Tonight only: Manchester Orchestra movie
October 26th, 2007 by Mosi Reeves in Music news
I know that Rodney Carmichael posted an item about Manchester Orchestra yesterday, but he neglected to mention that the fast-rising quintet has two events tonight, Oct. 26. The first takes place at 7 p.m. at Aurora Coffee at 468 Moreland Ave. (next to Criminal Records) and is a free screening of What’s Left Behind. The 40-minute documentary was directed by Sam Erickson, who also helmed My Morning Jacket’s 2006 live DVD Okonokos. And yes, free snacks and coffee will be provided. If you need more convincing, check out a trailer of What’s Left Behind here.
After that, skedaddle over to Drunken Unicorn, where Manchester Orchestra will co-headline a concert with Annuals. If you’ve seen the Raleigh, N.C., band during its frequent visits here (including a performance at the Variety Playhouse, where they basically blew the Dears off the stage), then you know that Annuals is a fine live act. Watch out, Andy Hull! If you’re completely unfamiliar with Manchester Orchestra’s charms, read my Oct. 12 CL profile here.

Annuals are stuck in Europe apparently, so it’ll just be Manchester Orchestra and The Never – still a wicked show!

Thanks for the update, Leila.
