when are the get up kids going on tour????

TGUK isn't going on tour. They're recording right now.

But, here's another reason why people should listen to Koufax.

I am on TGUK's website, and they have something about Vagrant Records. Here's what it says:

Home to The Get Up Kids and all TGUK related side projects (except Coalesce and Tijuana Crime Scene) since 1999. Also home to Koufax…the best band you’ve never heard.

Listen to Koufax. That is all.

Better Than Ezra is going to Lupo's in October sometimes but there's no way I can go..

What I really wanna know is when they're comin out with a new album. They've been touring on the same material for two years >_<...

I don't go to enough concerts.

Koufax is awesome. Although I don't know why it would say "the best band you've never heard." They're not really that obscure at all.

yes they are. they only play shows to under 100 people.


i saw cursive w/ blood brothers last night. i drove like 2 hours (got lost) by myself to see them since i know no one who likes indie music at my college so far.

blood brothers were pretty bad i dont know what all the hype is, wow you can scream and sing congratulations. the crowd wasnt moving at all for them and they were getting pretty mad. they put a lot into their live show even people werent feeling them.

then cursive came on and well tim kasher does not look what i expected him to look like. he looks more like an old trucker then lead singer of an indie/emo band. The coolest thing is Gretta sits on her chair and sways with the cello like Raine does with his mic stand but it looks much cooler with a cello. They rocked out pretty hard just played the jams and not much else. Played an awesome version of Recluse, the marty, lament of a pretty baby, art is hard, sink to the beat, red handed slight of hand, closed with gentleman caller which rocked hard time. dont remember rest of the songs. worth the $9.

really? when they played here there were at least 2-300 people, about average for a club show. plus they're on vagrant, which is well-known for an indie label. anyway, they're a great band.

Rob, you saw Cursive?! You lucky bastard.

the blood brothers' initial fanbase doesn't consist of mopey emo kids, so that's why no one was into them. this wasn't their tour, people go off to the blood brothers at their own shows. but yeah, you're not into that genre so i can see why you'd think it's bad.

i think they're comming around here. maybe i should look for someone to go with.

how do you know what genre i listen too? i just didnt think they were that great musically. they put on a good live show and i would be moshing and stuff if other people actually moved.

I just saw Interpol. Oh my Jeebus, it was stupendous.

First off, I must say that The Stills are damn catchy and I definitely want to see them when they play here again. They put on such a great set.

Interpol blew me away. I figured they would be boring as hell, but I was so into them. I don't know why, but their music made me insanely happy and want to move around, so white boy started dancing again, and it was good. The lead singer of Interpol kept staring at me though, which kind of creeped me out, but whatever, he played the music that made me dance, so be it.

TGUK isn't going on tour. They're recording right now.

Well shit. That's what you get when you listen to your friend instead of looking for yourself.

lol, they probably heard about the reggie and the full effect tour and got confused. but dammit, you had me excited there for a second, even though i knew TGUK are in the studio

has anyone else seen the get up kids live? cause they are awesome live. i hope they get their asses back on tour soon.

havent seen them... i definitely will as soon as they come close enough.

uhh, i never hear you talking about hardcore (even though they're not pure hardcore, but i won't get into that), that's why. judgement call, sorry. GAWD.


oh, and interpol was really good. the bassist is so cool, and looks like willard.

you are so concerned with labels. just listen to what you like. i listen to hardcore too, norma jean, beloved, from autumn to ashes and christensen.

Nope, those aren't hardcore enough either, Rob. Try again. See, the whole point of being a cool indie rock kid is to name off bands that no one's ever heard of, and for all we know, don't even exist. If you were smart, you'd stop listening to the bands you like and strictly listen to foreign bands, mostly from Sweden, and go to record stores and name drop these bands as much as possible, even if you don't like them, just so you're that much more indie. Don't you know anything about the scene?
