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.

Music VersaEmerge on the Verge
Bands like VersaEmerge are one of the greatest parts about SXSW. The scrappy quintet of Florida pop punk rockers was unloading their own equipment when I caught up with them. They recently released an EP on the Fueled By Ramen, and are going to be one of the headlining acts on this year’s Warped Tour.
