Fall 2019 Tour

2023-03-28T13:52:14Z

Jens: /* Setlist */

[[File:Fall 2019 t-shirt.jpg|thumb|Fall 2019 Tour t-shirt design]]
[[The Midnight|The Midnight's]] third concert tour, the '''Fall 2019 Tour''', began on August 29, 2019, in [[wikipedia:Portland, Oregon|Portland, Oregon]] and concluded in [[wikipedia:London|London]] on November 12, 2019. A total of thirty-eight shows were performed over two legs.
== Background ==

The Midnight first hinted at new tour dates in a social media post on February 18, 2019.<ref>{{Cite web |date=February 18, 2019 |title=ｔｈｅ　ｍｉｄｎｉｇｈｔ on Instagram |url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BuB7ljJA2iW/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108075502/https://www.instagram.com/p/BuB7ljJA2iW/ |archive-date=November 8, 2020 |access-date=April 10, 2022 |website=Instagram}}</ref> The post showed a [[wikipedia:Command-line interface|Command-line interface]] in action with the user changing directories to a folder labeled "New Tour Dates", and the output result was "File Not Found > Available Feb 22 2019." On that day, another post in a similar style was shared, officially confirming a tour for Fall 2019 Tour and announcing the dates for the European leg.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/BuLg-qcg9O_/</ref> Pre-sales of tickets were slated to begin on February 27 with tickets being fully available to the public on March 1.

Another set of tour dates was teased by the band a few months later on April 21.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwh1qM5AYwq/</ref> This post depicted an old [[wikipedia:Windows 95|Windows 95]] interface running [[wikipedia:Netscape (web browser)|Netscape]], with a list of dates obscured by Windows dialog boxes. The dates were revealed the following day to be for a North American leg of the tour, and pre-sales of tickets began on April 24 before going on sale to the general public on April 26.

== Overview ==
[[File:Vip pass fall 2019.jpg|thumb|VIP Pass laminate for the fall 2019 tour]]
The tour saw The Midnight performing songs from across all their releases up to that point, with some new songs also being performed that would later appear on [[Monsters]] which released the following year. The band was accompanied by longtime saxophone player [[Jesse Molloy]], who has performed at most of The Midnight's live shows since their very first show in 2017. New to the band for the Fall 2019 Tour tour was guitarist [[Jupiter Winter|Lelia Broussard]], a [[wikipedia:Los Angeles|Los Angeles]]-based musician who auditioned for the open spot and whose previous work as a singer-songwriter was familiar to [[Tyler Lyle]]. Most North American dates featured [[wikipedia:New Jersey|New Jersey]]-based electronic producer Flamingosis as an opening act, while the majority of European dates were accompanied by [[wikipedia:Sweden|Swedish]] musical group Violet Days. The November 12, 2019 show at Roundhouse in [[wikipedia:London|London]] was The Midnight's 100th live show.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/B43GjI7lUhw/</ref><ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/B41DSm6gT13/</ref>

After an intro, the show begins with [[The Years (Prologue)]], The Midnight's first track from their first EP [[Days of Thunder]]. The band then jumps ahead to their most recent release [[Kids]] and works backwards from there, performing [[Lost Boy]], Shadows, [[Jason]], and [[Days of Thunder (song)|Days of Thunder]]. After ''Days of Thunder'', Tyler Lyle exits the stage for a brief break which gives way to a solo set by [[Tim McEwan]]. He begins with ''Death Touch'', a new instrumental song which as of 2020 remains unreleased. This is followed up with a vocal cover by McEwan of the 1980 [[wikipedia:The Police|The Police]] hit [[wikipedia:Don't Stand So Close to Me|Don't Stand So Close to Me]], which transitions into [[Lonely City]] (which includes some vocal samples from [[Nighthawks]]). Lyle then returns to the stage for [[Vampires]], with the highlight of this song being the riveting performance of saxophone player Jesse Molloy. A new song from the band's then upcomming album [[Monsters]] was then performed next, which is either [[Monsters (song)|Monsters]] or [[Seventeen]] depending on the location. The main setlist is closed out with performances of [[Gloria]], [[Crystalline]] ([[The Comeback Kid]] at some shows), [[America 2]], and [[Los Angeles]]. The band leaves the stage and after a brief intermission, Lyle returns to perform two of his solo songs, [[Brooklyn]] and [[Lost & Found|Lost & Found]]. Before ''Brooklyn'' is played, he announces that a new version of the song will be on The Midnight's next album. The entire band then comes together one final time to perform [[Sunset]], concluding the show.
=== Setlist ===

