Seeing Manchester Orchestra, tonight!

Sitting at the airport at the moment, and with half an hour to spare before I have go and start the process of getting through the security posts I finally found a power outlet. Sweet joy, this means my iPhone won’t be dead by the time I land in Los Angeles!

But wait, Los Angeles? I thought you were going to Houston, you might be thinking. And you are correct. But I’m making a pit-stop in LA first. Right before I ordered my plane tickets overseas I got an e-mail in my inbox about Manchester Orchestra going on a headline tour, and I knew right then and there that I had to organize my trip so that I would be able to catch one of their shows. They have been one of my absolute favourite musical acts since I discovered their debut album, Like a Virgin Losing a Child, shortly after it dropped, and the with the tour coinciding with my arrival in the States I knew I couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

And as a result, I’m flying to LA today to catch their show at the Troubadour, before continuing to Houston where I will be doing my three month internship. I’m so excited about it I absolutely cannot wait, and earlier when I was on the plane listening to their latest album, Mean Everything To Nothing, I litterally got chills all over just from thinking about finally getting to see these guys live! Because of the time difference it’s already Wednesday morning here, but when I land in LA in about 17 hours it’ll only be noon over there. Hopefully there aren’t any significant delays, because I’ve practically timed this whole trip with minute precision!

Anyways, my time is almost up and I have to get moving to the gate. I’ll of course be keeping all of those who are interested updated on my journey through this here blog and Twitter. If I’m not too exhausted after the concert I’ll try to get write a short post with my impressions, but it’ll be pretty hectic so you might have to wait until the weekend.
