As Halloween approaches, we talked to the guys in Midland about some of their best Halloween costumes. Jess Carson recalls one awesome costume that essentially fell into his lap when he was working in a vintage clothing store in Oregon. He says, “This is when (the movie) Royal Tenenbaums came out (starring Danny Glover, Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston, Bill Murray, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, and Owen Wilson). That exact suit, that camel colored suit (worn by Luke Wilson’s character), came into the store and then the exact red white and blue striped headband and wristbands. I didn’t even have an idea of what to dress up for but it came in. The suit fit me perfectly … I had the sneakers and the racket and it was like literally the most spot on.”
Mark Wystrach jokes, “It’s like a Cinderella story.”
Based on their touring schedule, it looks like Midland will have Halloween night off, although we haven’t heard if they plan to dress up this year or not. Perhaps the “Make A Little” singers will celebrate early on The Lucky Tonight Tour with JonPardi, which will be in Orange Beach, Alabama this Saturday.
Midland – Halloween :23
