Naarm/Melbourne band MID CITY have dropped their epic new single “Happy Ever After.” It’s the title track from the band’s forthcoming debut, and if it doesn’t make you excited for that release I don’t know what will. Hit that volume, because you’ll want to listen to this one loud.
“‘Happy Ever After’ took us, no joke, two years to write. It was a COVID lockdown demo that was kicking around in 17 different versions and we just couldn’t crack it,” the band admitted. “It wasn’t until we completely rethought what a MID CITY song could be that it came together. And when it did finally come together it was the most satisfying feeling we’ve ever had from making music. It has become the flag bearer for the whole album. In a funny kind of poetic way it sums up so much of what the band has been for us – always struggling and striving and hoping we can break out of our own situations and make something worth all of that.”
You can just tell this song will go off live. Hometown fans get the chance to experience that when MID CITY play The Gaso on August 19. With their debut album dropping on August 25, it shouldn’t be too long before we hear of some more MID CITY shows around the country.
