Youth Group to join the Get Up Kids on their Fall 2009 Reunion Tour!
Youth Group, the Australian four-piece who released their third full-length, The Night Is Ours, this past April, will have barely had time to rest from their three-month North American stint before they’ll head back across the ocean to support emo heroes the Get Up Kids on their 2009 Fall Reunion tour. The fun kicks off in Denver on September 15, after which the two groups (plus Boston trio Pretty & Nice as the first opener) travel through Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego, Dallas, and Omaha before finishing up together in Iowa City, IA. Youth Group will then continue eastward, headlining shows in Chicago, Columbus, Pittsburgh and Hoboken (with more dates TBA).

What the press is saying about The Night Is Ours:
“If melodic indie rock is your go-to player, then Aussie foursome, Youth Group, are definitely your winning team.” – Filter Magazine’s Good Music Guide
“The Night Is Ours’ sonic splendor shines like a beacon” – Alternative Press
“Prepare to be enthralled.” – Hear/Say
“Youth Group is a terrific indie-pop quartet from Australia that may remind you of a good many good things: The melodic power-pop of mid-to-late-period Teenage Fanclub; the refined art-rock of the Church; and the jangly dream-pop of a slew of Flying Nun bands from the ’80s and early ’90s (the Chills, the Clean, Volcano Suns, et al.).” – Seattle Weekly
“The band really puts it all together on the album’s centerpiece, ‘All This Will Pass,’ the perfect single, featuring catchy reverb-y guitars and a straight-forward memorable hook, with Martin using his whole range, to excellent effect.” – Absolute Punk
