Atlanta-based indie rockers Manchester Orchestra are on the road honoring the tenth anniversary of their sophomore album Mean Everything to Nothing. The US trek kicked off November 20 in Honolulu, Hawaii and is expected to come to a close December 8 in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Upon its initial release in 2009, Mean Everything to Nothing reached No. 11 on the US rock charts and No. 37 on the Billboard 200 album chart, spawning the top 10 hit, "I've Got Friends." The album also features songs "Shake It Out," "The River" and "100 Dollars."
So far, members Andy Hull (vocals, rhythm guitar), Robert McDowell (guitar, keys), Tim Very (drums) and Andy Prince (bass) have been performing a slew of songs from their entire discography.
