Tyler Glenn, center, and his Neon Trees bandmates, Before the new tour, Neon Trees’ Tyler Glenn reflects on the decade since he came out RICH LOPEZ | Staff writerrich@dallasvoice.com Almost a decade ago, Tyler Glenn spoke with Dallas Voice as he was heading to the city with the band Neon Trees.
At that point, the band had released its album Pop Psychology and was on tour, but also, Glenn had just come out in the pages of Rolling Stone magazine.
Today, he and Neon Trees are back on the road with new music, and Glenn continues his queer journey. The band released its newest single, “Favorite Daze,” in June, previewing the new record.
But Neon Trees is getting a head start by hitting the road this fall with a stop in Dallas at The Echo Lounge on Sept. 21. Prior to the show, Glenn spoke again with Dallas Voice about the new music but also on those years since his coming out as the queer person he is today, having recently received the Human Rights Campaign Visibility Award at the 2023 HRC Utah Dinner. Dallas Voice: Can we jump immediately back to the first chat you had with DV just after coming out publicly?
