dude u guys are the shit! when you coming to Sacramento, i hella wanna see you guys live and i like the playlist a couple pics back as The Fucking View Bitch last lol
“Yes everyone, this is indeed Johnny Marr, but this ISN’T New york City behind me. That is actually a curtain, we’re actually somewhere in Barbados right now.”
You guys will never believe this! I talked to my uncle last night on the phone whos in Hawaii at Waikki beach and he said that the weirdest guy he saw was this dude wearing really short shorts with a giant anchor tattooed on his back!
I never thought I’d see you guys play without including “Doin’ the Cockroach” but this was so great it wasn’t even missed. “Spitting Venom” was awesome.
Does anyone know the words for the extended parts of “tiny cities” “trailer trash” and “spitting venom” (besides the part from I came as a rat).
The new songs were pulled off surprisingly well, especially Fly trapped in a jar, fire it up, invisible, and Spitting venom.
What was the fourth or fifth song… I couldn’t name it from any album…
Right before this show started I asked my boyfriend if he thought that anyone in the band thought it was cool to be playing in the Ryman because of its history…..he said no and I was like whatever……at least one of them has to.
Those are vivid pictures. Thank you for your art. The one of Osaka at night has a high degree of composition. I don’t know it that was intentional or not but I suppose that is what grace is!
Hey i was at this show on the 15th! it was so freaking amazing it was my first concert and you should post more up cause i was on the second row and i want to re-live this concert. please upload more!
I met someone last Sunday who wanted to trim a branch because it could have gotten in the way of kids running and it had thorns on it, but he wanted to talk about it with his brother first because his brother had the responsibility of keeping the garden. He was holding the branch like this!
Like I said in the previous blog, they had them on in the SLC, and didn’t have them on for very long.
I do like the look, at least for a little while. I love to see Isaac’s expressions.
ha…hanz and franz…nice shades by the way. those are the kind that seem to be a target for slaps or punches. i had to get the plastic kind that were made in the 80s…their break proof…spose to last a life time…so far there still intact.
Pat Graham….I too am a photographer and just wanted to let you know I check the MM site often just to see and be inspired by your creativity. Plus, I’m a huge, way back, MM fan so I get a double dose of the good stuff…. This is the first time I have ever left a comment though… hope this message does end up hitting your radar!
Isaac and the boys……….P.S. I work and live in Portland and got a hell of a Birthday gift this year back in March when I was “gifted” a ticket to one of your shows that completely kicked ass. One of the best birthday gifts I have ever received…. Thanks for a bad-ass show!
Pat, you should put the photograph of Isaac sleeping on the floor in a hotel room from back in the day on here. I think that is my favorite photo from the old days. I would buy it if I could find it. Especially silver gelatin prints.
I was listening to “Everywhere and his nasty parlour tricks” tonight, and i was just wondering if isaac would sing a little bit on the new EP. I like the new stuff equally well with the old, and defend you guys left and right, but I love your more mellow side too. Not the missed the boat mellow, but the melancholic mellow of “night on the sun” or “willful suspension.” just saying.
it depends on the venue…check the send us stuff link.
i am looking for anything to do with mm or your town where the band is playing…
Thanks!!
Pat
ps it could be a photo,drawing, art, thoughts, stories,…etc
I’ve been hearing about the lyric “The population is you” is that from a new song on the hopefully upcoming EP or just some added lyric to the song? Please jump in the crowd in WI it’d be sweet:)
Thank you so much for actually posting the set! You should keep doing that! It always keeps me interested. I know you could do something clever with it.
I saw the title and was hoping this would be a picture inside an actual Hot Topic. Although now that I think more closely about that I’m kinda relieved it isn’t.
Hey look there I am!!! Oh do I ever remember This. Yeah I didnt take a picture. Recorded a video instead. This was simply amazing. I will send it to you later Adam, I gotta get to work right now.
It says that you are not accepting video uploads currently. so i am going to post it on youtube and send the link i guess. I have a few videos i am going to post. Tiny Cities Made of Ashes, Float On, The video i am recording in the picture, and a little video of The View(its just some snazzy guitar).
!!!!!!!! DId they play this Pat? The lighting in that is so elegant. Soundcheck? Fog or everyones smoke? Well, it us up with a set list! Keep workin hard.
Some decent advice on quitting smoking (like Isaac will really read this): Find a small replacement that offers some small stimulation in place of smoking. Caramel candy drops worked for me. If your strong enough to write incredible music, you’re strong enough to quit. Good luck!
I used to live in Iowa. I bet you all put on a great show there. Im driving up to Wisconsin tomorrow for the Madison and Milwaukee shows. Then back home to Indianapolis. See you there. Anticipation….
Thats funny. Man Man was great and I can’t wait to see them again. Whew I’m still tired from this weekend. But thanks again Pat I really appreciate it.
I’m glad you guys take pictures of the shows. I can actually see the two giants I was standing behind and my two friends peeking out around their big Paul Bunyan heads.
But giants aside, it was a fantastic show. I hope you guys come back soon. I’ll be there every time.
This was the first time I got to see you guys live, and it was the most amazing adventure to your show and well worth it! I hope to see you guys again if you come back through the KS, OK, area again.
Hey Guys,
You played Albuquerque last night and I just wanted to say you guys are awesome, I’m going to see you in Tucson for my Birthday can you please play Baby Blue Sedan.
Jessica
I really wanted to go to this show but things didn’t work out. I live 2 1/2 hours from Norman but due to work and lack of funds, I couldn’t make it I hear it was a great show. Hope to catch you guys next year.
You guys are so cool. Great show, great energy. Don’t book that venue again, though. The acoustics were horrible. Still, it was so nice to see a great band right down the street from me and not have to drive to Dallas to do it!
I love modest mouse more than anyone else that was at the Des Moines show. Maybe more than anyone you know. I know this comment is entirely unrelated to the photo but I’m posting it nonetheless because I didn’t want to scroll to others. I think you guys sounded great live, and I am glad I finally got to see Isaac scream into his guitar pickups. I was supposed to see you in Omaha during summer 2002 but my friend broke my femur in half in a car crash 5 days before that show. Keep playing music. I wish I could have drank Sam Adams with you at Val Bowl.
I am extremely curious…please let me know. When is Eric’s birthday? Mine was the 16th of November and I share it with many people, but none so talented as Eric if that is the case. I have searched and searched online and cannot tell when he was born? Pat? Someone??? can you give me a clue?????
Oh my Good God! Is that really the shed? This is the most meaningful photo Ive seen on here. Wow. Im flabbergasted. See you all tomorrow. Pat, should I bring my Nikon? Would it be possible to get passes? I didnt get them with Tanner and Martin at the Wisconsin and Indy shows.
Ha ha ha ha ha! Great show in Chicago you all. Thank you so much for the times this year. 6 great shows! Take a break the next few months and hit the road again like you have been. Ill be looking for Teeth Like Gods Shoeshine, Beach Side Property, and Truckers Atlas. Peace.
Great pic! Is it from the Download Fest in Mass? I was sitting next to Nick’s parents/grandparents, evidently…. or at least that’s who I was told they were.
we had to get rid of them after the children started asking about putting plastic bags on peoples heads…”mommy i thought we werent aloud to put bags on our head?”
Two things Pat, I love Silent Pictures and ask Sir Isaac (the musician not the British revolutionary) if Brian Wick guitars are worth it that’d be great.
i realise this is a dipshitty question, but what kind of lighting was going on there? Was it just the houselights, or did you use the flashbulb bit on the camera?
oh Sir! this photo looks amazing!
He looks like standing on the layer of ship on the rough sea, so unreal. it causes a pain of eyes.
i’m sure that this mister doesnt see this people around heh.
well, one more time – great! and sorry for my fatal english, i did my best.
Krang
Pat- you take awe-some pictures. Glad to see after a hiatus of being on tour with MM that you guys can reunite years later and have an awesome time all over again. Speaking of deserts, will we ever hear Tundra/Desert at a show again?
madison… first of three great shows in a row. from where i’m standing (white t-shirt on balcony) you could see everything. that view was extraordinary.as was hearing ‘talking shit’… thanks
are we looking straight up a mountain in the back ground? was this a poster… and perhaps someone happened to walk up and draw on joe’s face? those were my first thoughts at least.
I will never forget this night of my life! Thank you so much you all. I hope to see you at that venue again someday. Cant wait to see tour dates back up.
For anyone saying Free Bird isn’t the LEAST likely song the would play doesn’t know Modest Mouse that well. haha. Isaac freaked when someone yelled Freebird during a Baron Von Bullshit recording.
I am so glad you posted this picture, You have no idea how intense and amazing that night was for me, I knew our picture would get put up, we deserved it. I am the confused girl in the teal tank top haha.
I am also the person who hurled on the people below me…lol. You guys did a phenomonal job, Talking Shit was incredible, I had not been that happy or felt like I was in the right place for along time, The energy that night was beyond my imagination and you all deserve an extra round of applause. Thank you so much for three spectacular nights of great performances. I can not wait to see you guys soon!
I hope you got those previous comments I had left on here before the site change.
I was just thanking you for the beautiful show at the Gorge.
It was my first time seeing you guys live and I have been in love with you for years and it was more than I could ask for.
Beautiful.
Congratulations Isaac and Naheed!
We are looking forward to seeing you in Boston, Rochester and Cincinnati. I love it that you are continuing your WWD tour this year.
I love corny jokes. Here’s one: “Why does the cat dislike the tree?” Because of it’s bark. That one had me rolling on the floor in stitches. Seriously.
this is my second Modest Mouse concert. my insides are going to explode, i’m so f-ing excited!!! you guys are the only thing i listen to! i’m getting a tat of you guys on my arm.
hahahahahaha…looking forwards to the day you come to cleveland again. waiting patienety for a date, maybe, maybe not. pat, i bought your book, it’s awsome.
Me and my friends saw modest mouse at the hollywood bowl on thrusday and i loved the fact we were the only ones in our section going mad over them and when they pulled out Truckers Atlas we lost our minds all the old people who where there to see REM said “wow, you girls must love these guys.”
This shot is amazing. What a great show.
