The Getaway Plan

“We were trying to write another album and were getting nowhere. Nothing was really working at all. Really, that break-up was the best thing that could have happened for us – both as a band and as a group of friends."

They play with precision and power, feeding the all-too eager audience the songs they are scrambling to the front to hear.

Bunbury Groovin sold out.

“There are points when you are on the road when just want to fucking quit and you just do not want to be there, and you want to kill every single person that you see.”

"It's pretty rare for a band to vanish for a couple of years and then come back and take off where they were," claims The Getaway Plan's drummer Aaron Barnett, but luckily for him, that is exactly what the band have done. If anything they have come back stronger with their most mature sounding record to date 'Requiem,' and some new found energy to back the release up with a butt load of touring. KYS caught up with the stick man to chat about the group's hectic tour schedule post-album release.

Flawless.

The Getaway Plan has emerged triumphantly from their hiatus with a brand new album and an extensive national tour with Break Even and Gatherer kicking off later this month, and are poised and ready to retake their position at the forefront of the Australian music scene. We caught up with guitarist Clint Ellis to talk about Requiem, Big Day Out and the band’s hopeful vision for the future.
