A Billion Bees Trapped In My Chest

So, those of you who are my friend over on the MOST understand that this is a. because I heart M.O. and b. because it's an order and LJ is a great outlet like that (and I'm sure I'll see similar from you guys :D)

Anyway, there's this great band called Manchester Orchestra from Georgia that's touring this summer with another band called Colour Revolt. It's their first headlining tour and they're such an amazing band. If you haven't heard them, your going to need to head over to their myspace or their website and check them out.

You know how we all have music for special purposes? Like there's that one band we listen to in order to make us feel infinite, that other band that you listen to when you're reading, that other band to make a bad day good and that other band you jam to in the car? Well, Manchester Orchestra encompasses all of those aspects for me. I haven't found a time where they're not good to listen to and that's pretty hard to say because I'm a musical elitist and all.

So with that, here's summer tour information and I expect you all to at least give them a chance. Hey, tickets are cheap. Me and my debt-student-loan-fucked-up-the-ass-negative-balance-bank-account can afford eight dollar's.
