The very popular song “Give It Up” appeared in the summer of 2004 in the box-office hit: “Spider-Man 2” soundtrack. It was also featured on the EA Games title: “Burnout 3: Takedown” in the autumn of 2004. In 2005 the band deferred and continued projects elsewhere. The lead singer/bass player Gabe Saporta, who is currently a member of Cobra Starship, had to clarify the situation. When asked why Midtown had deferred, he had this to say: ”Well, Midtown’s not broken up. Basically, after our last tour we were supposed to start writing new stuff and then our friends in Senses Fail needed a guitar player so they asked Heath to go out and that turned into a longer thing. I had been working with beats, like on the last Midtown album I did a lot of experimenting with beats and I wanted to take a different approach to song-writing. I wanted to do something a little more fun, because Midtown had gotten really serious which was good and it was a good outlet for me but I wanted to do something that would showcase my personality.” However, many fans now have the impression that Midtown will never re-unite, as all of the members now have other projects. Saporta has stated that one final show is going to happen in the future sometime in New Jersey . When it’s going to happen is unknown at this time due to the ongoing projects.
