Drummers, as Tony Thaxton of Motion City Soundtrack admits, are often the least focused on member of a band, so let’s get you up to speed. Tony has never touched a drug, doesn’t have any tattoos or piercings, confided his wrestler name would be Action Thaxton, and his favorite Star Wars quote is, “I have no need for a protocol droid.” Now that the essentials have been covered, here are a couple other minute details; Thaxton joined Motion City right before the recording of their first full-length I Am the Movie, and the band released their latest album Even if it Kills Me last September. The band is currently relaxing at home before they head out for a month’s worth of international shows. I talked to Tony via phone while MCS was getting ready for their show in Norfolk, Virginia.