This setlist is representative of the show played on September 9, 2019, at Georgia Theatre in [[wikipedia:Athens, Georgia|Athens, Georgia]]. Most shows followed this setlist with occasional minor variations. [[Seventeen]] replaced [[Monsters (song)|Monsters]] at some shows, and some shows also replaced [[Crystalline]] with [[The Comeback Kid]]. During the November 5, 2019, show at Paradiso in [[wikipedia:Amsterdam|Amsterdam]], the band was joined by [[wikipedia:Timecop1983|Timecop1983]] for the song [[River of Darkness]], which replaced [[Brooklyn]].

The shows opened with a special version of [[Youth]] featuring a clip of the late [[wikipedia:Robin_Williams|Robin Williams]] from the 1989 movie [[wikipedia:Dead_Poets_Society|Dead Poets Society]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=April 3, 2020 |title=Dead Poets Society (1989) - What will your verse be? |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wey8nauEyA4 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220410194239/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wey8nauEyA4 |archive-date=April 10, 2022 |access-date=April 10, 2022 |website=YouTube}}</ref>

== Lyrics ==
<blockquote><poem>
[should have known at the end of summer
the innocence fades and the weak become stronger
should have known at the end of the summer
I'd be lost without you]

the skyline looked like a stained glass window
the city sang such mad crescendo
four bare feet on a rain soaked street
summer airbrushed fever dreams

disappeared in a camera flash
why do the bad girls never last
lost in gin and lemonade
electrospins and the mermaid parade

four quartets and no regrets
except for the polaroids i left
you were just some spell i was under
that endless summer
</poem></blockquote>Lyrics source<ref name=":0" />

'''The Midnight''' is an [[wikipedia:United_States_of_America|American]] synthwave band originating from [[wikipedia:Los_Angeles|Los Angeles, California]], composed of producer [[Tim McEwan]] and vocalist/guitarist [[Tyler Lyle]]. Since forming in 2012, the band has released three extended plays (EPs), four albums, and two remix albums.<ref>{{Cite web |date=March 4, 2020 |title=ｔｈｅ　ｍｉｄｎｉｇｈｔ on Twitter: "@tedkeyboard I’m afraid I have to correct on the definition on an EP.

== Beginnings ==

Prior to forming The Midnight, Tyler Lyle and Tim McEwan were both established musicians. Lyle was an indie-folk singer-songwriter based in the state of [[wikipedia:Georgia|Georgia]] and gained initial notability with several self-released titles, becoming regionally and nationally known. McEwan was a drummer and producer based in [[wikipedia:Denmark|Denmark]], later becoming a member of the Danish production group [[wikipedia:Deekay|Deekay]] who has written and produced songs for many popular artists.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2008 |title=Multi-platinum Record Production Team Deekay |url=http://www.myhitonline.com/Interview.aspx?id=14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080921032458/http://www.myhitonline.com/Interview.aspx?id=14 |archive-date=March 24, 2022 |access-date=March 24, 2022 |website=myHitOnline}}</ref>

