UPDATE!! Manchester rolled through last week and played a few songs for us in The Herd studio. Plus, I sat down with them for a quick interview to talk about tour and their love for the NBA. This is the first time we've done anything like this so I'd love any kind of constructive feedback on what you like / how to make it better for next time. Manchester Orchestra - Top Notch & Cope (ESPN Acoustic Sessions) Manchester Orchestra - Interview Manchester Orchestra - SportsNation Chat END UPDATE!! Hello VC friends! On Wednesday I'm bringing Manchester Orchestra through ESPN and I've got a few things planned that I wanted to let everyone know about. We're going to shoot a quick video of them playing a few songs and I'll make sure to pass along the link as soon as we get that up on the site. The reason for this thread is because we're having them do a SportsNation chat and I was hoping to generate some interest for the guys. It's looking like the chat will be at 2:30pm ET (though that's tentative) and you'll be able to talk to the guys about pretty much anything. It'll be moderated so you'll have to keep it clean (nothing NSFW), but it should be a ton of fun. If you can't make the chat but you still have a question that you're wanting to ask them, send it along as a reply and I'll do my best to take a few of the questions and ask them in the interview I'll be doing with them as well. Obviously my bosses are looking for sports questions, but send along anything you'd like and we'll see what we can do. My goal is to start making this a "thing" when I know bands are coming through the New York / Boston area and I'm stoked Manchester was kind enough to let me borrow them for their day off. Hopefully this one goes well and that'll help convince the higher ups that this is something worth doing on a semi-regular basis. As soon as I have a definitive time for the chat I'll let you guys know so you can try and make it. Thanks for any and all help in trying to make this trial run with "ESPN the Music" a successful one!

We're finally getting out to the West Coast. Hopefully one of these shows is sort of near you. * = Restorations only * 10/6 Pittsburgh, PA @ The Smiling Moose * 10/7 Normal, IL @ The Firehouse * 10/8 Chicago, IL @ Beat Kitchen * 10/9 Rolla, MO @ Havener Center Atrium at MSU * 10/10 St. Louis, MO @ The Firebird * 10/11 Kansas City, MO @ Czar Bar * 10/12 Denver, CO @ Seventh Circle https://www.facebook.com/events/618387428182983/ * 10/13 Salt Lake City, UT @ Kilby Court 10/15 Seattle, WA @ Sunset Tavern 10/16 Portland, OR @ Bunk Bar 10/17 Oakland, CA @ 1234 Go Records 10/18 Long Beach, CA @ Alex's Bar 10/19 La Jolla, CA @ Che Cafe 10/20 Los Angeles, CA @ The Satellite 10/22 Scottsdale, AZ @ Pub Rock 10/23 Albuquerque, NM @ Gasworks 10/24 Austin, TX @ Mohawk 10/25 Dallas, TX @ Bryan St. Tavern 10/26 Houston, TX @ Fitzgerald's 10/27 New Orleans, LA @ Circle Bar * 10/29 Tampa, FL @ The Ritz * 10/30 Orlando, FL @ Wills Pub 11/2 Gainesville, FL @ THE FEST / 11:30pm @ The Wooly 11/3 Atlanta, GA @ The Earl 11/5 Durham, NC @ Motorco 11/6 Richmond, VA @ Strange Matter 11/7 Baltimore, MD @ Metro Gallery https://www.facebook.com/events/1407220219493943/ 11/8 Asbury Park, NJ @ Asbury Lanes https://www.facebook.com/events/1400111436880892/ 11/9 Brooklyn, NY @ St. Vitus 11/10 Boston, MA @ Great Scott
