"And so the excitement behind this whole thing is like, Where else can we be disruptive?"

All-American Rejects play rowdy house party in East Nashville and it almost didn't happen: 'This is where rock 'n' roll is born'
Shhh! On May 21, The All-American Rejects let Music City in on a "Dirty Little Secret": An East Nashville backyard pop-up show. But it wasn't a secret for long. In the latest installment of the "Gives You Hell" band's spontaneous free house party shows — which have led them to go viral on social media — the alternative rockers visited Nashville, announcing the show's location only hours before on social media. Hundreds of folks crowded into the yard of a Nashville home, screaming the lyrics to "Dirty Little Secret" and "Swing Swing" as Tyson Ritter and the band fed the rabid crowd boisterous early aughts bangers. More: All-American Rejects pop-up show rocks Columbia house party; police arrive but allow encore Ritter, the band's lead singer, went on TikTok earlier on May 21 to announce that the band would be "playing a city tonight," writing in the caption, "So it's Nashville tonight… but where? Better RSVP cause we aren't gonna post on socials." Soon enough, 16,000 people had RSVPed for the party via a link on the band's socials. It didn't take long for Nashvillians to figure out the address — a tour bus sat parked out front and a spray-painted sheet touted the band's name on the house's front porch. After the overwhelming amount of RSVPs, the band posted online. "We are currently unsure if we will be able to play tonight now for security reasons," they said on their Instagram story. But the show went on. The concert comes as the band's sixth pop-up performance on The All-American Rejects' North American tour ahead of their upcoming album, which will be the group's first in 13 years. After the band released their new track "Sandbox" on April 24, they began the series of surprise shows. Their first show was at the University of Southern California on April 30; they recently performed on a farm in Iowa, at a graduation party in Columbia, Missouri and at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay's campus during finals week. It's safe to say The All-American Rejects are bringing in a new age of house parties. "Welcome to the Sandbox Era," they've coined the epoch. More: All-American Rejects crashing house parties around the US. Where to next? Getting into the band's Nashville show was no easy task. Groups crowded out in front of the house, peering into the backyard after the party hit capacity. But the backyard concert did not disappoint. Ritter delivered powerful vocals alongside his band, playing tracks including a tune off the new album, "Easy Come Easy Go," their recently-released song "Sandbox," and "Move Along," where Ritter invited Nashville guitar virtuoso Grace Bowers onstage to play with the band. As Ritter's raspy, emotive voice rung out amid flurries of electric guitar and surging percussion, crowd members piled onto one another's shoulders to get a better view, they sat atop fences, perched on the roof and listened from the alleyway behind the house. Towards the end of the show, Ritter addressed the crowd. "This is where rock 'n' roll is born — the back yard!" he said. "Rock 'n' roll isn't born on TikTok." It was a rowdy night — but in an old-school rock 'n' roll kind of way that shows we don't have to be nostalgic for raucous, musical house parties. They're back. Ava Cavasos, an East Nashville videographer who hosted the party, said The All-American Rejects' team reached out to her a few weeks ago. Cavasos has gained a reputation in Nashville for throwing some epic parties with her roommates, outdoor shows that have featured a four or five band bill. They've called the gatherings, backyard live music parties, productions of their collective "Girl House." Of the dozen shows Cavasos has helped to put on, one raised funds for reproductive rights, while others funneled the proceeds right back to the bands, she said. This party was their biggest "Girl House" show yet. "I've been screaming 'Gives You Hell' since I was like five years old," Cavasos told The Tennessean before the party. "I think it's an honor being noticed for what I do as something that just brings me joy," she said, "but the fact that it actually cultivates community, and the way that it does, is just something that's so special." Fans concurred. "I cannot lie, this is the most East Nashville experience I've ever had in my time living here," said concertgoer Jojo Fogarty. "Leave it to anywhere but East Nashville to bring the community together like this — the amount of people here, the amount of smiles I saw on people's faces, the amount of joy. Let's just say that the backyard was full and the alley was fuller." Audrey Gibbs is a music journalist for The Tennessean.

The All-American Rejects house party tour looks like the most fun show you could imagine
The All-American Rejects house party tour looks like the most fun show you could imagine Show Caption Hide Caption Watch as All-American Rejects perform surprise show Less than 30 hours after the show was announced, hundreds attended the All-American Rejects' surprise show in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The All-American Rejects are playing house shows, bowling alleys, and barns across the country. Everyone, but especially the band, is loving it. AAR is a band that formed in 1999 and some of their biggest singles (e.g. "Dirty Little Secret" and "Move Along" and "It Ends Tonight") released in 2005. They provided songs for soundtracks from the early aughts in movies like She's The Man or TV shows like One Tree Hill and Smallville. Their cultural footprint is one rooted in nostalgia (like when they headlined the When We Were Young festival in 2022) not just for their own music but for a sound and feeling of decades past. That's why their recent shows are especially cool: It's making fans feel young again. USA TODAY: All-American Rejects singer answers burning questions about those viral pop-up shows All-American Rejects frontman Tyson Ritter said that they're the "best shows" they've ever played in their lives. Here is more (via Rolling Stone): "It feels great to flip the bird to the giant titanic music industry. I only hope young bands can see this as an inspiring way to disrupt this market. People are tired of being force-fed everything. Music is seen before it's heard. We're in the age of celebrity-defining success. If you're a popular artist, you could literally fart on a microphone and have a hit song. That's a shame." Inspired by their early years of playing student-promoted backyards and basements, they wanted to connect back to their roots and DIY origins back when they were sleeping in their van. They have played in front of 5,000 people in Iowa and as intimate as 400 people in suburban Chicago. Ritter added that while his band has an upcoming tour with The Jonas Brothers and will soon play MetLife Stadium, he already knows that it won't "hold a candle" to the house show in Nashville. The band is reportedly using footage from these shows to make a music video for an upcoming single. You can RSVP for one of their house parties by clicking here.