You might remember me – I was the photog who shouted your name before MM tore into their set. Keep up the great work!
SOB i not alowwed to go to conserts i’m too young my mom says (crys) and the one time you come to florida i hope i dont murder my self on june 24th now. O and come to tampa next time!
My friend and I lifeguard in Manasquan, New Jersey and one day we sat on the stand and listened to modest mouse from the start of the day to the end just interpreting everything song and what we thought was being explained. Not much better then sitting on the beach on a beautiful day listening to modest mouse.
I saw Modest MOuse at the hollywood bowl also and they were fantastic….i went psycho when they played “CockRoach” but I just felt that the REM crowd didn’t really match with the Modest Mouse crowd who was so scattered. I felt like i was the only person in my section who was singing and dancing…and everyone else was like what the fuck is she doing? This was the third time I’ve seen Modest Mouse and I think you guys were ur best in Las VEgas at the Joint. Smaller venues with your real fans are way better…then old farty ReM fans who dont even know who u are.
Uhm…People…they aren’t looking for stories posted here. Regardless, those stories were poorly done, with practically no context and hardly a climax. Nice…
I’m sending in a few pictures I’ve doctored up, and probably a story of when I was at the Nashville show last year, and why I never went to Deer Park in Vanny.
hey hey hey dont rain on my parade good sir murph simple mistake but if you like you know if its ok with you i can send it to the e-mail address now excuse me faust arp just came up on my itunes
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 love that video, “Two on the vine, so divine” , look forward to seeing yall in Orlando. oh ps if u like that video watch the JFK video….quite possibly just as funny
The Denver Post reviewed the concert and said that R.E.M. seemed a bit “thin” and “lifeless” but it quickly put the blame on the venue, saying that Red Rocks is made out to be a “mythical place”, but even this great venue has it’s bad days.
Red Rocks seemed to be treating Modest Mouse pretty well, though, because the set was absolutely perfect- albeit short.
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!!!
I was at the Hollywood Bowl On the 30 th, AND me sister and I are huge fans, Even though no one else there seemed to care, I wish you guys could have played more, Because your lack of coming to MONTANA every year, where I have seen you in Bozeman and Billings- I was just bummed I guess. COME TO MONTANA< you guys know you get lots of love here!
“This is just writing”, and so are your lyrics and my words, but your words have changed my perception of life, creation, and beliefs. I appreciate every song I have ever heard from you guys, and I am soooo stoked to see you soon. You are playing the songs I always knew you would, Thank you and thank you for dedicating a lot of your life to your music, because if it were not for your music and words, I may not be as happy as I am, and I could be unaware of the Universe. Thanks so much, and thank you Pat for doing exactly what I wish I could do, traveling and photographing Modest Mouse!!
You will always be a highlight and tune in my mind.
I’m surprised only two people got hurt that night. One girl who slipped and got unconscious, I hope she’s ok. And Isaac who WOULDN’T stop falling, I’m sure he’s fine.
I wish you guys would come back to the House of Blues in LA. I’m sure it was small but we loved you. We throw shows down here if you ever feel the urge to travel south. We have a twilight bash in Halloween, and I KNOW FOR A FACT! Everyone would love you. Oh wells. Thanks much for changing our lives here.
Really, best 45 minutes of my life. Some guy working for the United Center gave two girls in front of us front row tickets though. God I would have loved that. So me and Matt went to beg the guy for another pair, but we had to watch from the third deck. Sounds shitty huh? Nope, still the best 45 minutes i’ve experienced. Thank you Isaac Brock. And damn, i need to get a hold of King Rat.
I agree with post 6, that was one of the best times I’ve ever had, even though I was in one of the really high boxes. I can’t wait until they return, hopefully for a longer show. It pretty much made my summer (though, technically, I am not out of school yet…).
Hey Guys… Thanks for stickin with us at the show in council bluffs… i have seen you 5 times previous to this show and was extremly happy that you ended up playing through our endless storm braving devotion to you… i know that you did not get to play your entire set but was extatic to see tou play various old favorites of mine such as trucker’s atlas and wild pack or family dogs… as always you aknowledged that the omaha/council bluffs crowd has an undying appriciation to you and all of the music that you have created over the years. i am definately looking forward to the next time you come through our neck of the woods…or should i say cornfield. Keep on rockin!!!!!
I have to say…Hell of a show. I am too super happy that you guys stuck around. I have seen you before and been to countless shows…and this show is topping the list of ultimate favorites. Thanks for playing a great show and keep coming back to the area. We appreciate it. Thanks again….keep on keeping on!
hey please please please come to San Antonio Texas. You guys are huge down hear and we need some love. You guys have no idea how much love for modest mouse this area has for you. im almost too into modest mouse. please come.
I believe Modest Mouse should do another “Side- Ugly Casanova” thing or get back with them and make another mind blowing self changing album. just an opinion. I have seen them live about 6 times now within 4 years, and I love them to death, they remind me of my brother the most who died of a car accident. wierd but it works…
You all rock and that picture is interesting. Each and every one of you is talented in so many ways and deserves all the joy existing. Each of you are an inspiration in your own way. You all have enlightened me to a level of thinking that I can not explain.
and with that said, Thank You
boy oh boy oh boy.. If I wasn’t scared before I am now! I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard in a while (we’ll except me and Leanne’s mishap with the hotel bed in Chicago this weekend~long story)
I was there!! First time I have ever even heard of MM but they were fantastic… better than R.E.M. (who I came to see to begin with)! I even bought their cd during lunch! Great band!
I’ve seen MM several times (around Md.) over the last 4+ years. Kimba and I are gettin’ ready to check them out tonight @ Merriweather. Awesome venue… can’t wait. Their playing with a band whose name means “Rabid Ear Monument” (or something like that). Just foolin’ – REM is cool… unfortunately we can’t stick around for their whole set.
I plan on posting the set list here after the show. Not sure why but I can never find their set lists posted anywhere. Then again perhaps I’m not really looking.
Here’s to drinking away the part of the day that you can not sleep away (greatest freakin’ lyric ever written!!!)
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!
I suggest getting a couple boxes of Nerf Dart Tag. The Nerf guns shoot like 25-30 feet. My only major complaint is there is no back to the vest. Otherwise, I think that might add to your fun.
And you know I was pretending to play baseball just a state away…sept mine was on the porch…and the living room….i found this blue broom stick handle and just when swingin…were you guys wathing me or something?
I LOve you and I’m drunk on wine. I wanted to tell you…that I spend the hot summer nights listening to the lonesome crowded west..in my 1986 dodge ram van..and its brown..it used to be a church van…keep rockin brother…i dont want to be a mother.
soon to meet you again
cheers tarah
please please…keep on making music. your lyrics are the source of a cross word puzzle.
damn I’m glad everyone is okay.. lightning is nothing to mess with but seems you guys just can’t get away from it as of late. nice about ya’ll keeping playing..surprised alot of folks nothing better!
I was right by the strike about 15-30 feet away and let me tell you there was nothing cooler than getting struck by lighting while listening to modest mouse.
that lightning was so crazy! it lit the place up so much that it looked like it was daytime for a few seconds. i was really upset that they couldn’t finish the set.. i wonder what the setlist was gonna be – i’d like to see it so i can cry over what we missed out on.
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.
Wow! That reminds of the time I saw R.E.M. a few years ago and buckets of rain came down, too. Hee- hee. It was raining when all of you were in St. Paul.
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!!!!!
now that i hear this…not as bummed lycretia & i missed the show, sounds super dangerous. sorry to not have met you. hope you have a great show at msg on thursday. safe travels. all the best, angie
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!!!!
And God said….
Modest Mouse will light the world with song and dance
the light will melt your face off
and everyone will keep cheering
all for the lovely
Whale Song
I cant express in words about the Whale Song. It’s a dark lullaby that you can groove to. Its like… Dramamine-Bukowski-and Mechanical Birds, only its mechanical whales all mixed into one.
You guys are geniuses. Cant wait to see you in Rostraver and Cincy.
ist zehr gut! 9 to 10, old to new + new one. talkin’ shit about a pretty sunset? polar opposites? what’s up? i used to skateboard in there. wife loves johnny.
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.
I missed the Whale Song, it was so hot in there I almost passed out. Thank you Ed Frost, Rochester EMS for the water and kind care. May I suggest your roadies get some Big (electric) fans for your EXTRAORDINARY band and adoring fans? Thank you, can’t wait to see you again in Pittsburg (Rostraver) and Cincinnati. I’ll tank up first. Love you photos Pat!
come to the lone star. I’ve been waiting my entire adolescence, and I’ll be damned if another lifetime favorite disappears before I get to see em’ live. in person. do it
i started humming that man man anthem when i saw this pic….la la la la…dodoo do…dodo do…1 2…1 2..or whatever…and at the end the battle ends with a laser gun.
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.
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!!!
you have no idea how excited i was about this show when i got the email this morning. Couldn’t eat or anything. I was all on top of my shit too, on ticketmaster.com at like 11 am, waiting. I had my three reserved and the fucking site told me my credit card info was wrong and then booted me. Last year’s show at the pool was amazing.
it’s really cool of you guys to do this tonight, too bad scalpers scooped up tickets musicheads could’ve gotten.
i only saw one scalper outside the venue, they didn’t affect anything. there was less than 500 tickets available through ticketmaster, what do you expect?
the show was awesome despite so many people complaining all over the internet about it and even at the venue when they couldn’t bum a ticket off of anyone. it did take a lil while for things to start but other than that, thanks for the great time!
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 SUCK no, just kidding, it was cool.it was cool you guys changing songs without stopping and on three different cds.i’ve never seen that but i’ve only been to 7 concerts.if you guys are gonna play out some music you should play number 5 on the purple cd.i love the music.(orlando show)did that feel good beating yourself with your guitar Isaac?isn’t that the ultimate high when you’re playing!?i’m gonna learn how to play the drums and try to get into a garage band.i wanna sing but i can’t and girl bands suck.music is my calling in life!later
When I listen to albums Bill Berry dummed on like “Murmur” and “Chronic Town”, I think of MM because the band rocks out but is aware of the audience and truly technically good at the same time. This picture shows how nice everyone is! Farm hands, ha ha, as Bob Dylan said “Keep your hand on that plow, hold on”…
I have waited years for MM to come back to FLA — and had to miss the orlando show at the last minute for the kid’s Little League game…now I am depressed. They lost 7-2…it rained all night…and I missed my favorite band (but I still have a radio!).
