Saint Motel kept not only your ears entertained, but your eyes, as well as they, brought the Motion Picture Show to Emo’s.  As they leave the saintmotelevision era behind, it’s only natural their show has grown from TV to the silver screen theme.  Playing in front of a backdrop of no less than 14 little screens that made up a patchwork big screen, the band put on a blockbuster show that was worthy of an Oscar.  The giant venue was packed and it felt like everyone was a part of the show as the band engaged with the crowd and A/J Jackson made not only a lap around the crowd but made his way onto the back bars all the while singing.  Not only having a ridiculously entertaining stage presence, they performed perfectly in sync and astounding.  With bated breath, we can only imagine where the next era will contain.
