Massachusetts rules and so do the Get Up Kids

Lawrence, Kansas may sound like a town east of nowhere but it truly does rules. Those that know their emo history know that the Get Up Kids are from this area east of nowhere and with Reggie coming through town out of the woodworks came the ex-Get Up Kids to catch the show. Reggie was in full effect hamming it up with the addition of a second guitarist, Cory, formerly of COALESCE (reunion coming soon btw) and they were absolutely insane. Highlight of the tour so far was when Matt Pryor got pulled onto stage by James during the Hellogoodbye encore to sing “Action Action.” This is probably the closest thing we’ll see to a GUK reunion for quite some time.

So the Granada Theatre is on “Massachusetts” which is like a Newbury St w/o the eurotrash. Totally hip but wicked laid back. This city rules.
