Manchester Orchestra Bringing Fun, Winston Audio, Audrye Sessions Out on Tour

Mancester Orchestra, Fun, Winston Audio touring together

UPDATE: We have the tour dates now. They’re at the bottom of the post

When I first heard about the possibility of this tour materializing a few weeks ago, I was almost flabbergasted. This might as well be titled the “Buzzgrinder Broke Us Tour.” It’s not that we’re getting big heads around here. I mean, nobody really “breaks” a band these days anymore. Especially a music blog with bad taste like us.

It’s just that this is unprecedented. Three bands that we were way ahead of the curve on — Manchester Orchestra, Fun and Winston Audio — are all heading out on tour together. Or at least for one date. And they’re all doing pretty well these days, too. Oh, and Audrye Sessions is on the bill, too. We didn’t discover them and all, but they’re still good.

Since there’s been no official announcement (this is based on a single concert poster, after all), there are no dates to report at this time. However, we’ll have them for you as soon as we get them.

Manchester Orchestra – I’ve Got Friends
Fun – Benson Hedges
Winston Audio – Keeping It Down
