I remember listening to 4 minute mile on repeat in my Honda civic driving to high school every morning, thank you. This voice is important for so many of us! Thank you Get Up Kids for your beautiful music.
The first song the keyboard parts always stood out to me in recording. Even as a youthful lad. I feel like this band really got me into Vagrant along with Saves the Day.
Just like it was yesterday. I was instantly brought right back to my 20s. Thank you for this. Matt's wife reached out to us years ago about traveling with the family in a camper along with him as he toured. We even got on a video call to chat as we were kind of seen as a family with experience with that. We could not withhold our excitement during our entire conversation. It was a special moment. We even got put on the guest list for a show in Southern California shortly after because of it. So happy to see the guys playing again.
These guys are flawless. I feel so lucky having seen them (and Reggie) live when we were all much younger 😅 “Holiday” is such a banger of an opening track.
Same. All of the vagrant all stars. Beginning with Face to Face. Saves the day were my faves. It was awesome seeing James and Modest Mouse get major label deals.
Never got to see Reggie back in the day (ugh!!!) but I did see the Kids on their 4 Minute Mile tour and it was glorious. Knew nothing about them before seeing them live, and then was hooked (obviously).
@@CurtisKlopereggie was so fun at the height of his powers! One of the best shows I've ever seen was Reggie opening for Reggie and then Reggie headlined (it was billed as Fluxuation, Reggie, Common Denominator). Flux came out it was James and someone else in his band and they mimed the entire trapped in the closet. Incredible. Funny thing, New Amsterdams were playing in the next room at the same venue at the same time. Reggie is back though! He's playing a few shows here and there, look up footage from Furnace Fest, he is back in FULL F'N EFFECT
ive listened to Get Up Kids for years now and I think this is the 1st time ive 'seen' them. amazing. Something To Write Home About is a timeless record
I met this cool girl in '01, who brought you to the mixtape of our fledging relationship...which grew into a great love. So wild to hear your voices again. Y'all enbiggened my heart today. Thank you. Rock on.
They still sound fantastic, don't they? Saw them a few times but my favorite show of theirs was in Al Contrast's basement in RI, summer 1997. Braid and TGUK both set up at the same time in different parts of the basement and just took turns playing songs. It was great.
Holy shit.. big fan of Something To Write Home About, and I'm going to see them this weekend. I checked this video to see what they sound like these days... Can't believe how good his voice sounds--i would not expect someone with his vocal style to age so gracefully. I'm legit blown away and beyond hyped to see them
I know this isn’t their first record but the CD was a gift from my brother about 24 years ago. I still remember it as the first peice of physical music that was MINE. The cd itself along with the case were lost when I car I owned was sold off before I can eject the CD but I still have the CD insert with the lyrics and photos. I will always love this album
Been listening to these dudes since 2002 - not like, super old school fan, but yeah, a fan - and man, I'll be damned if I ever saw a photo of what these gents look like. Did NOT expect Matt to look like that. Amazing that his voice still sounds as awesome as it did then.
This is incredible. I’m so happy this exists. Thank you KEXP and the Get Up Kids for making this happen! I know Matt struggles with fans not appreciating later albums enough, well I’m here to say that I’m always hoping for more Guilt Show tracks at live shows!
Great performance and the mix sounds just amazing!! Everything sounds so clear and distinguible, props to the sound engineers. These songs bring memories. I wish they release another album that sounds so emotional, energetic and intense as the awesome Something To Write Home About was. The next albums were good, but that one had something magical
Man, years ago I was so into this album. Around 15 years ago I was on bike; just going and going. I knew it was gonna work out. Approaching 20 years of marriage, daughter is healthy, making her way into the world, life is grand and man this album holds a special place in my life, dig it 100%
Man those dual guitar amps, not sure if they are Ampeg Jets or Reverberockets maybe. Sounds so good! I had a 60's Ampeg Jet but couldn't keep it serviced with the old tubes. I've loved the Get Up Kids sound for so long so I'm stoked to see these amps.
They were great on tour, and this is great. A lot of folks saying it's good to see these guys again, check them out on tour if you can! Great live band!

