About Me

“The Getup is mining a rich and diverse aspect of rock music history and coming up with something fresh and invigorating.” (Santa Barbara Independent)“If you aren’t dancing to their music, you shouldn’t be at the party.” - Matt Cohen (President, Green Room Productions)“…Never disappointing, Larkin (lead guitar) and the ridiculously tight rhythm section is the ideal band to open for Bernie Worrell (Parliament-Funkadelic co-founder)…”“The band [Gullens and co.] know their blues history...they’ve lived it and it comes out in their music." -Tribune-Eagle, Cheyenne WY“The Vineyard’s hottest funk band!” -WMVY 92.7, Martha’s Vineyard, MA"The band’s classic mix of keyboard riffs, solid bass lines, and excellent guitar solos gives a propulsive momentum to songs like “Say What You Will,” which sounds like a lost rock radio staple circa 1976. Other tracks mix things up - a little mellower here, a little heavier there - and frontman Will Segar’s vocals impress on every tune." -Max Burke
