Coming Soon: Motion City Soundtrack to Saint Paul

Twin Cities, your hometown favorites Motion City Soundtrack return to town for a Valentine’s Day show on February 14th at the Palace Theatre. And after lead singer Justin Courtney Pierre had to withdraw from the band’s appearance at last year’s Minnesota Yacht Club Festival, this concert is bound to be a hit. Co-headlining is Say Anything and additional support comes from Sincere Engineer.

Motion City Soundtrack will be the first ones to tell you that The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World wasn’t necessarily an easy album to make, but now that it’s finished it’s a document of the last ten years that shows them growing as people alongside their music. “I think that if you look at a lot of our past records, it’s about ‘What’s wrong? What am I not getting right? Why do I feel fucking crazy? Why can’t I figure this out’… and I figured it out,” Pierre admits. “It’s  almost like I felt I didn’t have an identity [in the past] and now by working through the hard stuff, I know who I am.” That sense of self-discovery is mirrored by the music, so when the final track fades out with just acoustic guitar and Pierre’s vocals it may be the conclusion of the album, but it’s the beginning of another chapter for Motion City Soundtrack’s collective journey.

But limited tickets remain, so hurry and move to First Avenue to secure yours!
