Tyler Rann (Midtown)

Guitarist/singer/sharp dressed man Tyler Rann graces us with his presence to share some tuff gigs from his days in influential late nineties/early aughts New Jersey-based pop-punk practioneers Midtown.  From waking up in trailer parks before the first show of their first tour to performing on indian reservations with natives to bringing bands like My Chemical Romance, New Found Glory, and Fallout Boy on their first tour (only to have those acts eclipse Midtown in terms of popularity), to spending way too much money on music videos and carousing with the cast of the Real World/Road Rules Challenge in Jamaica, Tyler sheds some light on a time when kids playing basement shows quickly found themselves performing in arenas.  Plenty of potent pop-punk potatables on this week's WORST GIG EVER!
