Get Up Kids album / tour / side projects

: Following the release of Eudora, an interesting rarities compilation, The Get Up Kids plan to drop their new album, simply called "The Get Up Kids" on April 30th. The artwork is once again being done by Travis Millard (the robots from Something...). The album will have 12 or 14 songs and will depart from their punk/emo style for something resembling classic rock. Following the album's release, the 'Kids will embark on a 6 week tour, 3 on the east coast, 3 on the west coast. Hot Rod Circuit will be supporting them (probably with special guests.) Then on August 1st The Get Up Kids will embark on Vagrant America 2002.

Get Up Kids side-projects will also be maintained to a degree. Matt Pryor's 2nd album as New Amsterdams comes out on 1/22. James Dewees is back at the drumkit for Coalesce, and Rob Pope continues with Tijuana Crime Scene. No news from Reggie.