The pair met for the first time in 2012 at a songwriter’s workshop in [[wikipedia:North Hollywood|North Hollywood]] organized by Katie Donovan, Lyle’s A&R representative at the time.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Vehling |first=Aaron |date=November 12, 2017 |title=Who Are The Midnight?: An Interview with the Masters of Modern Nostalgia |url=https://vehlinggo.com/2017/11/12/the-midnight-interview-nocturnal/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220324190301/https://vehlinggo.com/2017/11/12/the-midnight-interview-nocturnal/ |archive-date=March 24, 2022 |access-date=March 24, 2022 |website=Vehlinggo}}</ref> Before meeting, McEwan had listened to some of Lyle’s previous work and liked Lyle’s folk sound. Despite differing musical backgrounds, they bonded over a mutual love of 80s rock and began to write songs together. After initially struggling to define their sound, McEwan suggested that they compose songs in the synthwave style. McEwan had previous exposure to the burgeoning genre and was inspired by the movie [[wikipedia:Drive (2011 film)|Drive]]. The first song they wrote together was [[WeMoveForward]],<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web |date=May 30, 2019 |title=Retrowave Sessions Ep 2: The Midnight - YouTube |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9VPeEZKxlY&t=266s |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220324191102/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9VPeEZKxlY&t=266s |archive-date=March 24, 2022 |access-date=March 24, 2022 |website=YouTube}}</ref> which was included on their debut EP [[Days of Thunder]].

According to Lyle, the name "The Midnight" came from McEwan and himself throwing out random names until they found one that stuck.<ref>{{Cite web |date=May 21, 2019 |title=We are The Midnight and we’re playing Electric Forest for the first time. Ask us Anything! : ElectricForest |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricForest/comments/brea4u/we_are_the_midnight_and_were_playing_electric/eod58sy/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220324191551/https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricForest/comments/brea4u/we_are_the_midnight_and_were_playing_electric/eod58sy/?context=3 |archive-date=March 24, 2022 |access-date=March 24, 2022 |website=Reddit}}</ref> Other band names that they considered were "Lightyears", "Temporary Tigers", and "The Midnight Tigers."

=== Days of Thunder ===
{{Main|Days of Thunder}}
[[File:Days of thunder - ep.jpg|thumb|Days of Thunder EP cover]]
After the initial meeting in 2012, Lyle and McEwan continued writing together over the next two years and independently released their debut EP [[Days of Thunder]] on July 15, 2014.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=July 15, 2014 |title=Days of Thunder {{!}} The Midnight |url=https://themidnight.bandcamp.com/album/days-of-thunder |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220217081123/https://themidnight.bandcamp.com/album/days-of-thunder |archive-date=February 17, 2022 |access-date=April 7, 2022 |website=Bandcamp}}</ref> The EP contains six tracks and was entirely written, produced, and mastered by Lyle and McEwan, with additional instrumentation provided by [[Thomas Edinger]] (saxophone) and [[Oliver McEwan]] (synths).

The band's sound and philosophy were self-described as follows:<ref name=":1" />
<blockquote><poem>There is a Japanese term: Mono no aware. It means basically, the sad beauty of seeing time pass - the aching awareness of impermanence. These are the days that we will return to one day in the future only in memories. How do we capture them? How could we possibly be able to fully appreciate them in the present? This project is our attempt to put time under glass. The Midnight is a marriage between a songwriter from the Deep South and a producer from Denmark who both live in Los Angeles. The songs were written in North Hollywood and Santa Monica over two years and represent the first fruit of The Midnight. This is our love song to our city and a testament to the weight these years can hold.
</poem>
</blockquote>

No singles from the EP were released prior to its release, but in 2016 the label Monstercat Silk issued singles for the songs [[WeMoveForward]] and [[Days of Thunder]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=March 28, 2016 |title=WeMoveForward (incl.