I’m pretty sure that truckers atlas needs to be filmed for historical records. all on you mr. hurley, i can’t fucking keep still, camera gets a-wobblin
This is hilarious, and I’ll never be able to look at this fountain the same way again. Wow, if he ever happens to visit Disney’s Music All Star hotel, I can only imagine him scaling the giant guitars there: http://www.gratur.com.br/disney/img/allstar3.jpg
Although, this looks more like a splendid field day to me. Awesome shots, indeed!
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!!!
If you guys figure anything out on the ‘becoming Pat Graham’ front let me know, not only does he get to hang with an awesome band he’s a great photographer too (me not so much… working on that…).
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.
This story was definitely amusing. My husband and I had made some comment about the diet coke and beer being on stage, but the pb&j was definitely stealth. We already thought you were a ninja for sneaking around the amps, and I guess Eric is now in training with you.
Even though I wanted all three, I ordered at least one of your St. Augustine photos so thanks! All of you are always welcome back to Florida, show or not. They should consider signing up for the Rock the Boat tour, because it just seems it would be their forte.
the beaches are overpopulated with “bargain stores” with all kinds of odds and ends with the beaches name all over them. You utilized this window setup perfectly!
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!
My boyfriend, Jeff and I were in Myrtle Beach for vacation and happened to be driving past HOB when we both saw “MODEST MOUSE – TOMORROW NIGHT!” Jeff and I freaked out. MM is one of the bands on our “list of bands to see before we die.” We called and there were 13 tickets left. Needless to say we got two. And were both extremely pleased. Modest Mouse is SO awesome in concert. Even if I am really short and all the tall assholes pushed me out of my spot in the front, I still had an awesome time.
Anyway, I’m commenting this picture because I found it ironic. Saturday before Jeff and I left town we made a quick stop at this store. We even took a picture of my brother sitting in the blue chair next to Isaac. I love irony.
I would pay 5000$ a ticket to see you play a whole set of lonesome crowded west. Come to Pa more often so i can get out of my damn house and do something awesome
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!
is this the 43rd anniversary of the plummers?.. joe told me and my girlfriend once backstage, last year, that they were married 42 years..and by knowing that….it would be a secret answer to prove that we did indeed meet him. well if it isn’t i’ve just rambled on.
I was there. It was magical. I came within a foot of Joe Plummer. My life is complete. i can die now… though I’d like to wait til the next time they drop by pittsburgh. once just isnt enough.
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?
all five food groups….nice!
do y’all remember when Eric missed part of the tour? ….he was sorely missed, no disrespect to Tom the multi instrumentalist!
i’ll be kicking myself in the ass for years, i’ve missed you guys when you were right underneath my nose. Your probably tearing Bogart’s up as i’m typing this…god damn
(Also, I heard “Satelite skin” and I almost started crying, ’cause it’s fucking brilliant, though it may not be mouse-esque, it’s still a modest mouse song, and a modest mouse song is better than anything else.. Thanks for being who you are, guys. You’re what keeps me alive some times.)
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.
HAHAHA! Jesus thats a ton of firepower! we got firepower here right now but guns are going off down below my apt FUN!
Ya’ll have fun I’m going to duck and cover.
I was there, too, appreciated the fans (electric). No cameras allowed, security made me put mine back in the car, but thats ok. I’m so glad Pat took lots of photos. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band was good. Nice light show. It seems like a long time since I’ve heard “Tiny Cities Made of Ashes”. Any chance of an extended version on the next album?
Thanks for the blog!
haha let me guess, somewhere in ohio before heading up to michigan for rothbury where the good ones are against the law. We did the same thing heading back to Detroit from Cincinnati for the show at Bogarts… which was great by the way!!
Finally some pictures from the live concert. How pat the ninja got that shot without me spotting him ill never know. Come back to pittsburgh real soon. Maybe a venue with better acoustics (though i was close enough to the stage that it wasnt that big of a deal). By the way, the acoustics in my basement are awesome… just a suggestion.
oh yea..that looks pretty swell to me..i’d probably end up lighting my fro on fire or shooting my face off…you actually put that thing in your shirt..your crazy…but well amusing.
And thus, it ends.
Thanks for the tour, thanks for the music.
Can’t wait until you guys do it all again in a couple years, with a new EP and LP under your belt. New songs, good times.
Even though I only got to attend one show, I still followed your tour dates. The band deserves to have a nice long break. Thank you so much for the great shows and setlists. And Pat, Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures. I don’t know what I would do without this blog. You guys rock!
Bless your souls, you triumphant minstrels, you have move oceans and shaken the earth. enjoy your rest and come back to pittsburgh as soon as possible.
Great show at Rothbury! I was raging out in the front row with my mask on! I wish you would post more pictures of Rothbury! I know you got them especially with all those photographers that you guys had there. But anyway, thanks for playing Talking Shit about a Pretty Sunset! I have to say that made my day Its strange how perfect the lyrics to your songs goes with my life. You guys are awesome! Keep up the amazing music and come back to NASHVILLE!
<3
I was right at front row here also, I ordered the print because this was deffinately a show to remember and it’s an excellent shot. I’m going to frame it with my Rothbury ticket and Johnny Marr’s setlist which I caught after the show. I’m curious though, does Johnny write his own guitar line up on his set lists?
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.
I can see myself haha awesome. I wish Pittsburgh would book Modest Mouse a venue with better sound. Ice Garden just doesn’t have the capability. However, amazing show.
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
Hey Frank, can you post the song list for Rothbury? There was one song they played that I’ve never heard before and i have all their albums so I’m kind of curious what song it was. Thanks
yall should make a live show compilation dvd like a couple songs from each stop of a tour w/ alot of random bonus features or something like that i would watch it as soon as i woke up everyday while smokin a bowl oh what a wonderful day that would be
Jon, I may have been the guy you got the picture from. I was wearing a grey shirt at that point. The line up was
– Bury me with it
– Dancehall
– Talkin’ shit about a pretty sunset
– Education
– Dashboard
– Here it comes
– Truckers Atlas
– Tiny Cities Made of Ashes
– Wild Packs of Family Dogs
– Missed The Boat
– Paper Thin Walls
– Trailer trash/ Satellite Skin
– We’ve Got Everything
– The Good Times are Killing Me
– The View
– Spitting Venom
Even though it’s not on the set list I’m pretty sure they played it.
Sisco, the song you are most likely refering to is Satellite skin. I believe they just started playing it fairly recently, there are videos of it all over youtube.
Frank,was your set list torn at wild pack but not torn all the way through…if so then yes it was the one i got a pic of. also i know they played it because i took video of almost there whole set. the only ones i missed out on were dance hall and trailer trash. I got the whole song of Tiny cities and like 15 to 45 seconds of the rest….
Yeah man, it’s to bad I didn’t check the other setlist I caught. The one you took a picture of was the one I gave to my girlfriend, the one I kept was beautiful. Can you send me the video of Tiny Cities per chance? Because that would be awesome. I can send you a picture of the other setlist if you’d like.
you know the t-shirt with the finger nails reminds me of the thought i had the other day…about the first human and how they probably looked like the monsters with their long fanger nails and hairy faces.
Those are probably MM’s and REM’s buses. The red trucks on the right look like ones I saw at MSG in NYC. They had papers taped to the inside, (with the orange tape around them), and they said REM.
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.
with that look i can only imagine what brock is thinking. now, dude number 1 isn’t the only guy who can use the line “ever been for a mustache ride??”….
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)
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.
man isaac, your guy’s music is so awesome!i know a lot of more people know the words ure sayin but i can’t explain it u guys r just great. ure songs r different. like tool u have so many different ideas, it seams like. ure indepentent. it’s amazing. you have so many different sounds so many different messages.
My first thought was: braids aren’t for everyone (although handy) then I thought, when something goes outside in the field it gets in harmless thicket also, it is good to be friends with animals, then, it looks like it’s happy or smiling, then I thought, it has observant eyes, then I thought, it is neat its kind can swim and walk. What an icebreaker!
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
i got one for this pic :”its a long way 2 the top..if you want to rock and roll” yea that was blasting at my telemarketing job today. as i was surrounded by small town delinquents trying to keep my soul alive.
King Isaac, No. 1. I have the exact same t-shirt; however, my name is not Isaac and therefore is in no way as ftting as said T-shirt on not said Isaac.
If Isaac’s going to be freaking king, he needs one of those Burger King crowns or better yet a sweet sailor hat like Loftus was wearing when MM was on tour.
This was the first song I heard in 2001 or so by you guys (on a Matt Hoffman BMX video), and had no idea how much I would relate and fall in love with your music, sounds, and messages…
After hearing this song, I found the album and had no idea I would collect every single song & cd from you guys…i dived all the way down to your 1994 “Blue caddet-3, do you connect” album…
Oh how relaxing you know Isaac sounds a lot like Black Francis talking shit about nothing,talking shit about a pretty sunset very awesome Why doesn’t MM play with the Pixies..what a sick show that would be.
hey guys. honest—> you rock. come to Los Angeles. we love you.. like a ton. i’ve gotten my friends like hooked on your music. we like your old stufff aaallloottt. errr//yeah. pretty much it. im listening to Modest Mouse now, beeteeedubss/
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!
wait..beer fest made the list?! I thought it was banned a long time ago! I just watched it on a long bus ride a few weeks ago..field trip to a casket factory..nice!
I’d of voted for Super Troopers, Slither and Knocked up
This is a wonderful sight to see; Modest Mouse going through a plethora of funny yet very cheesy Hollywood comedies; other than I suppose Knocked Up wich is actually a pretty good film in general. How does one become a Brockie Academy Member exactly?
what school let you watch beer fest on a field trip, a school that takes u to a casket factory i guess. i didnt no they had casket factorys i never thought about it before that sounds cool!!!!!!
yeah, I truly and sincerely hope that its not dude where’s my car. That movie blew on every single level. Hell, its a stoner movie with no weed! WHAT THE FUCK!