Are you me!?!? 😂
@@danielsells9814 it really is all of us lol.
4 minute mile on cassette…. No skips lol
Same
I bet you looked like a giant in the back of that
I’m 39 years old. It’s my first Thanksgiving alone… and once again, the Get Up Kids are like a blanket for my soul… thank you Matt Pryor 🙏
Definitely give Alvvays a listen. They did an amazing KEXP... how I discovered them like 3 years ago. Saw em live recently. Amazing
Hope you’re good man ❤
Just turned 39 a couple of weeks ago. God help me.
wow..40 now.. where did the years go.. I remember seeing them live in highschool
@@hypercube5183Same. Saw them open for Weezer on my 16th birthday. Absolutely incredible.
The Get Up Adults 🤘🏻
The judges would have also accepted, "The Get Up Dads."
I was a Get Up Kid. Now I’m a Sitting Down Adult 😢😂
Nah it’s still very much The Get Up Kids because no one listens to anything they wrote since they became The Get Up Adults
KEXP studio bookings department is crushing it
They just had Scared of Chaka
Perfect drumming. Their sound hasn’t aged 10 minutes. 1st time I’ve been able to hear what the keyboard is doing!
The first song the keyboard parts always stood out to me in recording. Even as a youthful lad. I feel like this band really got me into Vagrant along with Saves the Day.
From Downtown
The sound hasn't... but those guys have.
wow, i had no idea how emotional this would make me. time machine.
Right 🥲
You're so Emo 😂
"The Company Dime" is such a legendary track and I'm so glad to being hearing it so much in 2024
Such an underrated gem of a track. One if my absolute favorites
Stupidly underrated song.
I'm still waiting for (I'm still waiting for)
You to get over this
I agree wholeheartedly
For a band this old to sound as crisp as the first time I played a CD-R of their first album in my 3-disc stereo is impressive.
Something To Write Home About is still one of my all time favorite albums.
This is a few years overdue...but I'm here for it.
I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE CAMERA MAN FOR ALL THE RIGHT SHOTS OF DRUMS BECAUSE I'M FIGURING OUT THE PARTS AND I MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO A DRUM COVER 😀👊👊👊
If you cant figure out drums by ear, give up kids!
Great to hear you guys again! I just turned 42 and I can tell you that you are on my "educational" playlist for my little kid.

God they are still so good. What a powerful energy !

