The Get Up Kids taking new album on tour, coming to Carrboro

The Kansas rockers of The Get Up Kids are prepping their first new full-length album in seven years titled There Are Rules. The album will be out January 25 and will be accompanied by a tour that will keep them busy through mid-March.

The tour will bring the band to the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro Sunday, February 27. Miniature Tigers and Brian Bonz will open the show. Tickets for the show will be $18 and go on sale Thursday, December 16 via etix.

[UPDATE: Miniature Tigers had to cancel their set opening for The Get Up Kids because of van troubles. Local pop rockers I Was Totally Destroying It will now open the show.]

Download the song "Pararelevant" from There Are Rules via the widget below which combines the band's classic high energy with new textures, including a driving synth bass part which is pretty cool. Check it out.
