Modest Mouse tour, April 1997. We were in Montana, stuck in a blizzard. finally got some chains put on
after a crash. <p>The snow covered the road then a few miles later we had to take them off, due to sparks, and no snow on the road.
More later-

this is such a great photo, i love the symmetry :]
i don’t get why you put chains on though lol, they’re not going to help if there isn’t snow on the road.
Wow, this pic would fit right in with the artwork used for LCW.

Wow, 11 years ago. What a cozy tour bus.
Man, you guys should go back to the van
I love seeing the old pictures, along with the new.
Ah, man. The color palette in this photo is just great. It contributes so much to the tone of the pics. I totally feel the desolation of Montana.

I agree so much, this picture basically makes me want to scream
“FROM THE TOP OF THE OCEAN, YEAH, TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SKY, GODDAMN”
etc etc. Everyone here should know the words anyway.
On the arctic blast
it’s easy to save what the cannery pays, cause there ain’t no way to spend it
Or a long drive with something to think about: get some gloves. That must have been miserable.
