Kevin Devine to Support Manchester Orchestra on UK Tour

Having recently confirmed their own UK headline tour, KEVIN DEVINE AND THE GODDAMN BAND have announced that they will be supporting Atlantan alt-rockers MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA on their September UK tour. Opening the shows will be BAD BOOKS, whose members include Kevin Devine and Manchester Orchestra front-man Andy Hull.
