[DID NOT ATTEND: September 29, 2022] The Get Up Kids / Sparta
My friend Al got me into The Get Up Kids back in the early 2000s. “Mass Pike” is a frequently played song on road trips. My Get Up Kids album is Something to Write Home About. I never really got that into Four Minute Mile. So, even though this show could have been fun, it wouldn’t quite have been for me.
Although I certainly wouldn’t have disliked it.
I had plans to see Sparta back in 2020 but the shows were cancelled. Back then I wrote
When At the Drive-In broke up, they split into two bands: The Mars Volta and Sparta. The Mars Volta went in a wild, psychedelic/prog metal direction and Sparta maintained a more tradition heavy rock sound.
I enjoyed the first Sparta albums but I hadn’t heard anything recently. I considered going to this show because I’d heard they were really good live.
UPDATE: Sparta are headlining a tour in August 2023. So I’ll get to see them.
