Biography
|
|
Rock group Paloalto is led by singer/songwriter/guitarist James Grundler, a Los Angeles native who named the band not after the northern California city, but after his preschool. Grundler began writing songs as a grade school student, and by 1994, was coming up with compositions he felt good about. In the late '90s, he saw a band featuring lead guitarist Jason Johnson and recruited him for his group. The next to join was bassist Alex Parnell. With drummer Steve Clark, the newly formed band began playing at the Mint club in Los Angeles and cut a demo tape that they shopped to record labels. Rick Rubin's American Recordings expressed interest and signed the band in 1999. In mid-December, they began recording their debut album with Rubin producing. During the sessions, Clark left and was replaced by Florian Reinert, and session keyboardist Andy Blunda joined, making Paloalto a quintet. Their self-titled debut album was released in October 2000, preceded by first single "Sonny." Three years later, Parnell and Johnson had left the band and Paloalto were a four-piece with bass player Tommy Black. Their sonically rich sophomore effort Heroes and Villians appeared in July.

Innocence gone, it's like they want the TV shows on
|
Feelin' like a high school prom
|
And you wanna pretend
|
Useless and full of it
|
Why no one else can believe in this
|
You wanna feel somethin to call your own
|
That they can cut out they can't cut it out
|
I've seen better days than this
|
Comin' closer to my wits and over feelings
|
|
I don't wanna fade out, I don't wanna fade in
|
Like everybody should
|
I don't wanna fade out, I don't wanna fade in
|
Like everything before
|
|
Fall asleep soon
|
Like they're gonna wake you up
|
It's pushin' out this insecurity
|
Well you won't push me, you can't push me
|
I've cut more you're slashed and bruised
|
I'll get my way and I'll see the day yet
|
It'll come out clearer
|
|
I don't wanna fade out, I don't wanna fade in
|
Like everybody should
|
I don't wanna fade out, I don't wanna fade in
|
Like everything before

Fade in, fade out (*8)
|
|
I don't wanna fade out, I don't wanna fade in
|
Like everybody should
|
I don't wanna fade out, I don't wanna fade in
|
Like everything before
|
|
It's a killer underneath
|
I'm in my silence
|
In between us
|
|
I don't wanna fade out, I wanna fade in
|
Like everything before
|
|
You must swear we're all lost
|
It's far too long
|
It's far too go
|
It's far too come to me
|
So you can push you again
