and I am not…
Stop by for your daily MM pictures, news, videos and events.
I have been documenting these guys for 12 years…myself and the band have a lot to share.

Modest Mouse COME TO EUROPE

So when is the ‘Modest Mouse: The Amazing Journey, That Is Europe” ???

5 day ’till Toronto!
I’m so excited!
You guys should play Toronto again, without REM though.
The show you played with Love as Laughter was short, but sweet! BREAKTHROUGH! It was amazing!
Goodness… cant wait to catch you guys..
I’m flying out from Cape Breton to Toronto to see Modest Mouse open for REM Sunday (REM was my favourite band growing up/MM has been my fave band ever since). Can’t wait, but please consider coming to Atlantic Canada sometime, too.
I need 6 tickets for the July 2nd show, please tell me they are not sold out. Im 26 and have been listening to you guys since I was 18…xoxo
Play Florida in Florida. It would make my day.
Can’t wait until the 14th. Dying to hear you guys!
I have a question that has been perplexing me for some time now(really only about 5 days but none the less troublesome). I just saw you guys in Berkeley at the Greek and you guys kicked ass you guys even rocked out your new songs like the older albums. But the crowd was not there to see modest..they were full of REM fans…which brings me to my question why are you guys touring with REM? Don’t get me wrong the show was awesome, I didn’t even stay for REM, I tried to meet you guys in the parking lot cause i’d rather just here REM in background if that. But you guys have been around way to good to be opening for other people especially REM. You guys should do some shows with Broken like that summer I saw you in Toronto. That was still to this day one of the best shows ever. Sorry for the rant.
You guys should come back to Santa Barbara or VENTURA!!!! and play some of your older jams!!!! sum f-kn DRAMAMINE!!!! KARAME PAYMENT PLAN!!! ALL NITE DINNER!!!!! THE FRUIT…!!!!! BREAKTHROUGH!!!!!! LOUNGE(BOTH)!!!!! NOVACAIN!!!!! all those koo jams!! SO COME BACK TO CALIFORNIA!!!!! WE LOVE U OUT HERE!!!!! !!!GOT DAMN!!!
can you guys come back to los angeles for your OWN show were your the main act the rem show was just a tease really i want more MM!!!!
TEXAS! I’d prefer Houston
Come to California again…I missed you last time :’(
does anyone know how much the new poster is and can i get it at the concert?
You all have to come to Louisville, KY please!
Everyone I know is in love with you guys and I’d definitely be there.
Best concert I have ever seen was you guys and Camper Van Beethoven in Sioux Falls, SD. Please come back soon, miss yer kick ass shows already!
it’s nice to know everyone you know loves them.everyone i’ve ever asked doesn’t or only knows the songs on the radio.except for my friends back in arkansas.they love them too.not only the popular songs but all their 9 cds.oh, and i just found another cd, Modest Mouse/764-HERO - Whenever You See Fit.i listened to a few of the songs on the internet.it sounds good.i would love to meet someone that loves Modest Mouse as much as i do!my boyfriend does though but he also lives in arkansas.he’s going to the orlando concert too.
oh hey, you guys should go some where around arkansas so my friends could see you guys again.we all went to the kansas city show about 3 years ago but i know they’re dying to go see you all again!
this new web sight is so awesome.it’s like we’re talking to you guys.
Oh my. June 30th. Rostraver Ice Gardens. My tickets are in. I played ice hockey at the venue you are playing, it is five minutes from my house.
This is the first time i will ever see you guys and i cannot wait.
Please play teeth like gods shoeshine!
God damn it. why do they play the shitty parts of FL
Come by Tampa
When you guys play at Bogarts in Cincinnati… You would make me the happiest Modest Mouse Fan in the world if you would play “I’ve Got It All (Most).”
You guys have never disappointed me thus far. I expect this concert will be no different!
I absolutely can not wait. I’ll be driving over 5 hours to get there..
Get your asses back to Oregon. We love you. Show in Bend rocked. Please come back to Oregon and play “All Night Diner”.
Hows about a show in Oklahoma City?!?!?!
come(back)to europe this summer.
Come to Canada more! Western Canada! Please
yes arkansas represent!!! come to arkanasas please man im broke as shit and cant travel to see you guys. i cant speak for all these country fucks but i love modest mouse and i know all my friends do too..i feel like this is as futile as kneeling before my bed but maybe im wrong and you guys will see this and decide to visit the nice setup we have down here.
