The Get Up Kids members had a number of side project/starfish effect bands like White Whale, The New Amsterdams, Reggie and the Full Effect, and these guys. When they broke up in 2005, Jim Suptic picked up the mic and put all his focus on getting Blackpool Lights on the map. If you miss The Get Up Kids as much as everyone else does, you'll find solace in Blackpool Lights' debut album "This Town's Disaster" - out now from Curb Appeal Records.
