The debut memoir by Matt Pryor

(The Get Up Kids, New Amsterdams, The Terrible Twos)

Red Letter Days follows the life of a musician growing up, on the road, and following his dream of being a successful musician. Taken from journal entries from 1990–2000, the book is a collection of short vignettes about Pryor’s experiences crisscrossing the country (and the continents) with the band and the cast of characters he meets along the way told via first-person accounts of his most memorable moments.

A whole lot of nostalgia!

This band meant the world to me when I was a kid and I loved Matt’s storytelling.

solid

fun listen, would recommend even if you aren’t a fan of his the get up kids .

Stand out

This is one of the better memoirs in the genre. Thank you for sharing your life stories.

Great listen as a musician

Such a great listen to Matt’s recounts of band and personal life. As a longtime fan of TGUK, I highly recommend listening and reading.

Take note

I grew up in Kansas City and even though I’m about 5-6 years younger I remember loading up a Delta88 with 6 smelly guys and driving to Lawrence to rush the door at the Bottleneck to watch The get Up kids play. At one point in my life my band practiced down the hall from them in KC where they were pissing in the water fountain. The one thing this book reminded me is that no matter how great their music is and it is most definitely the soundtrack of my youth, Matt is such a giant fucking douche bag!