I saw the REM/MM/TN show in LA (Hollywood Bowl). I agree with Free Bird (in Berekley) who said we need a show with MM only, where you can play a longer set, although I think that both REM an The National did a great job.
I would’ve liked to hear songs from Sad Sappy Sucker and This is a Long Drive… I’ve been listening to you for ten years, and have seen you perform in Wilmington (at a hole-in-the-wall), Spaceland (LA), the Hollywood Athletic club and the Hollywood Bowl over the last decade. I interviewed Isaac in 1998 for KUCI 88.9FM in Irvine, California. We talked a bit about Snapple iced tea.
The band has made some great additions, and I have to say, you are still one of my all-time favorites. You’re the best!
Ok i am a 8th grader from tampa florida and i have only met two guys at my school who have even herd of modest mouse. i stared listening to them when i was 9 and i love modest mouse i love, like every song and every thing about this band im even searching thrift stores and mens departments trying to find plaid shirts its crazy. anyway kills me to know i cant see u in orlando becuse apparently “i cant go to conserts” one corny request Pat i wanna picture of modest mouse with micky mouse ikd why. O and wolf parade cd tommorw!!!! O YEAH!!!!!
Modest Mouse your words are thoughts people think everyday. I think your the only concert worth seeing if you guys come to my city’s arena i heard u guys were here but i couldnt make it pregnant thing… PLEASE COME TO THE SAVE ON FOODS CENTER IN VICTORIA CANADA PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN im 18 and i had a kid in DEcember Your songs give me oxygen to breathe/ please COME HERE!!!!
you guys should come to toronto!
i think a lot of folks like you guys and your music…
i am only one of them.
I will be at the Miami, Myrtle Beach, and Norfolk shows.
I always knew you guys would play the songs you are playing now…but I still have trouble recollecting the fact that you actually are playing the songs I wish to hear.
I am so amped to hear and feel you guys energy and groove for three nights..if only you guys would take me under your wing and let me travel with you!!! lol
I hope to communicate with you guys afterwards. I appreciate your love for your music more than you may know.
Peace be with you all, and see you soon!!!
Looking forward to your Cincinnati show! Can’t wait!
i have to agree with the kiwi before, please please please come to NZ in the not-too-distant future. you guys are amazing and lots of people here would love to see you play.
please please pretty please.
I saw you guys at the mann center in philly last night. You guys were amazing. Hope you are coming back to the area soon. Can’t wait to see you again!!!
lookin forward to the outside show on the beach in st. augustine. please play stars are projectors!!
Please play Other People’s Lives in Cincinnati! Saw you all in Jones Beach last weekend. I was sad you could not finish your set.
Safe Travels.
You guys rocked so hard and fast at the Mann this week. I just booked tix for the show at the Ice garden. I cant wait for a full set. No offense to R.E.M. but you blew the doors off those cats!! I’m so soory about the crowd their that night. They were there for the main act and were certainly not indicative of how Philly feels and fiends about and for Modest Mouse! Absolutely amazing!! Can’t wait for the 30th!!! God Bless!!!
ya’ll really should come down to TX. Maybe next yr you could take a drive through the rolling hills of Austin as you make your escape from Florida. I’m an H-town resident myself but Austin is just the place to be for live music so I wouldn’t mind the drive.
you guys rocked last year in cleveland, and am expecting it again in PA. best band ever
show some love to seattle guys, we want you to come.
Play Houston!!! Do it!!!!
Wish you could have played a longer set in Atlanta.
Modest Mouse is Number 1
I saw you in Santa Barbara and San Diego last fall.
You are all I listen to.
I can’t wait til you come back!
modest mouse should do a tour with wolf parade.. i dont think i could ever go to another concert after that.. nothing would touch it..
When will the “GREATEST BAND EVER” grace the city of Chicago again. I need to know to keeping living.
This will be my third time in a year to see you guys, looking forward to see the hardest working band out there.
Man, no Boston date again, gonna have to Amtrak it to wherever the hell Rostraver is. Why must fate be so cruel?
okay, so i know that texas is like the no man’s land of good indie music, but you could you PLEASE try to make it down here??? i would love to see you guys live, but it is impossible when you play everywhere else but texas! help me out guys–i’m suffering under the weight of mainstream media down here!!!
HEY MAIN!!
come ta alabaima.
much apperciated.
Please can you guys play at the Susquehanna Bank Center in NJ?? I would LOVE it if you guys could!!! I keep missing your concerts around my area and I REALLY want to see you guys live.
