“When the hell did the Get Up Kids get back together?”

Give or take the superfluous swear word, this was undoubtedly the question on most people’s minds when word of a TGUK reunion show started trickling in over the last few months and culminating in a hush-hush show announcement last week.

To answer that and several of the inevitable follow-up questions: yes, all five members of the Get Up Kids performed a full set for the first time in three years at the Record Bar on Sunday. If you couldn’t make it, don’t panic – the band has promised a few more shows in 2009 to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of their breakthrough album, Something to Write Home About.
