The Bottleneck

“Hello…home. It’s good to be back,” spoke Matt Pryor into the microphone before

the band launched into “Tithe,” the opening track from There are Rules, the band’s first record in six years. No one ever expected the Get Up Kids to get back together, so the people packed into the Bottleneck were feeling a little extra excitement. Crowd members — who had either grown up listening to the Get Up Kids or were in the process of growing up with the Get Up Kids — were more than ready to welcome the band home from their extended national tour.
