Performances
Eisley performed as an unsigned indie band for many years between 1998 and 2003 – mostly clubs in Texas.
Eisley's first major tour was support for Coldplay's Rush of Blood to the Head tour in the US and at the V Festival in England. Over the years, Eisley has also toured with Dave Matthews Band, Brand New, Snow Patrol, New Found Glory, Hot Hot Heat, Switchfoot, Taking Back Sunday, The Fray, Bleach and Mutemath. The band has also toured several times as a headlining act. Their first headlining tour, "Winter West" was in early 2005 with The Elected and The Colour. This was followed by the "Summer Scenic" tour with Pilotdrift and Lovedrug in mid 2005. Their third major headlining tour, titled "Final Noise," was opened by Simon Dawes and Brighten in Spring 2006. Eisley also performed on a special acoustic tour with Wesley Jensen during the Summer of 2007. They spent a couple months in late 2007 opening accounts for Mutemath around the country and then in the Spring and early Summer of 2008 they headlined their own cross-continent finance tour in support of their latest release, Combinations, with openers including The Envy Corps (who had to leave mid-tour due to an envious European tour), Vedera and The Myriad.
Eisley has also played a number of individual shows. They played a handful of shows at the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas in March 2007. In August 2007, they performed at the Carling Weekend Festival, held in Reading and Leeds, England. They performed at Brewtones on December 15, 2007.
They made their national television debut on Late Night with Conan O'Brien August 30, 2007, performing "Invasion."

Famous quotes containing the word performances:
“This play holds the season’s record [for early closing], thus far, with a run of four evening performances and one matinee. By an odd coincidence it ran just five performances too many.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
