Motion City Soundtrack's Valentine's Day Show at the House of Blues

Posted on February 17, 2010 - 4:34pm by terra Valentines day at the House of Blues... a fairly intimate venue for an overly intimate night.  Couples were sprinkled throughout a swarm of teenage girls screaming for "Motion City Soundtrack!"  One particular fan had the words "I'm Legal" written across her barely-legal chest to entice a band member to take her back to the hotel.

Hmm... I wonder if it worked.  Anyway...

Lead singer Justin Pierre and his funky fresh hair delivered a solid performance and really got the crowd going when he sang 'A Lifeless Ordinary' from their new album, 'My Dinosaur Life.'

The keyboardist Jesse Johnson has first-class stage presence.  A few fans joked about Jesse having the least to do on stage, but bringing the most flair.  His maniacal fist pumps and head banging sucked you in and kept your eyes focused on the stage.  I can't lie,  I threw a couple pumps in the air myself.  Jesse really dove into the music and gave as good of a performance as physically possible.



For not being much of a pop-punk fan, I enjoyed this show a lot.

For just a small taste of what these guys are like live, watch the video below.
