Modest Mouse Band • Page 14

the stars are projectors yeah projecting our lives down to this planet earth

 

Thought about writing a 20th anniversary piece but I think I might wait it out for The Moon and Antarctica

 

Both times I've seen MM have been incredible. Need them to come back in soon.

 

Certain bands are great filters for finding friends. If you like modest mouse we will most definitely get along.

 

I judge an individual's character based on the music they listen to

 

Modest Mouse just announced first headlining show in Cleveland for the first time in 11 years. SO PUMPED

 

They're doing two nights in Detroit which is unusual. Definitely going to at least one

 

I've never seen Modest Mouse headline, only time I saw them was the tour with B**** N** and it was nearly impossible to get tickets. Is it generally as hard to get tickets to a normal headlining Modest Mouse show? This venue is only about 1,800 capacity.

 

The one time I saw them headline here it was relatively easy to get tickets. They didn't sell out right away, but they did end up selling out later on.

 

If it's at an 1800 cap venue, I'd go ahead and grab tickets.

 

Oh yeah, I'm definitely trying as soon as pre-sale starts tomorrow at 10. Already blocked off my work schedule, ha.

 

If you buy them when they go onsale, I don't think you'll have any issues getting tickets.

 

This reminds me I listened to Building Nothing Out of Something last week, and it’s still awesome .

 

Imagine if Modest Mouse delivered that follow up album and it happened to be their best one? How crazy would that be? Would never happen but it'd be cool

 

Hell yea playing St. Augustine.

 

never say never!

 

used to be a huge fan of this band and seen them at least 5 times, but their live shows are kinda boring. I lost interest in them around 2012. newest album has not good. had 3 great songs rest was meh

 

Like three Christmases ago my mom ordered me a copy of the "White Lies, Yellow Teeth" 7" and proceeded to lose it somewhere in the process of wrapping gifts. I completely forgot about it but she called me last week saying she found it in the back of a drawer somewhere (probably because I always peek on Christmas gifts) and I picked it up this weekend. So cool, I'm a huge fan of This is a Long Drive and had never heard these songs before.

Anyways, need that new album, like, two years ago

 

I don't trust anyone who thinks any of their albums are "not good." Inconsistent, sure, different, certainly, but all solid with standouts at the VERY least

 

I'm seriously so excited for the tour coming up. It's been 8 years since I've seen them on a proper headliner. They've been incredible live both times I've seen them, and I love how much they change their sets up.

Moon & Antarctica is still an all-time album for me

 

They've always been fantastic live the 5 or so times I've seen them.

 

Well, that was easy. Ticket purchased!

 

You right, but if they top lonesome crowded West this late in their career, that'd be incredible

 

I won't say "never" but it's pretty unlikely that any band is gonna top the early MM records.

 

Nobody asked for another podcast where two white-guys talk about indie-rock, but if you enjoy my reviews or writing or track-by-track analyses, feel free to follow us on Twitter. First episode should drop sometime next week. (I promise, we have many more diverse guests and records slated.)
