Reunited, and it feels so goooood.

The Get Up Kids are playing a 24-song set tonight at Liberty Hall in Lawrence, KS and are giving their local fans the thrill of their lives.  The GUK are currently playing Something To Write Home About in its entirety and the whole thing is being videotaped.  So don’t you worry, non-Kansas folks.  You’ll soon be able to watch the entire set.  And that, my friend, is definitely something to write home about.  (See set list below).

In addition, to surprising fans with the announcement of the recording, the band surprised bandmate James Dewees (keys) with a cake and a “Happy Birthday” singalong to celebrate his 33rd Birthday. Happy Birthday!