Excluding that film, there is certainly something to be said for watching cheap comedies while high.
I’d like to recommend some of my favourites for next year’s Brockie festival.
1/ The Parent Trap (original version, 1961)
2/ Tetsuo II: Body Hammer (1992)
3/ The Adjuster/ L’Expert en sinistres (1991)
4/ Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970)
5/ Smooth Talk (1985)
i was at my uncles beach house and he wanted to take my for a walk to find shells so i thought it would be cool to put jeans on so i told him “bet im the only person on the beach in jeans” aparenty not.
sory pat… i just wana know when the ep is coming out. YAY I LOVE JOHNNY!!!!!! he gives a cool effect and he seems to get along well with the rest of the band.
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.
jesus christ that had to have sucked…but you know you pulled through some how. big ass scary van….me too got the old 86 dodge ram van at the moment…till i got the money to trade it in. oh the different time life chutes the world has put us thru
are u planning some tour in Europe? if so, please visit Poland. i’m dying to see u guys live, but i don’t have money to go to USA or Japan :p i know that u were in Berlin last year, but i wasn’t your fan then.. please, visit us.
I absolutely love this picture! I’m a big Pearl Jam fan and to have Eddie sitting and talking to my favorite band just thrills me to death. Wonderful picture.
I believe this picture was taken at the Mann Center in Philly on June 18, 2008 because Eddie was in town for a Pearl Jam concert and he came out and did a song with R.E.M. If someone can confirm that, that’d be great. This picture means a lot to me if it was in fact taken that night. As my friend and I were leaving the concert we walked right by the tour buses and I was convinced I saw Isaac in the window in the back of the bus holding a cigarette out the window. So we stood there in awe for like 5 minutes staring at the silhouette, then we got hungry so we grabbed some cheesesteaks and went home.
I saw modest on 3/19 in Fargo the night before We were dead came out. Me and my friends waited in the van outside playmakers all day and I ended up FRONT ROW, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ISAAC. As kick ass as that already is, I remember yelling “Isaac Brock for president,” in between songs. He looked at me, laughed, and said “No man, you wouldn’t want that. I’d be stealin’ from the company.” Isaac in true form. I’ll never forget it.
HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP!!!!! SEPFUCKINTEMPER 25 untitled moudest mouse EP will be found in your local music store , (pitchfork magizien) this website has been hiding it from us all along.
Modest Mouse Please be sure to make your way back up through Chicago and Milwaukee and Madison because i really enjoy watching you guys live super drunk
Please go on tour again, and play songs from Long Drive and Lonesome/Crowded and The Moon and Antarctica and not We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank, which is what was played at the one and only show of yours i’ve been to (where I almost lost my voice screaming DO THE COCKROACH!!! to no avail) And more specifically, please come to Victoria BC, that would be best for me, because I am a starving student. But if you could come anywhere within a 1,000 mile radius that works too. I missed you guys in Deer Lake Park and am STILL complaining about it..
Or you could put out another album, pretty sure that would be better than ten christmases. christmasses? whatever. I would probably cry for joy and have to take a week off work.
anyways.. Best band on the planet, I mean it. Seriously!
I remember watching that shaker drop from the ceiling during Dashboard in Cincinnati and loving it. Could they not fit one more shaker onto either of the two drum sets?
Ya know… that crow photo reminds me of a movie I once saw. The horror was unbelievable. I think it was simply called, “The Birds.” They ate people!! And plucked out their eyeballs!!! Horrific, but Terrific.
happy 1st year of being posted, i went to party city today and saw the exact same mask so i bought it. when my sister came home i opened the door for her and scared the living shit outta her. MUHAHAHA!!!!!!!
PLEASE come Back to Cleveland ! ! ! I named my son Isaac because your music is the only thing that makes me as happy as he does . so please come back to cleveland or anywhere within like 6 hours !
judy is the man!! oh and don’t those bike cops at merriweather suck? i should know i have to live with them everyday of my life. come back to maryland guys!
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
I look forward to hearing something that you & Coby have worked on in beautiful Nelson County – we almost moved there but decided on the other side of the mountain in Staunton. I took my daughter to see MM in C’vlle for her birthday (a teen now – yikes). The show was fantastic and you looked like an adorable Pied Piper leading all the children to the tour bus.
Go Tom! Man I’d love to hang with you guys again sometime.. this growing up and settling down business sucks.
Bout a year or so ago I found a King Sour CD “nipple” in the CD bin at Cash Converters in Va Beach.. very surreal flashback..had to shell out a buck for it… forgot to demand they send you guys a royalty check.
hey Tom, I’ve been keeping up a bit with your continued musicianings, glad it has all panned out. I keep thinking about the Breadwinner +/or Mao Tse Helen and King Sour shows we used to do together, particularly at Kings Head Inn in Norfolk hahaha. rock. if you need a drummer for a tune I’m here.
that looks like honus honus…over there…awesome…and you know my eyes were crossed for a second when the page loads..did you know theres an S in checkers on jeremiah greens back.
Man Man and Modest Mouse should tour together again absolutely incredible combination! I hope you all are healthy, happy, and enjoying your time at home! I hope to hear some news on the new album! Pat, Thanks for keeping up on the photo entries
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!
For Christ Sake guys, you need to come down to Brazil! Please, como to Rio de Janeiro, man. Circo Voador would be the place to fit you perfect, everyone would like it, theres bunch of your fans down here. Please dont forget about us.
You guys are the best!
Ahm and if you come please play Trucker Atlas, full time.
=)
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!!!
yeah…thats awesome…I voted for him myself. and twas my first time voting by the way….since i dont really daddle with politics much…but it seems fit to say…he’s and easy to understand man. i just came back to day..i just came back ..from the storm…do do do
Pat, these pics are great. Thanks for sharing. P.S. does Isaac have some sort of pelt-obsession? Were his relatives peltiers/trappers? Have to believe it’s true.
this is killing me – every where i look it says modest mouse is taking a tour break….. and then i see photos of live concerts posted on this website from tonights gig. where the hell are you guys going???? i want to see mm live again!!!
im pretty sure this was taken last year when i saw them, like august some time.
i saw them at pine thearter and issac was talking something about the bumper boats across the parking lot.
Damn, where and when do you guys play next, I haven’t even been able to get to go to a single concert of you guys yet. If you guys are touring post it up and I’m there. I really want to go you guys are fucking amazing but it says your not touring yet where do i go to get some info?
i need some more st. louis pictures / especially one with the tree infront of him….
also a twelve string guitar picture would be nice or maybe some cornet?? who knows?
this picture is great. you should post a picture from the myrtle beach show because it was their first ever show in sc. And possibly if you took a picture of isaac’s finger being split open and put back together with glue or when they were playing good times waiting for his finger to heal real quick, it was so much fun.
Hey Pat, thanks for all of the great pics you post daily…I really look forward to a new one each day. I would love to see some pics of the Miami show at the Filmore. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed that show…and the venue rocked…it wasn’t over crowded (I am short so these things matter). I also was at the Miami show several years ago (Isaac mentioned it at the Filmore show) where they played at the ELKS Club!!! It was my first MM show so they could do no wrong by me!!! Anything you are willing to share would be excellent!!! THANKS!!
I think you should post photos from the Cincinnati show, because I spent the evening in a blissful daze, and it would be lovely to be able to revisit that night. =]
yes sir…well I went to the electric factory in philly 05/03/2007. do you got any pics from that? you played with man man that night…facing the stage i was on the left side…by jonny marr. During song cities made of ashes…a guy with glasses really was punched in the face. He was right behind me…security guards came and everything. i’m not lying….also i made it back stage that night…peloso signed my shoe….i spoke briefly with isaac..and met his son Aden….and an unknow kid took a picture of us…he got my email and eventually sent me pic so i had proof of the experience. twas a good night.
Well Pat,
I’ve been a MM listener for 7 years…. I have all the cds.
I finally was able to get to a concert over the summer at Myrtle Beach, SC.
They didn’t let me take a camera in, and I’d love to see some more prints of it to help me remember my first show
Pat, you should post some photos of the Mouse show at the Gorge is Washington. Why? Because the Gorge is fucking beautiful and I know you got some good shots.
Thanks man, keep the awesome pictures coming!
Hey Pat! I was at the 8/17/07 show in Northampton, front row. Despite my passion of you guys, I have only had the privilege of seeing you guys just once (so far!). I could just spot me in the last photo you posted (i think the “ra” from your name was on my shirt!), and would love to see more. It was my birthday the day you posted it, and waking up to see that picture on the site was so meaningful to me and easily made my weekend.
I was recently asked by a friend of why or what about MM I love so much, to which on the spot I thought up “lyrics, music, meaning, intensity, awesomeness!” and I just thought that it was a wonderful phrase and that maybe you guys would too. Can’t wait for the next tour (Come to Connecticut!!!)
Hey Pat, I’d love it if you posted some more pictures from the House of Blues, Myrtle Beach, SC show (June 26, I think?). It was my second Modest Mouse show, and as far as I’ve seen from looking at old setlists, it’s the only show they’ve ever played in South Carolina. I think that’s pretty historic, don’t you? Wouldn’t want documentation of that event to be held secretive. Plus, there’s the fact that it was just an awesome show in general. I know there’s a lot of SC fans who probably saw Modest Mouse for the first time this year and who would appreciate some more photos from the show.
you should post some pictures from the one at the south lake union naval reserve building cause i some how found out about it day of, was lucky enough to get tickets and skipped my poli sci test to go. plus first show of the we were dead tour ( me thinks)
I would love to see some more photos from the shows in Amsterdam and Hamburg. Because it was the greatest time of my life and Modest Mouse had an extremely intensive Stage presence! I’m sure you have a bunch of awesome photos from that shows
Hey, I’m just kind of curious if you got any shots of the Vancouver, BC show? It was kind of a short set though. And I don’t remember seeing anyone in the back poking around with a camera.
Back on 9/26/00 MM played a random, little place called Sher-Wes Gardens outside of Baltimore City. The Shins opened and my friends and I were 5 feet from the band! Amazing stuff, I’ll never forget. Hope you’ve got some pics!
