Grant Lee Buffalo formed in Los Angeles in 1992 as a trio with singer-songwriter Grant Lee Phillips, guitarist Joey Peters, and drummer Dave Immerglück. Their debut album 'Fuzzy' came out the following year, anchored by the title track that became their most recognizable song. The record established their sound, which wove together folk, rock, and psychedelic textures with Phillips's distinctive vocals.
They followed up with albums like 'Copperopolis' in 1996 and 'Jubilee' in 1998, maintaining a steady output through the 1990s. Songs like 'Mockingbirds,' 'Happiness,' and 'Jupiter And Teardrop' showed Phillips's knack for introspective lyrics set against the band's atmospheric arrangements. The group disbanded in 2002 after releasing 'Storm Hymnal' the previous year.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
