Greatness in Tragedy originally formed in Temple, Texas. Although the lineup may have changed a little over the years, Greatness in Tragedy is still playing its heart out. The band's sound captures the intensely flamboyant 70s classic rock feel, with a never ending supply of hooky pop-rock massacres.

The band has shared the stage with national acts, including Gin Blossoms, 7 Mary Three, Soul Asylum, Blue October, Flickerstick, Bowling for Soup, Burden Brothers, Edgewater, Simple Plan, Un Loco, Vallejo and Push Monkey.

Tragically, during the summer of 2006 Greatness In Tragedy experienced their greatest tragedy when they broke up so that members of the group could "persue other things" (sic).