The Nashville show at the Ryman last year was my first concert ever, of my favorite band ever, and i couldnt get any pictures because cameras werent allowed! Id love to see what i couldnt see from the last row!
Hello Pat, I would love if you posted pictures from the Miami, Myrtle Beach, and Norfolk shows from this summer because I traveled to all three in one week! The picture of Isaac and Eric signing my back in Myrtle Beach would be incredible photo’s from the Miami show would be great because that was the first show of the tour with out REM and the guys were loving it and jammed out like 26 songs including Dramamine/Life Like Weeds! The Myrtle Beach show rocked because I was front row and Eric smiled at me and waved and they jammed out an amazing show. The Norfolk show was incredible because it was the first time DDBB and MM played together live and I was there to witness it! I also got extremely overheated and threw up and the person I was with got punched twice by some very large woman… I got sick during The Good Times Are Killing Me and literally the good times were killing me, and the crowd sang back and forth with Isaac so many times at the end of the song that I will never forget the echoing of all of our voices in unison.. “the goooood times are killing me”
To sum it all up, I had an amazing experience traveling from state to state this summer, meeting you, the guys, and getting to experience the music front row. I love and appreciate all of your guys’ time and dedication. If it weren’t for all of you, my mind would not think the way it does!
Definitely post more from the St. Augustine, FL show…I kept being distracted by so many crazy dancers in the crowd!! Just kidding, nothing can distract me from MM.
yo pat, you do a great job and i know you’ve been following these guys around for years. my first MM concert was at the festival pier in penns landing, philadelphia two summers ago in late august. before i went to that show i enjoyed the music, but it wasn’t until after that show i fell in love with these guys. i remember hearing extended versions of dramamine and tiny cities which completely rocked, they just so happen to be at the top of my list for modest mouse songs. i can’t get pictures from that show anywhere so maybe you can help. that concert changed my life and my overall interpretation of music. great show, great encore.
I think you should definitely post pictures from Cinco de Mayo in 2007. That show was my first Modest Mouse show and also introduced me to Man Man which is now one of my favorite bands. Not to mention there were all kinds of people from the crowd on the stage, although regretfully I was not one of them.
Hey Pat, fantastic shots up lately, although like your instructions I would like to see some more photos from the 6/24 Orlando, Hardrock show. I don’t know if you recall but me and some buddy’s called you out before the show started near the front of the line and introduced ourselves. It would be much appreciated.
Pat, the show at the Norva was incredible. My wife and 16 yr old daughter and 12 yr old son went to NYC to see REM/MM. That show was good but when they played the Norva – GODDAM, that was a show! We live in the Atlantic City NJ area, so we racked up some miles those two weeks between NY and VA. Also, they played satellite skin at the Norva and having listened to it a lot recently, I hope they put it on the upcoming record. So, this one message should count for 4 votes for more Norva photos. Thanx and keep up the excellent work. We love the candid photos at fireworks shops and airports too.
I actually met / annoyed you (sorry i was slightly intoxicated) at the Charlottesville show. I would love to see some pics from that show. Thanks for all that you do.
Hey Pat, i think you should post more pics of the Rostraver show at the Ice Gardens. I missed that show because i was camping with some friends and my friends sister could get tickets and all but i couldnt cause i was in Ohio . im uber bummed because MM will probably never come back near the Pittsburgh area . and if MM is still around by the time im able to drive then there is a possibility. Gah!!
bet you don’t have any of them playing in Tallahassee, FL wwaaayy back in ‘04 at the Beta Bar. Man I will never forgive myself for missing them; they played four nights or something ridiculous. It should be marked as the first and last time Modest Mouse will have been in Tallahassee yo.
You already did put up some pics from Murat Egyptian room in Indianapolis. But I’d like to see some more. I liked the “warm up” and the one of Tom before the show. Loved the show, haggled for my t-shirt, reinforcing the idea that you can haggle anywhere, for anything, with anyone.
Hey, great photos of the band Pat, loving the action shots of Isaac!
Got any more from the las vegas show?
I was right up front, that was a hell of a night!
Please post Cincinnati pictures!!!!!
Why? you ask….
My first concert ever.
My favorite band ever: I have all the CDs and some EPs
I was third row
It was one of the best three hours of my life
They opened with Satin in a Coffin
Some dude jumped on stage from an amp on the wall
I bought a shirt
I love your photo blog
I was the Treasure Island Music festival, and it was the first time I had ever seen Modest Mouse, and it was the last show of their tour. I have never been so enthralled in all my life. The most amazing moment of the whole show was at the very end of “Spitting Venom”, when Isaac throws in ” Who needs hell, when we’ve got ourselves, who needs hell, when we’ve got ourselves….what good is hell when we’ve got ourselves?” Such powerful words for such a powerful night.
Any pictures of Modest Mouse tearing up that night would be amazing!
Please post pics from rostraver. I drove 5 hours both ways just to see these lovely boys put on a show (i wasn’t disappointed) and the atmosphere was almost perfect. I heard maybe one jeer the whole time, and the 20+ song setlist was more than any mm fan could ask for. Plus I want to see if I made into any pictures : ).
As a side note, not sure if this counts for anything, but I own nearly every modest mouse vinyl ever put into print. I’m just missing the UC Diggin’ Holes 7″.
PLEASE post more photos from the myrtle beach show!!!! Why? Because MM Rocked that night (they do every time they play), MM played a song that we had not heard before and spent hours finding it because like everything else they put out it was awesome!!!!! When is King Rat coming out?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?! SC never had such a wonderful band visit us and hope MM will return! The Atlanta show was too comical (not because of MM)….MM was the BEST band at the mistle to jam!!!! Plus we want to see all the pic you took Pat….we enjoyed watching u shoot pics while the band rocked! We also LOVE your book~silent pictures!
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.
Pat, you are a Modest Mouse fan’s wishes come true. If you have anything of the crowd from the Charlottesville, VA show then you’d be some sort of photographer messiah or something. Preferably any of the crowd right in front of the stage in front of where Johnny was playing. That area was going ABSOLUTELY NUTS the whole time. Fantastic work, by the way!
Cincinnati would be great Pat. It was my first MM show and totally blew me out of the water. It was the last night a bunch of my buddies from college and I were going to be together because afterwards two left for graduate school and who knows when we’ll get to see each other again. It would be great to have another picture or two to remember our mutual love of the Mouse! Thanks!
The shows in Nashville and Miami! I drove from Miami to Nashville to catch mm for the first time! and then in Miami I waiting like 6 hours to be first in line, only to be directed to the wrong place when they opened the doors, it sucked! Both shows were amazing, Id love to see more pics, thanks!
the tucson, az show from like last december. I bought a ticket and was going to drive down there by myself from phoenix to see the show. at the last minute my friend decided he wanted to go but you guys were all sold out. we made a counterfeit ticket for him and drove 2 hours to tucson not knowing if he could even get in. by some miracle the guy up front never even second guessed it. the show was amazing and at the end I even got one of marr’s picks! it was a really good show and really good memories.
PLEASE show some more pics from The House of Blues at Myrtle Beach, SC!!!! It was a great show, but cameras were not allowed in the facility. I was so excited for MM to come to my home state and I met some of the guys and you after the show! Very rememberable and I would love some pics of that night. (I did not bring a camera that night, so all I have is my memory). I would greatly appreciate it!
Hey Pat, got any more egyptians from Indianapolis? From house right? During Broke? Too specific? Dig Silent Pictures, was a gift from my husband. Epic Fugazi , could’ve had more The Shins though.
Hey Pat, the show MM played in Brooklyn last year in McCarren Park Pool was incredible. I’ve never seen anything quite like that show before. Also, it was the last show ever in the pool before they closed it down!
The Shins and Silversun Pickups opened up for Modest Mouse in san diego,ca in 2007!!! Just like Jacob said, I saw people go up and give the members some lovin!
You guys are one of not many bands that have not sell outs … keep doing what your doing its great.. the music greated by modest mouse has many meanings of life…. i hope you guys come to LA soon …
More from Charlottesville!!!!! Especially ones of the crowd up front where all the guys were launching each other in the air! That show absolutely blew our minds! Thank you, Pat!
While this story is not going to be as good as the one you pointed out, Myrtle Beach should most definitely win. The show in South Carolina was a first for Modest Mouse, prior to this show we in South Carolina had to travel far and wide to see them live. Compared to past trips, anywhere in South Carolina was a walk, or drive, in the park as far a trip time goes. As a fan for years before this show, it was something amazing to be able to meet everyone that came out from the tour buses; I left the show shaking because of meeting you guys. I sincerely hope that Myrtle Beach should win because of the quality of the show, the quality of the performers, of course, and because of the atmosphere of the crowd.
Myrtle Beach is by far one of the overall trashiest spots in South Carolina, ask any native and they will explain the same thing. When it was announced that Modest Mouse would be coming to Myrtle Beach it truly took intestinal fortitude to brave the city of Myrtle Beach. Overall a small price to pay for wonderful night, but nevertheless worth mentioning. Myrtle Beach simply reeks of cheap booze, past spring breaks, and touristism; all things that are not especially the favorite things of too many fans, well except for maybe the cheap booze. Myrtle Beach and it’s suburban bleeding down the coast to towns such as Georgetown and Charleston are simply ruining the historic and native aspects to both towns. In short, Modest Mouse speaks about such things in many of their songs and in interviews given namely by Isaac.
In an ironic sort of way, it was fitting that Modest Mouse should choose to play their first show in Myrtle Beach instead of some “hipster” town like Charleston or Columbia. Both Charleston and Columbia would have been equally great shows but for them to play in Myrtle Beach it shows that: they did not care about location, it’s all for the music, and, that anyone, even Ohioans down for summer vacation, can and should indulge in some great Modest Mouse. By playing in Myrtle Beach, it was shown that music stands far above whatever social groups, states, or prior music cliques that people were a part of, Modest Mouse does not care, dance and have fun. Playing in Myrtle Beach was in no way “selling out,” that’s just stupid to think.
