Tim and Tyler from The Midnight join us for some really great discussion. They talk about how the band started, writing music in different cities, the origins of Synth Wave, what it was like crafting music for L.A. commercials, and the intricacies of what it looks like to go on tour. We've been chatting with the band and going to shows since they first started touring so it was an honor to host them in the shop for a truly special day.
