The Get Up Kids stoppen niet definitief

Ter verduidelijking en om geschrokken mensen wat duidelijkheid te geven over wat er nu precies met de band staat te gebeuren na de tour is er vanuit het kamp van The Get Up Kids een bericht online gekomen. In tegenstelling tot eerdere berichtgeving zijn The Get Up Kids toch niet van plan om er even definitief mee te stoppen, maar dat er naast de band meer tijd wordt genomen voor side-projects en dergelijke. Dit is wat de band erover had te zeggen: “The Get Up Kids are not breaking up after this European tour, as has been erroneously announced in some areas of the press. What was said was that this could be the last set of tour dates for a spell, especially in Europe, as members are splitting off to work on some other projects for a while. That is—Matt Pryor has a new solo album, May Day (which was funded with the help of a Kickstarter campaign) that is due in January. Rob Pope is likely working on a new Spoon album (Britt Daniel has spent the year writing new songs for the next release). James Dewees continues to play in My Chemical Romance. Ryan Pope is spending some time in Europe. Jim Suptic is being a dad for the second time. It is not even a ‘hiatus’ which always seems to mean something much more final.