I can’t believe I’m seeing the Get Up Kids on here!
This was one of the albums I listened to when I backpacked through Europe in 2005. So many memories. Hoping to see these guys in January.
That’s trippy, literally exact same thing for me except in 2003
ive listened to Get Up Kids for years now and I think this is the 1st time ive 'seen' them. amazing. Something To Write Home About is a timeless record
I was 17 when that record came out and then a couple of years later they came out with Eudora. Those two records in a row blew my little mind.
I met this cool girl in '01, who brought you to the mixtape of our fledging relationship...which grew into a great love. So wild to hear your voices again. Y'all enbiggened my heart today. Thank you. Rock on.
I’m singing at the top of my voice. I love this band I love this album and I can’t wait to see them again soon. ❤❤❤
We needed this today
They still sound fantastic, don't they? Saw them a few times but my favorite show of theirs was in Al Contrast's basement in RI, summer 1997. Braid and TGUK both set up at the same time in different parts of the basement and just took turns playing songs. It was great.
June 26, 1997
@thomasadams8727 yeah that sounds about right. I think I sat on top of a skate ramp. How big was that basement haha
90s basement shows in New England were always great!
They took turns playing their set? Damn, should've gone a bit further and played each others songs lol
wow
what would my youth (and my life) have been without this band? i can only say “thank you”.
This was so good. Got to see them live in Australia a few years ago, and it was some of the best nostalgia i've ever had.
Man, get up kids, hot water music, alkaline trio. Oh, such amazing sounds from my youth.
Holy shit.. big fan of Something To Write Home About, and I'm going to see them this weekend.
I checked this video to see what they sound like these days...
Can't believe how good his voice sounds--i would not expect someone with his vocal style to age so gracefully. I'm legit blown away and beyond hyped to see them
No way! This was my favourite album for a whole summer. Welcome back!
His voice takes me back to being 16, living it up at a house party, not a care in the world.
I saw them play live in Mexico this year, it was Amazing!!
I could not have smashed the like button harder! These are literally two of my favorite things ever: Get Up Kids + KEXP!
These are the most nostalgic sounds of my life
I can't wait to see them in February! Already got my ticket!
This album is the soundtrack to my life at 17-18. It still holds up!!
Fellas, you got me thru middle school. Appreciate you!
One of my all-time favorite bands since I first heard them in the late '90s. This is incredible!
The Woodson EP is amazing.. All time Favorite bands..
I know this isn’t their first record but the CD was a gift from my brother about 24 years ago. I still remember it as the first peice of physical music that was MINE. The cd itself along with the case were lost when I car I owned was sold off before I can eject the CD but I still have the CD insert with the lyrics and photos. I will always love this album
Haven’t seen this band live since 1998! So lovely to see
What a way to open the set drummer: 'are you ready?' and next the band is into it all the way 🚀
They still sound great! I really enjoyed their show in Chile the past August!!
Hands down my FAVE live session so far!!
Been listening to these dudes since 2002 - not like, super old school fan, but yeah, a fan - and man, I'll be damned if I ever saw a photo of what these gents look like. Did NOT expect Matt to look like that. Amazing that his voice still sounds as awesome as it did then.
You've been around long enough. I think 2002 is when On a Wire came out. My favorite album from them... but I like them all.
Check out the New Amsterdams if you haven’t. Great stuff
Every time i started thinking about clicking away, that drummer would draw me right back in. You guys killed it, solid performance 10/10!!
Here is a big fan of theirs from Japan😊
This is incredible. I’m so happy this exists. Thank you KEXP and the Get Up Kids for making this happen!
I know Matt struggles with fans not appreciating later albums enough, well I’m here to say that I’m always hoping for more Guilt Show tracks at live shows!
So many memories jamming gt up kids as a teenager. I’m 36 now and this it’s every feeling still.
Great performance and the mix sounds just amazing!! Everything sounds so clear and distinguible, props to the sound engineers.
These songs bring memories. I wish they release another album that sounds so emotional, energetic and intense as the awesome Something To Write Home About was. The next albums were good, but that one had something magical
I saw these guys open for Green Day back in January of 2001, right around the time of Bush 43’s inauguration. Feels like another lifetime ago.
This is awesome. They sound fantastic.
I remember listening to this song just a few minutes ago in my bedroom. Man those were good times.
I'm so happy I could watch them playing this record here in Brazil this year! Come back!!
I’m seeing them on this 25th Anniversary tour in February on Long Island, NY. Can’t wait!
I miss these days so much. Something to write home about was all I listened too!!
i love how like all the songs are from something to write home about. gosh, it takes you back, don't it
So much "yes"!!!
The real ones know every word to all of these great songs. Very underrated band
Thank you GET UP KIDS! I needed this
Man, years ago I was so into this album. Around 15 years ago I was on bike; just going and going. I knew it was gonna work out. Approaching 20 years of marriage, daughter is healthy, making her way into the world, life is grand and man this album holds a special place in my life, dig it 100%

Simply wonderful
I had no idea how much I needed to see this.

I haven’t heard Valentine in a MINUTE! Just got hit with a wave of memories 🥹
Jesus, that was amazing. Feels weird not to see James, but damn it sounded incredible.
Brilliant! Love it!
I love this so much. thank you
Such a brilliant band. These dudes still got it! Timeless stuff
They were great on tour, and this is great. A lot of folks saying it's good to see these guys again, check them out on tour if you can! Great live band!

I’m 19 and in love again. Soooo good

LET'S ALSO HEAR IT FOR THE SOUND GUY BECAUSE THE MIX IS 👌, 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Sounding incredible 👏
Saw them over 20 years ago at the house of blues in Hollywood. Brings me back to a time with less bills.
Sounds better than the record. Top form. Love them!
The get up men!
Something about the drum beat and the lead guitar part in The Company Dime always hit me extra hard.
Love this band
i'm cryin'

Never realized he’s like Ringo - a lefty playing a right handed kit. Great performance, fellas!
Dang what a delight
They sound amazing!
Wow wow wow ❤
