One of my favorite bands. Just something about the music itself and Isaac's voice and the lyrics that really speak to me. Cant wait for the new album, whenever that arrives.

For the more knowledgable fans of the band, I have heard mention of major in-studio fighting between band members, not currently, but in the past. Anyone know about this?

    yeah i've heard they're huge a-holes. they've walked off stage before due to bad "crowds."
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    Isaac Brock used to be wasted all the time so maybe that has somethin to do with it.

    I really liked the last album and Good News..... and Moon and Antarctica have some stuff I dig, but are more hit and miss, imo.

    Lookin forward to some new stuff. They have an ep comin out in August.

    Saw MM last year opening for REM in Mansfield and they put on a very good show. My husband was not a MM before this show and I tried to convince him that they were pretty good to no avail. Once he saw them live he changed his mind :)

    Although I have heard the stories of MM shows that sucked because Isaac didn't care for the crowd. Fortunately at the show we went to there was a big boobed blonde jumping up in down in the first row throughout their set that I think kept him pretty happy, hence the good show :D

    Something is not good...

    https://lacrossetribune.com/news/local/modest-mouse-cancels-la-crosse-show-at-last-minute/article_bdb78fff-fbe3-57e0-88d9-09e6a6b423ee.html

    The tour was set to start last night.  Here's the thing.  I get cancellations.  I wouldn't be mad.  Life happens, but apparently they had a show in August they failed to show up for at all.   

    If you can't make a tour, cancel it.  Thinking that since no one is saying anything, this is beyond illness of a standard variety.  

    The band is saying nothing, just canceling at the last minute or close to it.  

    I have tickets for the show on the 29th.  So glad that this is a hometown show.  

    Hoping that everyone in the MM family is well, but thinking that not all is well.  Cancel, take care and return another day.  Just don't string fans along.

    No cancellation yet for tonight's show.  I would think that if tonight is canceled, some information will come out from somewhere.
