Motion City Soundtrack stole the show Sunday with an over-the-top introduction to their boisterous set. The event kicked off with M.C.S. marching through the crowd hitting bongos and hand drums while the Freedom High School drum line pounded from the stage in full regalia. When the gypsy procession reached the stage, the chaps joined the 30 or so percussionists already on stage, & slammed into crowd favorite “Everything is Alright.” At the first power chord, the pits started churning like your strawberry mango smoothie and they didn’t quit till the last note.
January saw the release of the band’s latest album “My Dinosaur Life,” produced by Blink-182 bassist/producer/friend Mark Hoppus. Motion City Soundtrack will be coming to a city near you this summer with the Vans Warped Tour.
