Grant Lee Buffalo was a Los Angeles-based rock band, consisting of Grant-Lee Phillips (vocals and guitar), Paul Kimble (bass) and Joey Peters (drums). All three were previously members of another LA band, Shiva Burlesque. As GLB, they released four albums: Fuzzy (1993), Mighty Joe Moon (1994), Copperopolis (1996) and Jubilee (1998, without Kimble who had left the band the previous year). After the release of Jubilee, the band broke up and Phillips continues to pursue a successful solo career. In 2001, Storm Hymnal, a compilation of singles, album tracks and rarities was released.
Grant Lee Buffalo had an Americana-tinged sound, clearly influenced by the likes of Neil Young and elements of old-fashioned country music, and often tackled political and social issues in their lyrics (for example, “Lone Star Song” from Mighty Joe Moon references the infamous Waco siege). They toured with major bands of the early-to-mid 1990s such as R.E.M., Pearl Jam and The Smashing Pumpkins.

God, this band was so underrated and ignored. Some of the best music of the early 90's right here.

Absurdly underrated. Everyday there are more people listening to Coldplay than all the plays of this band combined. The prove that mankind is devoluting. (is this a word by the way?)
