For someone who's never heard of Motionless in White, their live show is the perfect introduction. Sure, one would prefer to know the songs before seeing a band live, but Motionless in White is one of the rare examples of a band whose live performance takes you hostage and never lets you go.

True to their CD Creatures, this show opens with a daring "What the fuck?!" The song, "Immaculate Misconception," lays forth the groundwork which seems to be everything this band has come from and stands for. Listening carefully to singer Chris "Motionless" Cerulli, you will hear lyrics that, simply put, tell it like it is. Lyrics such as "All I want is to reach someone / to say something that could change their life forever / To let them know they're not alone, you're not alone" do not fall on deaf ears to a crowd of teenagers, most of whom presumably are up against many struggles.

After reeling in the fans with "Immaculate Misconception," Chris asks, "Who here has heard of a movie called "Twilight"?" The girls go wild, but this doesn't phase Chris. He turns right back around and says, "Yeah, well, FUCK "TWILIGHT"! He may've made a small portion of people angry, but, you'd never know -- the majority of the crowd screams their support. Motionless in White launch into "We Only Come Out at Night," written about the movie "The Lost Boys" (long before your time, youngsters). If this song loses some fans from the premise of the lyrics, you certainly can't tell. The crowd goes crazy right on into the title track, "Creatures," as they should -- it's composed almost entirely of fan-submitted lyrics. Like I said, this band is here for and because of its fans, and they certainly show it.

If there are still some people in the crowd unsure of this band (and, how could they be at this point?), Chris leads into the next song by telling that they have not yet played this particular song on this tour. That song? Their cover of Rob Zombie's "Dragula." Fan of Rob Zombie or not, this cover seems to get every last person interested in their set.

Immediately after comes my personal favorite part of the band's set (okay, you got me, this was not my first time). Chris connects with the crowd on a personal level. He reaches out to everyone who has been made fun of for how they dress or just for the music blaring on their iPod in the halls at school. He dedicates "Puppets (The First Snow)" to everyone who has ever gone through this type of bullying simply for being themselves. An appropriate introduction and dedication, with lyrics such as, "I've never had the words to say, but I can quote them all / I am human and I need to be loved just like everybody else does." This song, though one of the most angry lyrically, doesn't seem to get the crowd moving as much as some of the other songs, perhaps because newbies have taken a moment to listen to what Chris has written. But, no worries, set-ender, "Abigail," is one of the harder hitting songs from the album, and is sure to have left the crowd with a great impression of a band that many may not have been there to see.
