Live entertainment'there's nothing like it. Whether you're buckling your favorite punk belt and lacing up your Doc Martens or putting on a black turtleneck and pleather pants, Madison pretty much attracts bands that fit your mold.

Get Up Kids get fresh

Never tired of hyping their latest album, 1997's Four Minute Mile, The Get Up Kids are on the road again, this time as the glistening openers for the Green Day tour. Perhaps best known in Madison for their auspicious performance at Club 770, these Kansas City natives are hoping to break into airwave territory through their stint with Billy Joe and company. The Daily Cardinal chatted recently with Ryan Pope, the band's drummer, who admits that The Get Up Kids are the hottest thing out of K.C. since barbecued ribs.
