We can all breathe a little easier folks. It turns out that The Get Up Kids are not taking an indefinite hiatus, just taking time on their own projects as previously stated. Here’s what the band had to say:
“The Get Up Kids are not breaking up after this European tour, as has been erroneously announced in some areas of the press. What was said was that this could be the last set of tour dates for a spell, especially in Europe, as members are splitting off to work on some other projects for a while. That is—Matt Pryor has a new solo album, May Day (which was funded with the help of a Kickstarter campaign) that is due in January. Rob Pope is likely working on a new Spoon album (Britt Daniel has spent the year writing new songs for the next release). James Dewees continues to play in My Chemical Romance. Ryan Pope is spending some time in Europe. Jim Suptic is being a dad for the second time. It is not even a ‘hiatus’ which always seems to mean something much more final.
You can read the rest of the band’s statement here. The Get Up Kids last released “There Are Rules ” their first album in 7 years, on their own label Quality Hill last January.
