Which Californian band, formed in Modesto in 1992, once wrote a song about an android who drinks himself to death?
Jed the Humanoid Jed the Humanoid is a song on the 2000 album "The Sophtware Slump" released by the Modesto, California indie-rock band Grandaddy. The song is a eulogy for an android who drinks himself to death, and is taken to be central to the nature versus technology parable of the band's second album. A music reviewer for The Guardian, Dorian Lynskey, called it "the saddest robot song ever written."
California (Delta Spirit song) "California" is a song by American indie rock band Delta Spirit from their 2012 self-titled album.
