Get Set Go is a band formed in 2002[1] in Highland Park, Los Angeles, California. They are generally seen as indie rock. Their main songwriter is Michael Torres, known as "Mike TV." They are known for their tendency to mix dark lyrics with upbeat or catchy melodies. They are perhaps best known for being heard on several episodes of Grey's Anatomy, apearing on the first two volumes of the series' soundtrack with the tracks "Wait" and an amended version of "I Hate Everyone".[2]
The band has gone through a few lineups and name changes, originally called Vermicious K, and then All Your Bass Are Belong To Us, before settling on Get Set Go.[1] Currently, Get Set Go is the solo project of Michael Torres.[3]
History
Michael Torres initially started Get Set Go with high school friend Patrick Flores in 2002 in Highland Park. The two originally recorded joke albums under the nicknames "Mike TV" and "Dr. Modo", respectively.[1] The duo would later meet drummer Amy Wood and began producing music under the name Vermicious K, which later changed to All Your Bass Are Belong To Us (a reference to the internet joke). Eventually, the trio were signed to TSR Records, a small family owned independent label that "thought [they] had a lot of commercial appeal".[1] The group once again changed their name, this time as Get Set Go, and released their debut album So You've Ruined Your Life in 2003.
The group faced a lack of success, and both Wood and Flores left to persue other careers. Torres felt into a state of depression afterwards, and by 2004, was addicted to heroin.[1][4] By 2005, however, Torres was able to quit and gained new members for Get Set Go, including longtime violist Eric Summer. During this time period, crew members of the show Grey's Anatomy heard about the group, and thus tracks by the band were included on the shows soundtrack. Most notably, the track "Wait" from So You've Ruined Your Life. In 2006, Ordinary World was released. The albums Selling Out & Going Home (2007) and Sunshine, Joy & Happiness: A Tragic Tale of Death, Despair and Other Silly Nonsense (2008) followed.
In 2011, the group established their own independent label, titled Square Tire Music, in order to release their music, as well as music made by others. A KickStarter campaigned was launched to help fund the production of the band's fifth album, Fury of Your Lonely Heart, which was eventually released digitally on September 20, 2011. Two extended plays, Loose Tongues... and Wicked Hands followed in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Tumors was released as the band's sixth full-length in 2013. In 2014, Get Set Go became the solo project of Michael Torres when he moved out to Austin, Texas.
