No, theyre not a group of four young lads from Liverpool and theyre not a British rock group from the 60s -- theyre Motion City Soundtrack. Justin Pierre, Joshua Cain, Matthew Taylor, Jesse Johnson and Claudio Rivera make up the Minneapolis-based band, which formed in 1997. Ive interviewed band members via email, over the phone, in person after gigs and before the show in the green room. This was one time where I got to sit on the couch next to someone whod been a voice in my head for the past 7 years one of two founding members of my favorite band that has been the soundtrack of my youth. With the help of guitar player Cain, I was able to get answers to burning questions Id had about all things Motion City. For years, Id imagined what it would be like to meet the band. Id been to seven shows in two different states. The combination of staying after shows, mixed with a bit of dumb luck, enabled me to get pictures taken twice with the lead singer Pierre. But after that, the only thing that transpired was just a Uh, you guys were great, and an awkward nod. Oct. 17 approached and I got to the venue early. I parked nearby and eagerly waited. All that was left to do was the happy dance. A game of phone tag commenced between the bands tour manager and myself. Then the voice of Jesus himself spoke to me. In reality, it wasnt Jesus, but Im a bit of a drama queen. The moment was here. I proudly walked past the line of people outside the doors, waiting in the cold, crisp fall air. I opened the door and was greeted by Anthony, the bands tour manager. He proceeded to lead me through the door marked employees only, over the cement floor yet to be covered in beer, past the opening acts sound check, up

the stairs of the stage, and through another door. I knew instantly that not many other people often get to go through this door. I was special. But not in that way your mom calls you special, and not like the Kelloggs cereal, but an exception. I was backstage. And I couldnt help but feel out of the ordinary. I couldnt help but realize this is one of the best jobs I could ever imagine.
