The Get Up Kids on Daytrotter


There are quite a lot of bands that we tend to forget about. Bands that take their leave of the stage or the spotlight, and fade into the abyssal black beyond musical venues. For whatever reason, some bands just disappear out of our collective consciousness. But one of the most glorious feelings is when one of these glorious ensembles return to their instruments once more and begin strumming on our memories held on our heartstrings, playing on our love for when we eagerly related their next note back in the day.

The Get Up Kids, 90s emo rock superstars, eventually announced their break-up back in 2005. Though members of The Get Up Kids had moved on to other projects such as The New Amsterdams and Reggie & The Full Effect, the affect that this band had on their fans was long withstanding beyond the break up of the band. Then, quite suddenly, The Get Up Kids announced thier shocking reunion at the end of last year!

Presently the blokes are in the studio, working on a brand new record to christen their reunion properly! But in the mean time, it seems like the boys dropped in at Futureappletree Studio 1 to record a session with the Daytrotter crew! Featuring two old The Get Up Kid favourites, as well two exclusive, unreleased tracks, you can check out The Get Up Kid's Daytrotter performance right now! I suggest you do it ASAP! But when you're done there, feel free to drop by The Get Up Kid's Myspace page, and make sure you stay informed on the latest and greatest from this reunited band.