The show in Myrtle Beach was simply amazing and I will forever remember that night. In a decently sized venue, packed wall to wall, and all of us dancing, there is no way that Myrtle Beach was a bad show. Isaac’s finger got split open, only to be fixed with SuperGlue, and what better way to let that dry than to play “Good Times.” Simply by getting hurt and then playing “Good Times” it was a sort of representation of the attitude that this song has. There are simply few words to describe how much fun the audience were having and how much fun it seemed that the band was having. Eric was having a great time and Isaac, as usual, was giving some attitude to the audience, all of us loving it every second. The show as great, enough said.
After the show the bands that played, a certrain photographer, and the fans all got to interact outside the taped off area. A few people got to take pictures with Isaac, most everyone that wanted to got to shake his hand and say a few things and, not to diminish the importance in any way of the other band members, but we also got to hang out with them for a bit. Of course you all could have gone into the buses and sat around waiting to leave, but you guys instead came out and spoke with us and showed that you wanted to hear what we had to say. By no means was Modest Mouse’s performance at Rostrover inferior, it was simply that Myrtle Beach was unforgettably wonderful for South Carolina. Thank you so much for all that you do Pat.
I would like to see more Deer Lake Park (Burnaby, BC) show pictures! As for stories, these dudes infront of me actually snuck in a wedge of cheese. Ha ha, I don’t know; I was laughing.
I would definitely like to see more pictures from Bogarts in Cincinnati! Waiting 5 hours in downtown Cincinnati for the show was great, but it was made even better by stumbling across my favorite band in the alley after the show! =]
Thanks Pat,
Hailey
hey Pat really your doing a really great job! thank you for all the amazing pictures.
It would be really cool if you could show more pix from st. louis and Issac in his straw hat or the tree bit
thanks and keep em comin
Indianapolis please. It was my understanding that it was only MMs 2nd time in 10 years playing in Indiana….so please come back and play some more from M & A and BNOOS. Rollins says they treat you right at Murat. I missed the Bogart’s show but I LOVE that venue so it would be cool to see those ‘nati pics too.
I drove 6 1/2 hours from St. Louis to see MM for my 3rd time.
I was going to camp at a campground, that rain storm was incredible. Powerful.
Drank beers in the car until the rain gave up, broke through the fence with the buddy i was with (his first time seeing MM) and made our way throuhg the 4 inch rain puddle on the ground and saw an amazing set which I wish went on until the early morning…
I think you should post pictures from Cincinnati because it was a great show in a fairly small venue, and it gave the whole thing a really personal vibe.
Hope to see some more picures soon! =]
Post more orlando pictures because it was the greatest set ever played! I woke up with my alarm playing Custom Concern. It was the very last song they played. The best song to begin and end your day. Also because Isaac is the most lively and inexorabe performer I have ever seen. Please. More Orlando Pictures!
I could not have asked for a better set. but i would like to say that the city of orlando owes modest mouse an apology for being assholes. I had to leave the floor. it was the worst crowd of punks i had ever stood amongst.
Do you have any pictures from Texas? I really wish they would come back in Houston its been 3 years since..But they played in Austin,TX last year in May and it was an epic show with rain.
I got some amazing vids of Isaac from the front row of the concert. I uploaded the best sounding one (The World At Large) to my blog (http://katuwapitiya.com/?p=237). I hope you enjoy it! (It really took a while to upload, lol)
still taking requests, Pat? I’m hoping for more pics from the Ryman show. if I were a greedy man, I might say it’s because we met the guys in the alley before the show and I saw you taking a ton of pics, so I know you’ve got them. or perhaps vain: “we were down by the stage in front of the legendary Mr. Marr. I was wearing a blah blah blah shirt and I’d love to see myself posted on MM’s website.” alas, I’m taking the high road here and asking for more pictures from the Ryman show because it’s the RYMAN – the Mother Church of American Music!!! and don’t we all owe the Ryman a little something extra? Thanks, Pat…I know you’ll do the right thing.
rows of lights to aluminate lines, I saw you guys sometime in 2007 atpromowest in columbus, old dude told somebody to get the fuck off the stage during some song? shit was epic , anyways, you dudes are my favorite shit ! Dont change Yo! come back to Cleveland I need a fix. Peace
I’m in this one too! See the red haired dude cheering, I’m the dumbfounded girl directly behind him! Yay! I already bought this picture its hanging in my bedroom wall looking absolutely awesome! Well done Pat!
if you’re still taking votes i was deffinately going to put one in for Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
It was my first time seeing MM and it was amazing. I was in the very front row where there are two pictures i see myself in which is awesome. I had some dude who was basically sweating on me which when i think about it is pretty gross, but didn’t even bother me just thinkin i was at this concert.
Me and some other dude also tried to pick my friend up to crowd surf, which only lasted about two seconds before plunging to the ground.
so anyways, Modest Mouse should definately come back again when on tour next year or somewhere atleast close to south carolina and i’ll definately be there again.
Hello Pat!
Could you post photos from the show at the Egyptian Room in Indianapolis on 11/12/07 ? It was the third show of three that I saw in 3 nights along with a couple others. That night was my younger sisters first Modest Mouse show! It was an incredible show and Indy is my home town!
Thank you for continuing to update
Oh! Poor Chris! I just have to remark on how sincerely nice you are, Pat…I love the comments almost as much as the pictures! Thank you again and again…
Man Man and Modest Mouse should tour together next time there is a tour. Both are such incredible performances. And the guys really did a great job at diversifying each shows set lists. They really proved to us all that they are extremely talented artists who don’t just play the new songs. Which, I am soooo excited to hear the newest!!!!!
Hey what’s up modest mouse! I’ve loved your band for years. I used the put on “moon in antartica” and make collages about the music. I went to a show once in phili a few years back .after the show Isaac signed my friends shirt and I gave him a cig…. Anyways it was at that moment I fell in love…..I’ll always be a modest mouse fan. I like the song “Bukowski” from your recent work. Until recently, I never knew what the name “modest mouse” meant, despite being an avid reader of Virginia Wolfe’s work. …. Virginia Wolfe’s story the “hole in the wall” has not only changed the way I look at walls, she has enlivened a new prospective about thinking creatively…being thrilled by nothing more than one’s thoughts, so that you no longer regret waking up in the morning.
you should visit the Cincinnati ti-state area again, i missed you guys last time you toured around here and i would i would enjoy seeing my favorite band play.
Can anyone tell me how I can get another copy of Nipple? Some jerk stole mine along with my entire CD collection. Forget the rest of my collection, just gimme my King Sour cd back!
isaac, gonna tell you…i¡m from argentine…tucuman…and im sure i¡ve heard broke in a remote place among the montains at 4000mts right here. but please understand me…it was the wind running trought those trees and the river down there…i loved it and i wished i could catch that sound…jus to share it with another human being…it s strange but i think that the song was travelling through the earth and, as the old americans natives, you developed your spirit just to listen and play it…thanks
Wow, Isaac sure looks worn out here. Concerts must be exhausting!
What I wouldn’t do to have Modest Mouse come play in Toronto!
You guys are my absolute favourite band of all time. I love your music! Every album is awesome, I have them all. I only wish that you’d come down to Toronto, Canada and play. I swear, I’d die if you did.
I’m sure you get so many comments from so many fans and I’m sure it gets annoying, but I have to say how much I love you and your music. Modest Mouse is the best
Hey JoeMack, I think its just taking them a while to put the new EP out but im not positive. a while back when the origional info was posted it said that it was being mixed. hopefully we’ll get some new news sooner or later. im not sure.
i was just thinking…ugly cassanova’s song sha sha sha sha…might mean shaman…from an indian…chanter you know…like that song by the doors…my love went riding…she rode through the day a…something like that. they are indian chants like….must be a spirit thing mixed up in rock and roll…i guess
i read somewhere that isaac got that sha sha sha sha! thing from an old lithuanian record that was layin around his house when he was young. i’m not sure it’s true. could just be internet gossip, but that’s what i heard.
I can’t wait. Hope you come back to Ohio!!!!! This time go to Dayton Like the Nutter Center, or that one place on the River in Cincy.{River Bend I think}
east coast baby! come anywhere near new jersey philly new york i will travel!!!!! please please please! i have like 25 friends who would love to go too its not just me i swear! easttt coasttt!!!
Come to CLeveland! Please! The Agora Theater is an awsome place. The Odeon is OK but not that great. Time warner Ampitheater is a cool atmosphere but probably very cold in the winter. You can play in my back yard if you want…Just somewhere close…Akron or Kent would be awsome too.
Yhay, your commin to my town!
i guess that thats what i get for living near the 2nd largest city in the US.
don’t forget about all these guys, guy! and Oregon is cool.
Dear Modest Mouse,
How the fuck can you go to VISALIA, and not Portland?! You have such a better demographic here. You’re loved to the moon and back. Going to Visalia is a great idea to reap all that untapped Central CA energy, but please consider a proper show back in the Northwest. We’re still boiling.
Ok, so the Langerado is canceled…I sure as hell hope this doesn’t mean you are skipping South Florida!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mizner Park in Boca is a excellent venue!!!!
Hey Pat! Could you post pictures of the concert that Modest Mouse will play in Oakland, California on February 22 after the concert is over? I will be going to that show and it would be nice to see some current tour photos of the band.
Your pictures of the band are incredible. I’m a huge fan. I know that the band is constantly traveling with the tour but is there any place where I can send them like a letter or anything? Just wondering if you had an address. Thanks, and keep up the great work !
The Miami Show…that was a great time and show!!! Also, can you please talk to them and tell them that coming to South Florida, even though the Langerado is canceled, is a REALLY good idea……..
Hi SS mike,
It will be out on day one of the tour…and yes it is a printed magazine limited to 1200 copies sold on tour.
Cheers,
Pat
ps rostraver is of course in the running..i love hockey rinks
more pictures from reno please! also, tell the guys to sign the wall at the grand sierra next time they visit. I was backstage a few weeks before the show and i after searching every inch i couldnt find one mm signature.
you should take some pic’s of the polish wedding hall in miami!! that would be classic,,, ill never forget that show. – Cant get far enough from florida
June 30 in Rostraver!
Maybe one where you can see the rink and all the fans.
I was right up front. (: (: (:
& please come back here guys. We’re missing you so bad!
