over-bearded, Grandaddy were one of the finest bands to emerge from the American indie scene in the late 1990s.

With a distinctive sound that uniquely blended keyboards and guitars, their songs swooned constantly between euphoric power chords and glitchy, synth-laden melancholia, the latter quality underlined always by singer Jason Lytle’s wonderful falsetto.
