As has been reported in the NME on Friday, California space rockers Grandaddy have called it a day. The official website features a message from drummer Aaron Burtsch:

"yeah, well i guess that's it.

don't really know what to say, and maybe there just aren't words to properly express my feelings about the past 14 years of so. it just goes too deep. maybe i'll post something more proper and detailed sometime in the future, but for now just wanted to tell you all thank you for being there for and with us. we'll never forget you and we'll be forever grateful for being friends and supporters of our dumb band.

please excuse me while i limp off into the sunset."