== Style and workflow ==

For most of their career, The Midnight has created a strong and distinct [[wikipedia:synthwave|synthwave]] sound in their music - Tim McEwan once described the band's early albums "as if [[wikipedia:Miami Vice|Miami Vice]] had a baby with a [[wikipedia:John Hughes (filmmaker)|John Hughes]] movie."<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricForest/comments/brea4u/we_are_the_midnight_and_were_playing_electric/eocxrbc/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> However, McEwan has continuously expressed a desire to evolve the synthwave genre and not be confined by it.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricForest/comments/brea4u/we_are_the_midnight_and_were_playing_electric/eod2qsw/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/electronicmusic/comments/horqzi/we_are_the_midnight_our_new_album_monsters_is_out/fxjybht/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=July 9, 2020 |title=THE MIDNIGHT: Tim McEwan And Tyler Lyle On Bringing ‘Monsters’ To Life! |url=https://www.iconvsicon.com/2020/07/09/the-midnight-tim-mcewan-and-tyler-lyle-on-bringing-monsters-to-life/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210224233722/https://www.iconvsicon.com/2020/07/09/the-midnight-tim-mcewan-and-tyler-lyle-on-bringing-monsters-to-life/ |archive-date=February 24, 2021 |access-date=April 3, 2022 |website=Icon Vision}}</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/TheMidnightOfficial/posts/1615738348650978</ref> Tyler Lyle has stated several times that the band's philosophy when composing is "combine, not confine."<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/electronicmusic/comments/horqzi/we_are_the_midnight_our_new_album_monsters_is_out/fxjv91v/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=July 9, 2020 |title=THE MIDNIGHT: Tim McEwan And Tyler Lyle On Bringing ‘Monsters’ To Life! |url=https://www.iconvsicon.com/2020/07/09/the-midnight-tim-mcewan-and-tyler-lyle-on-bringing-monsters-to-life/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210224233722/https://www.iconvsicon.com/2020/07/09/the-midnight-tim-mcewan-and-tyler-lyle-on-bringing-monsters-to-life/ |archive-date=February 24, 2021 |access-date=April 3, 2022 |website=Icon Vision}}</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/X9VPeEZKxlY?t=328</ref> Influences of genres such as [[wikipedia:Lo-fi music|lo-fi]], [[wikipedia:soft rock|soft rock]], [[google:Trance|trance]], and [[wikipedia:vaporwave|vaporwave]] can be heard on ''Monsters'',<ref>{{Cite web |date=July 9, 2020 |title=THE MIDNIGHT: Tim McEwan And Tyler Lyle On Bringing ‘Monsters’ To Life! |url=https://www.iconvsicon.com/2020/07/09/the-midnight-tim-mcewan-and-tyler-lyle-on-bringing-monsters-to-life/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210224233722/https://www.iconvsicon.com/2020/07/09/the-midnight-tim-mcewan-and-tyler-lyle-on-bringing-monsters-to-life/ |archive-date=February 24, 2021 |access-date=April 3, 2022 |website=Icon Vision}}</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/electronicmusic/comments/horqzi/we_are_the_midnight_our_new_album_monsters_is_out/fxjtpi3/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> and Lyle's musical background has brought influences of [[wikipedia:indie folk|indie folk]] and [[wikipedia:Americana (music)|Americana]] to the band's sound as well.<ref>https://edm.com/interviews/the-midnight-interview</ref> Regarding the merging of their individual talents and styles, Lyle has said:<ref>https://www.studentpages.biz/the-midnight-rock-and-roll-with-synthesizers-on-deep-blue/</ref>
<blockquote>
<poem>It’s rock and roll with synthesizers. Tim has a keen ear for production, and I can write songs that fit comfortably within the tradition of 20th century classic pop songwriting. Somewhere in the middle things get interesting.
</poem>
</blockquote>

McEwan employs various digital synths in his production, including Serum, Diva, TAL-U-NO-LX, Spire, and Roland Cloud's Jupiter 8 and Juno 106.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricForest/comments/brea4u/we_are_the_midnight_and_were_playing_electric/eocx180/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricForest/comments/brea4u/we_are_the_midnight_and_were_playing_electric/eod5i0u/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> In mid-2020, he mentioned that his favorite synth to use at the time was U-He's emulation of [[wikipedia:Prophet-5|Prophet-5]], known as Repro 5.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/electronicmusic/comments/horqzi/we_are_the_midnight_our_new_album_monsters_is_out/fxjqzld/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> McEwan has stated that he commonly begins with presets and then tweaks them to his liking.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/electronicmusic/comments/horqzi/we_are_the_midnight_our_new_album_monsters_is_out/fxjwgzr/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> [[wikipedia:Native Instruments|KONTAKT]] is used for sampling.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/outrun/comments/4a5kpz/the_midnight_ama_for_saturday_12th_of_march_2016/d0xkqvn/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/outrun/comments/89rc79/we_are_the_midnight_ask_us_anything/dwt22f6/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> In 2020, both Lyle and McEwan started adding more analog equipment to their audio setups.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CIhET1WlY45/</ref><ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CITz316lq49/</ref><ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CHkFwlhlrOK/</ref><ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CHY7PW2Fx4z/</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/TheMidnightLA/status/1333643661708431361?s=20</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/TheMidnightLA/status/1333867067032838144?s=20</ref><ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CIrja45FWue/</ref><ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CH6xz9eFTDv/</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/TheMidnightLA/status/1327521143931035650?s=20</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/tylerlyle/status/1353388148458479618</ref> In early 2021, McEwan shared that his current home studio consisted of the following equipment:<ref>https://twitter.com/TheMidnightLA/status/1357572298769715200</ref>

