We live in basements.
Behind locked security doors.
On Hills, in houses, In Rows.
We aren't hiding.
We've been here the whole time.
We were Just watching without you knowing.

Formed in the fall of 2007 by Dustin Lawlor & Tom Nelsen, the duo originally stripped their sound down to just bass, drums and vocals out of necessity. But soon embraced the stripped down, raw and dirty sound of a duo. With a little over a year of live shows under their belt, they have opened for such national acts as: the Black Lips, Black Diamond Heavies, Pierced Arrows (2/3 of Dead Moon), CPC Gangbangs and the Ettes. Heavily influenced by the garage rock of the 60’s and the proto-punk sound of bands like the stooges.

The duo of bass and drums melds dance, blues and a little noise into seriously fun music. -Denver Post Reverb

-The GetDown! were a welcome surprise, delivering exactly the sort of unkempt and fuzzed-out stuff I usually like to hear. -Colorado Music Buzz

-Grimy, muddy, and rowdy. -The Advocate

-You guys are not my favorite two-piece band. -Daniel Pope

-Lawlors vocal attack to the ears comes through a seemingly thick cloud of cigarette smoke and garage fumes while Nelsens drumming holds the music together with is unpredictable rhythm. -The Advocate

The Get Down plays dirty rock and roll that brings to mind The White Stripes in their early years. Fuzzed out and sweaty.
-Denver Daily News

Ideal Fathers	May 19 2009 11:22 PM Nah we had lots of press leading up to the show, we don't want to blow our press loads after all. I think a repeat of that bill is in order in the future. Maybe after we all get out of rehab and kick our collective addictions. Jesse