How about that picture you posted from Myrtle Beach when they were playing “The Good Times are Killing Me” while the glue on Isaac’s finger was drying? I think that’s my favorite from the ones you’ve posted from that show.
And for the record, I love the photozine idea. I know I’ll be picking one up in Atlanta.
There is going to be a sold out show in Oxford MS, at the lyric. To my knowledge this was the first show to sell out on the tour schedule. It would be friggin SWEET if some pics of that show could get posted.
Ha hell ya!!! I love this shot! As much as I do listen to the “old stuff” I love any music made by Issac and the boys. This should be the single cover for Ocean breathes Salty… Where the ocean met the sky and time and life shook hands and said goodbye. My god I can’t wait til theyre in Baltimore on the 12th
Ha Eric looks blazed faced as hell! Good to see the guys stayin away from the fiend drugs and sticking to some good old MAry J. Not that their’s anything the matter with a little dabble in this day
Great to see him behind any instrument! Good things are still to come with these guys I can just feel it in my bones. Love your music Issac and would really love to meet you someday man
Well when I’m with the band I post photos taken minutes to a few hours after they are taken…
While off tour the posts are form the archive.
Posts will be as of the moment starting on Sunday night…stay tunned.
All of these pictures capture their true identity and you can really grasp that through their music and lyrics
just now a new fan of theirs!!!! They gotta come out to the house of blues in Dallas Texas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet pic. Doing the cockroach fucking rocked in Baltimore.
Great guitarist.
“Yes everyone, this is indeed Johnny Marr, but this ISN’T New york City behind me. That is actually a curtain, we’re actually somewhere in Barbados right now.”
You have such shitty luck sometimes.
he needs to be wearing his robin hood hat to go with the lederhosen.
dashing
what is isaac anchored to?
Hello to you too!
First comment on the MM photo blog EVER? I feel so privileged and honored.
Dude, can I have those face bones?
“Isacck?”

I would totally stay up to watch this show!
I told you it was my fav pic so heres a comment..looking forward to the book! ~La de da
great picture
Issac you are so hot in your booty shorts, nobody but you can pull this off
You guys will never believe this! I talked to my uncle last night on the phone whos in Hawaii at Waikki beach and he said that the weirdest guy he saw was this dude wearing really short shorts with a giant anchor tattooed on his back!
I love the way the cymbal looks like a big ole harvest moon
Ah, what a fuckin’ good tattoo there!
nice tattoo, Isaac
holy crap, what? 6 AM or something? pretend to be captain
effing Gross…how’d you end up breaking those…?

Wasn’t this a roady for Grandaddy once? I swear to god…
No not the bus – he got glassed by some twat in Nothingham
I mean Nottingham
I were there, I stood right in front of Isaac!
Gone wild right ya are! was bloody insane but fuckin great!!!
watch out for those wild yeti… they are rampid here in new england
i knew the music at the pines was great but i had no idea there were yetis in the woods. i hope eric survived. rock on.
Aw man. I was trying to convince myself that you guys didn’t do a signing at all because I completely missed it.
I was there : great show !
Whaat? When did you guys do a signing? I completely missed it too, that really sucks…
aww isaac where’s gonzo??
What a great shot..contains all the best ingredients…even the rain is represented in those light polluted clouds behind the ben franklin.
This is such a cool picture.
I love this picture.
this was such an amazing show! the rain didn’t take away from your performance at all. thank you!
aww nice shot Pat! *tanner is engulfed in Johnny’s guitar playing* great show! best birthday ever!! and thank Abe for my drumstick hehe
ps~ johnny dont you know its not polite to stick your tongue out at your fans?! especially more than once..hehe just kidding..love ya guys!
Epic.
I think I might see myself in there.
It was really insane, great show though.
yatteru?
I saw this show last night. It was fantastic. I have been wanting to see you guys live for about 9 years. Thanks so much for coming to Louisville, KY!
This could possibly be the gnarliest picture i have ever seen….
cozy
i really enjoy seeing the table of old ladies in the background..
pat, you’re quite the photographer
the massive wrath of johnny marr
thank you so much for coming to louisville, the show was amazing. i fucking love you guys!
I saw you all two years ago when you came with CVB. It was amazing then and it was even more so at Coyote’s. So much energy. Keep rockin!
I never thought I’d see you guys play without including “Doin’ the Cockroach” but this was so great it wasn’t even missed. “Spitting Venom” was awesome.
Does anyone know the words for the extended parts of “tiny cities” “trailer trash” and “spitting venom” (besides the part from I came as a rat).
The new songs were pulled off surprisingly well, especially Fly trapped in a jar, fire it up, invisible, and Spitting venom.
What was the fourth or fifth song… I couldn’t name it from any album…
Thanks
Right before this show started I asked my boyfriend if he thought that anyone in the band thought it was cool to be playing in the Ryman because of its history…..he said no and I was like whatever……at least one of them has to.
you’re the mayor of your own city, and the populations youuu!
hehe ok…
Aww, what the fuck… that was my last day in Honolulu before coming back to NY for college. I guess I should’ve dropped by the beach one last time.
And yeah, rad tattoo. RAD!
what a view!
-.- please buckle your pants.
ouch and wouldn’t that be shit luck?
I fucking love this.
whats in the clear plastic container? I wonder
Is that the bible………?
That concert was awesome!
o.O;; can my head explode now..?
I love your pictures guys.
Those are vivid pictures. Thank you for your art. The one of Osaka at night has a high degree of composition. I don’t know it that was intentional or not but I suppose that is what grace is!
double plus good
Beautiful…marvelous….I adore it…

Now I just want to know what’s on Jeremy’s iPod.
isaac your gonna need your Truckers Atlas..get it ha.
Woah! those colors! great pic again Pat!
(remembers blowing bubbles waiting outside in Cleveland) hehe
That is a very cool dressing room. I wonder who is recording and what for.
They’re fuckin incredible live. Doug Martsch’s beard is also quite impressive.
This is a really good picture! it almost looks fake, its just that GOOD!
…Awww….
WOOHOO That’s Holland! Finally. I wonder what he bought at Bijenkorf. Can’t wait till 21:00 p.m.!

This show was amazing! I drove all the way from maryland to see it and it was well worth it.
Life *is* still sweet. See you guys on the island.
O! The Life of a Mouse!
At least it went to that all night diner in the sky.
tree frogs you are…lovely darlin.
What is these?
What’s the green spot on Isaac’s thumb?
Shoot! I missed the show!
awwwww……..
He is talking. About?
You’ll quit soon. Keep trying.
Did the band do a set for AOL Sessions? Anybody know when it will be online?
Master it! Outsmart it. Kung fu or Capoeria it. Thank you for all the advice you have given through your lyrics!
haha brilliant
This is by far the best photo. Thanks for posting it.
Sleeping on the job of not smoking, or would it be not smoking in its best form, of sleep?

Where the Hell do you find something like that lol?
Alien: “I come in peace.”
Brock: “DERRRRRRRRRRRRR”
Treasure Island possibly? Those things were crazy. It was a great day for a show, which was a great one.
This one is hilarious!
There are so many interesting things going on in this photograph.
Woo! I’m in there somewhere.
Great gig guys.
lol
nice haudi
Was Isaac even of legal drinking age at this time?
oh yea..well i cant go but you rock and thanks for all the pictures man.
i’m scared!!!
That would be funny if all the members played on stage with thier faces painted.
I met someone last Sunday who wanted to trim a branch because it could have gotten in the way of kids running and it had thorns on it, but he wanted to talk about it with his brother first because his brother had the responsibility of keeping the garden. He was holding the branch like this!
beautiful dog. what’s with those men?
I wish I could make it out…i think you meant “view” in your title?
really dont know what to say…this looks serious.. i just cant handle serious right now.
When they where in the SLC they all came out with these plastic faces, but they didn’t stay on for that long.
good eye…i was just testing to see if people were paying attention.
Ah Ha. I knew it… well.. sort of with the face painting but the mask are awesome please do wear it it looks good;)
yes sir.
awesome
Like I said in the previous blog, they had them on in the SLC, and didn’t have them on for very long.
I do like the look, at least for a little while. I love to see Isaac’s expressions.
eats me spinach..nine
the mattson 2. shredders!
ha…hanz and franz…nice shades by the way. those are the kind that seem to be a target for slaps or punches. i had to get the plastic kind that were made in the 80s…their break proof…spose to last a life time…so far there still intact.
man your hangin by a thread…..gots to do something about this.
them are some messed up charles in charge extras, seriously.
you look like the cheshire cat with a moustache
amazing show, one of my top five of the last 10 years! thanks and come back to hamburg soon
I was as this show…… Beautiful just fucking beautiful I
thats pretty funny
HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Abe is nuts ..ya’ll are crazy! yet hilarious
Is that Abe? Johnny’s guitar tech?
Glad you’re having fun, but when’s the EP coming out?!
haha…he looks like he’s coming this way we better get out of here!
In all honesty, I don’t think I have the cajones to punch an amish person.
That is really a beautiful shot.
thats a good goblin.
This reminds me of Paul Cezanne.
ok Fidal…a bit scary to me…still love ya isaac
Sooo rad :]
Awesome website and photo!
hey pat, great chopstick and spoon action going on.
don
guess it depends how many voices are in his head.
Apparently, just the one.
Apparently, just one
born the same day as jack white
damn
that was a good day if i do say so myself
This is a cool behind the scenes shot. It almost makes them seem like normal people.
this shot reminds me of that monster russian camera and the two frame photos.
that was a great camera.
don
The first thing I thought of when I saw this was Mice Eat Cheese, because that song is a classic.
You already uploaded this picture, as number 114.
ahhh yes, you passed the test..just seeing making sure that people are digging the archive.
cheers, pat
Oh my lands!
The best photo Joe
I love these old group photos.
adorable!
Pat, you are the man. It’s photos like these that keep me in touch with the 3 guys that changed my life.
Pat, thanks for keeping us fans happy with these photos. These guys changed my life.
“Unfortunately, due to lack of talent and limbs, the pumpkin was sadly kicked out the band not to long after this photo was taken.”