Synths, drums, and overall production are handled by McEwan, with Lyle providing guitar, lyrics, and vocals. Lyle has stated that he writes on a daily basis,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/electronicmusic/comments/horqzi/we_are_the_midnight_our_new_album_monsters_is_out/fxjxntw/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> and many lyrics come from a large number of fragments he keeps stored in [[wikipedia:Evernote|Evernote]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/outrun/comments/89rc79/we_are_the_midnight_ask_us_anything/dwt2rvv/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> During a fan question-and-answer session on Twitter prior to the release of ''Monsters'', he mentioned that he "wrote about 250 songs between 2016-2019" and "20 something of those songs got properly demoed/ realistically considered for Monsters."<ref>https://twitter.com/tylerlyle/status/1278430811939835910</ref> Regarding his general writing process and how he writes for The Midnight, Lyle has said:<ref>https://twitter.com/tylerlyle/status/1278433997643821062</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/tylerlyle/status/1278433049483632641</ref>

<blockquote>
<poem>I write The Midnight lyrically (mostly) as the fantasy that I never experienced. I lean a bit utopian sometimes and let the images get grander than I experienced. I was on the debate team. I had a lisp. I was really into Syphon Filter. The fun is in the make believe.<br />
I write everyday. Some of it goes in The Midnight folder. Some of it goes off into far far away places. It works best when Tim has a cool musical skeleton and I have a cool lyrical skeleton we can smush together and build together.
</poem>
</blockquote>
Most of the remaining instrumentation is digital,<ref>https://issuu.com/headlinerhub/docs/headliner_usa_2/28</ref> but on occasion songs (including most with saxophone and guitar solos) will at first have digital instruments that are then outsourced to other musicians to play live on the track. [[Thomas Edinger]] has been the primary saxophone player for The Midnight's releases, and McEwan's brother [[Oliver McEwan|Oliver]] has frequently played bass for the band as well.

For live performances, various setups have been used by the band. Lyle stated that the [[Spring 2019 Tour]] utilized an [[wikipedia:Ableton Live|Ableton]] rig, with McEwan using an SPD SX sampling pad and MIDI controller.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricForest/comments/brea4u/we_are_the_midnight_and_were_playing_electric/eodcug3/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> Lyle ran his guitars through a Kemper profiling amp, and he also used an OP1 for certain synth moments and pads. Most shows will also feature live bass, acoustic, and electric guitars, as well as live saxophone. Since the [[Fall 2019 Tour]], the band's touring lineup has consisted of McEwan on synths and drums, Lyle on guitar and synths, [[Jupiter Winter|Lelia Broussard]] on guitar and synths, and [[Jesse Molloy]] on saxophone and synths. Lyle is the primary vocalist and the others perform backing vocals. Molloy has been with the band since their first live shows in 2017, though other saxophone players will occasionally fill in for him, particularly at shows outside of the US.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/BWyc6WrhAIl/</ref><ref>https://soundcloud.com/beyond-synth/170-themidnight</ref> Broussard joined the band prior to the start of the Fall 2019 Tour Tour.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Interview with Lelia Broussard |url=https://askjens.themidnight.wiki/interview-with-lelia-broussard |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210615153534/https://askjens.themidnight.wiki/interview-with-lelia-broussard |archive-date=June 15, 2021 |access-date=March 24, 2022 |website=Ask Jens}}</ref> [[Nikki Flores]] occasionally appears at some shows as a vocalist, performing her collaborations with the band in addition to singing vocals on [[Sunset]].