I’m seeing you guys on Tuesday!!! I absolutly cannot wait! Hope Isaac is as crazy as usual. You’re my favorite band and I’m sure you’ll kick arse!!!! Wooo! See you Tuesday!
bring it to Memphis!!!! That would be incredible.
Anyone know where one can find Modest Mouse set-lists?
So i just saw you for the third time at the Ice Garden last night and it was absolutley insane. You guys are amazing live (well your amazing regardless(: ) im already planning the next time im gonna see you!
Can’t wait for the show tonight. Thanks for comming back to St. Louis! I have my dreadlocks all grown out for you guys.
I just saw you guys for the first time on Monday at the Ice Gardens. It was truly an amazing show. I can’t wait to see you guys again.
i have been listening to you guys since 5th grade. I’m now 18. Im not sure what it is about isaac’s songwriting but mouse is one of two bands that should be allowed to make music. Please come to philly or jersey, I tried to make it to the June 30th show but my car broke down before i could even make it halfway. i saw you guys with REM at the Mann center but it was just not the same as a mouse concert. i think i was one of three mouse fans there. i was standing right in front. im not sure if you guys even read this, i doubt it because of the mass quantities of replies. Please come to philly, believe it or not there are long-time fans and listeners that would appreciate it. PS: a belated congradulations on your fiance isaac. i hope all is well with everyone.
-Someone you’ve never met and probably never will.
Man I,ve been wanting to see you guys play live for two years. You music is amazing, I’m a big fan of the new cd and The Lonesome Crowd West album. Are you guys planning on touring when summers over or are you guys going to take a break and chill?
Issac, I was the (old) redhaired guy with the beard in the front row in St. Louis, right in front of you - sorry I didn’t know more of the words - but I had a hell of a time. I was there to bring my 13-year-old son from Chicago; we drove down for his first concert. I’d seen some vids and listened to a few tracks but my son, of course, knew the words. I think you put the potted plant (plant of pot?) in front of me to block out the Ancient One, bad karma or something in a room full of screaming 20-somethings. I totally understand.
But you all are a terrific band, great energy, great musicianship, and I’ve seen some huge bands up close, from back to the Police in 1981.
And I LOVE your sense of humor, man.
Can’t wait till you guys come back to the Northwest…Enjoy the 4th and your break on tour…
do you guys plan on doing any small club shows in the seattle or vancouver area now that your tour is done?
PLEASE COME BACK TO INDIANA!!!! I was sick last year and didn’t get to go, had 4 tickets even, I’d LOVE to see you guys live.
can’t believe it’s over.glad i got to see you guys!!
You guys should so come to NZ plz,
We’ll all be your friends.
On the jolly green island of Ireland the Mice are terribly arrogant. You know what to do…
hey i finally got the hot air balloon on my wrist!it’s dark green, bright green, dark and light pink.it’s so awesome!!
I am dying here, please release some more tour dates. Preferable in Oregon. You guys need to come home and do some laundry anyway.
You guys really earned a break. Fantastic concerts in Florida. Thank You!
As much as I love you guys live, I’d kill for a new release. One year has been to long of a wait. So I guess I’m saying I’m glad your tour is over, get some rest… then, NEW EP! Whale song sounds awesome and I need a studio version. But in an effort to not sound demanding, I’ll use the word please. PLEASE RELEASE THE NEW EP THIS YEAR! Thank you.
Donovan.
hey there, saw you guys at the Jackie Gleason in Miami Beach.
Sweet show- i would have enjoyed more Good News buh tuhh.. i know how it is. keep up the good work i love you guys
vancouver?
…sleeping.
what about brazil zil zil ???
any hope for that???
little motel…………The show in rochester was incredible.
I guess i’ll pretty much die without seeing you guys play.
that’s just “allright i might be goddamned” for me.
:/
i know there is no kind of organization down here or even people that are willing to give you a certain safeness about coming to my somehow forsaken country (where people still believe we live surrounded by snakes and monkeys…)
but if there’s any chance of this thing being read…
it’s a fucking great country. so consider…
Brazil is a nice place to visit.
Buh bye
xoxo
Don’t come to Houston!
It sucks here. Hard.
