“Really nice people, the guys from Portugal. The Man! After the concert, John Gourley (singer) asked around where the other band members were hanging around, so that my ticket could get signed by everybody!”

Vote for Portugal. the Man for Most Extreme Fan Outreach -
Do our followers really need a description?
They’ve held office hours many times via phone calls (talked to Zach on the phone once) and skype
They’re always taking pictures with fans and sometimes hangout with them after shows
They’ve had uStream’s where fans can ask questions live
Most of the band members even have twitters and instagrams to let us, the fans, in the know of what’s going on in their day-to-day schedules
Oh yeah and they even set up a section on their site to ask fans for their stories and pictures and if you decide not to upload them yourself you can also email them to PTMTour@gmail.com
and if that’s not enough they even asked for our support when their gear was stolen—-which was mostly recovered.
This is definitely something that Portugal. The Man should win so make sure to vote! Cool thing about it is that you can vote lots of times!
