In November 1997, Grandaddy was gaining traction following the release of their debut studio album, "Under The Western Freeway," which came out earlier that year. The live performance of "A.M. 180" on the Dutch music show "2 Meter Sessies" showcased the band’s early sound, characterized by a blend of lo-fi indie rock and electronic pop elements. This appearance helped solidify their presence in the burgeoning indie scene of the late 90s. An interesting fact about this period is that "Under The Western Freeway" was well-received by critics, and tracks like "A.M. 180" laid the groundwork for Grandaddy's unique storytelling style and innovative instrumentation. Their quirky approach to songwriting and the use of synthesizers made them stand out, and this live recording captures their raw energy and the essence of their early career.