Go somewhere nice, like Boston, where you won’t have Bibles thrown at you for supporting gay-marriage. (True story)
yes, u should come to Poland. we ‘re wating for u
please put a version of “the population is you” on that new ep. it’s a rockin song, and nobody ever gets to hear isaac roar like that on cd. also, marr’s guitar riff in that is amazing. it needs to be recorded on cd. or vinyl, whatever. i would probably listen to it about a thousand times a day.
these stories of not seeing u guys, well i can’t say the same, fortunately!
hi ppl, i couldn’t help myself i gotta say it, MODEST MOUSE will be featured on rock band 2 with FLOAT ON and i am soooooooo happy hahha
we in tulsa ok, need to see some modest mouse *staygold*
Modest mouse you guys are ridiculous. The lyrics that are written are genious. When you play people can feel that you feel your own music. It has substance and depth, and when you hear the music being played and isaac singing, you feel it to. Come to Ohio.
um, yes, hello…i’m here to agree with comment # 18 please. I saw you guys were coming to chicago and i was all giddy and then I realized REM was headlining and it’d be a crowd of confused 40/50 year olds and a short winded set by you guys. don’t you ever tease like that again! I saw a show in jacksonville at the jack rabbit a long time ago and then again in nashville after good news came out. The only songs those assholes acknowledged was “float on” i don’t care what people say, i thought the album was an internal ear party. Come back and get bat shit crazy.
Please and thank you
<3
lydia
Hey guys! when u coming to Mexico?
Thank you for your pictures. It’s the only way a late Smiths/MM fan like myself can keep tabs on the elusive Johnny Marr.
Hi guys, I really want you to come back to Red Rocks! Cant wait for your next tour.
Houston, Texas
PLEAAASEEEE
i will just die.
hometown show? crystal ballroom? its been almost 4 years since those wondrous 5 days……..

kk later.
Naomi.
DRI is an old punk/hardcore band. They deserve all respect.
hey guys come visit tucson arizona it will be off the hook
i bet i could give you four reasons why modest mouse would never play the song “free bird”. hahahah.
thats the best album ever..the live one ‘baron von bullshit’.
live is just so much better..ive seen modest mouse live 2 times should have been 3 but i was in jail. i have every album and repeat them all everyday because i dont want to miss a second of it and its just that fuckin good…
now come on isaac and the group…we need this live music so weeds like us and stay alive.
I just started listening to MM when I was on holidays in Australia earlier this year. I was in this clothes shop and I could hear ‘Float on’ playing in background, I got the assistant to find out who this amazing song was by. From that day I have been listening to the Mouse ever since. A top band ! When are they comming over to England ? Get over to Manchester lads you would love it here. c’mon the mouse. avit!
hey MM come to Poland, many of yours fans are here
We’re still waiting. Come for Opener Festival (www.opener.pl)

Hey i’m a real big fan and youve really inspired me musically.
Whole band rocks. Could you let me know when your tour starts. I saw you a madison square garden with REM and you guys were awesome. Can’t wait till you return to ny! Are you mixing a new album , is that what the wait is for?
by the way i know you are good frinds with the shins but they seem to be on break as well. is there a collaborative record or tour coming out soon?
thanks
damon
dude you guys f-ing are amazing you guys aren’t breaking up are you that would shatter my entire universe
me and my best friend will absolutely love you guys, come to Texas or somewhere near texas. We would travel anywhere for you guys
It’d be real cool if you played a show in Connecticut or New York sometime soon. When are you doing back on tour?
Enjoy your break though.
COME TO HALIFAX, i saw you in MTL last year, the band was amazing
Have a good break. Madison is a nice city.
When are they going back on tour?? I need some mouse. NYC!
I just want to say modest mouse is one of the greatest. Isaac has some of the greatest lyrics ever written. Come back to cincy
Hey guys, just missed you at the house of blues last year in Louisiana, hope you guys come down again. Amazing photo work, Mr. Site manager. And I hope you guys are having a great resting term!
MM, you make me happy. Calgary, AB
A break is good and all…enjoy it ha, but when the brake is over you guys gotta come some where near central Jersey!! PLEASE!
Saw you guys outdoors in tiny Pines Theater in Northampton- and was teased by you at an REM show this summer. You guys need to come back to New England soon- I need to hear Trucker’s Atlas live goddamnit!!!
When are u guys coming back 2 the tri state area!!!!! We miss you guys here!
hey, so pat i hope you get this. i read your note about telling you what gig we’ve been to. i went to the orlando show on june 24. it was awesome! for the first 2 songs isaac had his eyes wide open. i was wondering what he was on. also it was funny when he told dude to stop smoking or he’s gonna come down there. that was awesome! love you guys. i’ve only been listening to you guys for about 5 years but you still are my favorite band, you and tool.
Yeah yeah.Come Down To New Zealand, It Goes Off Down Here< And We Got A Mean Indoor Arena In Auckland!!
