Red, White and Bruised: The Midnight Live
by The Midnight
The Midnight have announced their first live album Red, White and Bruised: The Midnight Live out 1th September on Counter Records. The album will be available digitally as well as limited edition LP and Cassette.
All tracks are taken from their sold-out 2022 US tour in support of their latest studio album Heroes and includes fan favourites like “Sunset”, "Days of Thunder" and "Deep Blue" that displayed “flashy, irresistible melodies and unashamedly shiny productions with mature philosophical lyrical content” (Juno Daily).
The announcement also comes with a special ‘band on the run’ style music video of footage from the fall tour set over Heroes standout track “Heroes”.
The limited edition vinyl released earlier this year for Record Store Day and sold out immediately will see a wider release along with cassettes will be available in 1 of 3 random colours pressed in equal amounts: Blue, Red or ‘Natural’ Clear. Each colour will be randomly packed with no external cue as to which colour is available within the package. The vinyl is housed in a gatefold sleeve with MirriBoard hologram effect alongside a poster insert and download code.
The Midnight’s Fall 2022 tour that followed the release of 'Heroes' saw The Midnight play at high-profile festival Austin City Limits Festival (whose lineup includes Phoenix, James Blake, Flume, and Sofi Tukker) and headline the Hollywood Palladium, the band’s biggest Los Angeles show to date. Their Spring 2022 tour had the band playing high-capacity venues including sold-out stops at Brooklyn Steel, The Wiltern, 9:30 Club, First Avenue, Royale, Majestic Theatre, and more. They also sold out London’s Brixton Academy, playing to 5k fans. The Express lauded their Brixton show, noting that The Midnight “without question, one of the next iconic rock acts of the generation.” Fall 2023 will see the Midnight hitting the road yet again hitting several stops throughout Texas, The Midwest, and New York.
The Midnight released ‘Heroes’–featuring rousing and electrifying singles including “Change Your Heart or Die”, “Heartbeat”, “Avalanche”, “Brooklyn. Friday. Love.”, and “Heart Worth Breaking”–in September 2022, garnering acclaim from the likes of The Express, New Noise Magazine, Music Radar, AllMusic, Juno Daily and The A.V. Club who said “the way these guys walk that retro line—vintage sounds, more modern singing styles—that allows them to relate to a wider audience and make a sultry ’80s sax solo sound cool again.”
"Red, White and Bruised: The Midnight Live", The Midnight’s first live recording on vinyl is available Sept 1 on Bandcamp and themidnightofficial.com.
