Daniel Dopp Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadDonut Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I thought they were all big Atlanta Hawks fans? This is really cool none the less! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 hey andy, the spurs were always the most boring franchise on earth, but have actually been relatively entertaining in this playoff run. how close is your song-writing to turning that same corner?

3arl Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I thought they were all big Atlanta Hawks fans? This is really cool none the less! I think remember him saying something about really liking the Nuggets one time in Denver and then listed off the whole roster on stage. But that could've been another band. Hawks would obviously make more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
