Prior to interviewing Motion City Soundtrack’s Justin Pierre, we decided to put him through the Dustin Downing “School of Candid Photography. “Pierre was open minded enough to play along as we hoisted him onto the balcony of a 2-story abandoned building and had him borrow various reading material from the stash of a Sunset Strip homeless man. Although the dismount from the disheveled building was not pretty – picture Downing with Pierre on his shoulders in a manic frenzy of trying to avoid rusty nails and a wrong step on a cement staircase – the photos turned out rather stellar. We’re happy to say that Pierre survived, was able to grab some much needed hand sanitizer and arrive safely back at his hotel.
Kicking it by the pool at The Grafton hotel, Pierre told us about the band’s upcoming 4 Albums, 2 Nights, 7 Cities tour that they will officially kick off in Los Angeles on August 19th and 20th at the House of Blues. He also discussed doing the voice of a 12- year old boy in the animated series “Godkiller” and being called a “good weirdo” by Margot Kidder at Comic Con.
