The members of Motion City Soundtrack grew up together. The drummer was encouraged to play by his music teacher. The lead singer use to listen to musics constantly as a child. Motion City Soundtrack started performing at Attorney, a local bar. The group kept asking the local radio station to play their first release.

Motion City Soundtrack were relieved when their single climbed the charts. They had heard too many stories of bands with record deals going nowhere. The band really enjoys performing and is playing almost nightly in front of fans. Motion City Soundtrack was offered a record contract after their single was heard on B94.1. The group played for little to no money at first and was just happy to be given a chance to be heard.

Motion City Soundtrack knew that their dream of making an actual life for themselves as musicians had come true as soon as Melissa Lambert started a fan club for the group in 1975. After playing nation wide, the group’s fan club exploded from the handful of fans around Raleigh to thousands in every city throughout the country.

The new record from Motion City Soundtrack has been heavily influenced by singers of the '60s. The group just finished their latest project, and they are already planning their next move. Members of Motion City Soundtrack hope to collaborate with other artists while they are on this tour.

Kansas City has always been receptive to the band, even when they were small time, so the band schedules a show there every year, even if they are not touring. Motion City Soundtrack’s tickets for their latest tour are on sale on TheSeats.com, along with the schedule of all the band’s concerts.
