This past Friday LAist got to hang out with some of the bands playing at this year's Warped Tour. Assembled at the Plush lounge downstairs at the Key Club was a crowd of cameras and microphones vying for the attention of some choice bands as Reel Big Fish, The Aggrolites, and Katy Perry. The bands played a show signifying the kick off of Warped Tour, making it generally awesome that the show starts and ends in Los Angeles at the Home Depot Center on August 17th.

For a full list of bands on this year's Tour, check out the Official Warped Tour Site.
