GRANT LEE BUFFALO

'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). In the United States, the band may perhaps best be remembered for their 1998 single, “Truly, Truly,” which received extensive airplay.
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.
