Motion City Soundtrack draws fans to the Palladium

The crowd was definitely into them; it's about time this band gets some recognition. Lead singer, Dave Elkins scored some points when he broke out a Red Sox hat in honor of the recent World Series win.

I think Mae has nothing to worry about in its future. New bass player Josiah Schlater and keyboardist Robert Smith are great musicians and the perfect replacements on tour.

Motion City Soundtrack, undoubtedly the band the majority of the crowd was there to see, closed out the show. Motion City Soundtrack delivered its usual high-energy performance with a nice mix of old and new songs.

The band has recently gained even more popularity with the recent release of Even if it Kills Me and occasional appearances on MTV's TRL.

Looking at the crowd below as I stood at the bar area was quite a sight. Motion City Soundtrack's live show is definitely worth seeing. Just watching keyboardist Jesse Johnson play is entertainment enough.

The sea of kids moshing and crowd surfing said it all. Then I felt really old when I realized the average age of Motion City Soundtrack's fan base was probably somewhere in the ballpark of 15. In the end Motion City Soundtrack is worth seeing again; you're guaranteed to have a good time at one of its shows.