I find it Really strange that there is an English Coke bottle in Osaka Japan.
Many greats
ha thats funny.
The archive is great!
Eric Judy. What a fuckin’ cutie.
eric judy. what a fuckin’ cutie.
Apparently the only thing easy about this book is sleeping to it.
Pat Graham….I too am a photographer and just wanted to let you know I check the MM site often just to see and be inspired by your creativity. Plus, I’m a huge, way back, MM fan so I get a double dose of the good stuff…. This is the first time I have ever left a comment though… hope this message does end up hitting your radar!
Isaac and the boys……….P.S. I work and live in Portland and got a hell of a Birthday gift this year back in March when I was “gifted” a ticket to one of your shows that completely kicked ass. One of the best birthday gifts I have ever received…. Thanks for a bad-ass show!
Hi Traci,
Thanks!! The blog is growing thanks to your visits, keep coming back and spread the word.
Good luck with your photo…
Cheers, Pat
Congratulations
Lovely.
Classic.
just so you know, Pat.. I’ve been digging the archive every day in 4 months.
This is a cute picture. I don’t know if anybody can answer this question for me but does MM plan on playing any tour dates next year?
Sean Penn? Nice.
Souls shine in the heart of phalanges.
Leanne,
yes they do…also in the next 2 months check the tour link..
cheers, pat
Thanks Pat
Pat, you should put the photograph of Isaac sleeping on the floor in a hotel room from back in the day on here. I think that is my favorite photo from the old days. I would buy it if I could find it. Especially silver gelatin prints.

Hey, next time spend a few days, hang out and play a show, we’re starved for muzak out here in the middle of the Pacific! Help a brother out, Geez!

that is defintely ganja in that little clear bag.
did you see the black dog?
spooky
Great photo Joe
aaaw

That’s one hell of a clog!
I always knew Isaac was a small fellow, but damn!
You know what they say about big feet.
aaaaw
2 cute
give em the boot.

A picture of Isaac and myself. A little off topic, but I’m bored.
Those weird Germans and their giant shoes, glad Isaac could be part of that magic.
no rain; no rainbows.
meh. take me.
I love Jacquelyn’s drawing! Where can I buy the t-shirt?
wot a luvvie! such a cute boy, such a great shot.
Silly Julio. Holland is in the Netherlands, not Germany. And it’s the Netherlands that have wooden shoes! Also tulips and windmills.
This is a great picture though, to be on-topic…
LK,
check here:
herefor the print
Also limited edition prints from silent pictures here
Cheers, Pat
Hope no one calls the ASPCA! hehe
p.s Got the book today..absolutely stunning photos!
Wasn’t this one already posted? I have it already…
Winston cigs are TERRIBLE. Great capture of the photo.
mondays huh
If ever a Mouse looked so chill
No eyes beheld it.
I’m lovin the color variations, and the orientation.
I want it in my living room.
Today.

she’s a beauty! ridgebacks are lovely dogs.
and they actually sort of do. it’s a good thing though!
HAHAHAHHA @the pic
Looks like there’s magic in his hands.
I was listening to “Everywhere and his nasty parlour tricks” tonight, and i was just wondering if isaac would sing a little bit on the new EP. I like the new stuff equally well with the old, and defend you guys left and right, but I love your more mellow side too. Not the missed the boat mellow, but the melancholic mellow of “night on the sun” or “willful suspension.” just saying.
THat’s MY tattoo… the one on the right of course…Namaste
The Apple! ha
the bible is always in hotel rooms…
delivery service in NYC…the plastic container
hee hee
I was there
I love this venue!
SUPER MARIO ON THE ORIGINAL NINTENDO?!?!?!?!?!?
CANT BEAT THAT. YOU JUST CANT.
This is great. I’ve heard a lot about Man Man and I can’t wait to hear them live along with the Mouse.
I noticed the “send us your stuff link” Does that mean we can take pictures of the show or what?
it depends on the venue…check the send us stuff link.
i am looking for anything to do with mm or your town where the band is playing…
Thanks!!
Pat
ps it could be a photo,drawing, art, thoughts, stories,…etc
What is Johnny eating? An avocado??
is this back stage at the big easy?
cool..so does this have anything to do with that modest mouse book you were hinting at in an interview awhile back? *wishful thinking*
yeah…only the best for mm…
at some point yes…for now its gonna be a new area of the site for all the great MM fans…
coming sooon…Pat
I can’t bring myself to play anything other than Super Mario 64. I’ve been playing that game for 10 years and I haven’t beaten Bowser.
I’ve been trying to find that Elliott Smith album for 2 months. Bah I am bitter. And great picture, o’course.
this is my favourite picture of Pat’s.
mmm, rather tasty looking boys!………. dame edna.
i’m sure that’s dame barbara cartland arisen
Maybe a stupid question but did they play King Rat?
That sounds awesome!
hes lol-ing
HAHAHAHAHA!!! the longer this tour goes on the scarier it gets!
what happened?
LMFAO, go Isaac! Canadian pride, woot!
Lovely pants Joe
Nice hat.
Somebody is a Mario freak. Who’s playing Mario all the time??? I can see the TV on in there!!
hmm who’s been experimenting with the toe nail polish?
nice tuque. eh
Who won?
Anyone have the set list from this show?
yeah….check the pic before this one..
cheers,
Pat
Thats a big swimming pool!
I have to say that I quite like this photo.
I have to say that I quite like this photo.
I am so glad you all put this up. We fans have been trying to find out what the set was for the Calgary show!! How ironic. I thank you.
soggy chips, soggy chips. errrrr french fries.
This must be in the famous Edmonton mall.
Hahahaha, me and my friends stood outside those buses for so long, with no real purpose.
It was cold and awful and hilarious.
Or possibly just a gigantic pool…
Buhahahahaha!
???
Is that really Pelozzzo? Wow.
is that some kind of mountainous (err caveman mutated) cabbage patch doll?
What is that thing?
What is that thing?
Sorry I couldn’t go; New York is more than a little outta my way. Come to Boston next time and I’ll have a thousand people there.
okay well that says it all fuckin hell *crying laughing* not what I’d expect in a million years..blue pubes..great LMFAO!!!
You guys were freaking AMAZING tonight. Come back to Saskatoon soon, please!!! Best concert EVER.
finally a picture of ike’s kid!!
i would like to take that comment back after just viewing the previous photo…… ridiculoussssssssssssss
hahahaha
These masks suit you guys.
I must add this in Myspace
okay. dude in the black shirt with the red star on it, if you are out there, PLEASE contact me with the picture you took. thanks in advance
Can you guys post a set for this show? Thanks for the activity on the MM blog lately. Good stuff Pat.
I have Similar cap too
Joe Why You are such a sad
smile Joe
I can totally see myself.
Love the hats. Joe is quite cute.
Great picture.
I’ve been hearing about the lyric “The population is you” is that from a new song on the hopefully upcoming EP or just some added lyric to the song? Please jump in the crowd in WI it’d be sweet:)
Thank you so much for actually posting the set! You should keep doing that! It always keeps me interested. I know you could do something clever with it.
I saw the title and was hoping this would be a picture inside an actual Hot Topic. Although now that I think more closely about that I’m kinda relieved it isn’t.
That’s great. I like those mirror tricks. Or is it a trick????? 8/
Pat. You are awesome. Thank you for keeping us informed!! Great show!
I cant wait to see you all in a few days! Madison, Milwaukee, and Indianapolis! Keep the setlist variety up!
Hey look there I am!!! Oh do I ever remember This. Yeah I didnt take a picture. Recorded a video instead. This was simply amazing. I will send it to you later Adam, I gotta get to work right now.
Daylin,
can you send it to me as well…click the link at the bottomof the page.
Thanks!
Pat
Joe even early morning and pyjamas looks always great
It’s not every day you go to your favorite band’s website and see yourself. Excellent show.
Would it be tacky of me to request more shots of Man Man? I hope not, because I think I’m about to…
It says that you are not accepting video uploads currently. so i am going to post it on youtube and send the link i guess. I have a few videos i am going to post. Tiny Cities Made of Ashes, Float On, The video i am recording in the picture, and a little video of The View(its just some snazzy guitar).
!!!!!!!! DId they play this Pat? The lighting in that is so elegant. Soundcheck? Fog or everyones smoke? Well, it us up with a set list! Keep workin hard.
I hope they are playing this song…oh Im so excited for the weekend.
Basically, Pat, you’re a badass…
Do they plan on playing this song tonight?
LOL, it is a trick. there are different people behind the mirror. At first glance, I thought it was a urinal shot, ha ha.
Which legs belong to Isaac? The blue wearing ones?
beautiful shot.
Some decent advice on quitting smoking (like Isaac will really read this): Find a small replacement that offers some small stimulation in place of smoking. Caramel candy drops worked for me. If your strong enough to write incredible music, you’re strong enough to quit. Good luck!
Definatly going to Laser Floyd. =]
creepy .. me likes!
Awesome set… awesome awesome awesome.
these are some good choices
I don’t blame you, this band was amazing.
Hey Adam, I edited my video and have pictures of it too…add me on msn or leave a comment with you email and i can send them to you.
Daylin_Pikaluk@hotmail.com
Yeah I am interested to know what happened here haha.
Thats pretty neat. SMB3 backstage…haha
Well, I am next to the person farthest to the left. My drummer (blue shirt) got in the shot, lucky kid!
awesome, I can see my yellow shirt. This was amazing! Great picture
LOL, look at his little sticker! Canadians kick ass. Ha ha, Isaac is having fun.
What’s with the letter “g” beside the picture? You might want to fix that.
Why does that one guy look so angry? haha.
That guy on the left in the black shirt is intense.
I feel like this photo never got its due, so……. Great photo, Pat.
Yes roman candles make you wizards Yay Canada!
I used to live in Iowa. I bet you all put on a great show there. Im driving up to Wisconsin tomorrow for the Madison and Milwaukee shows. Then back home to Indianapolis. See you there. Anticipation….
PS Setlist?
jesus has risen!
Who’s that, sleeping on the couch? Isaac, possibly?
Oh, nevermind, that must be Tom.
did they go bowling in Iowa?
great
man we knew we shoulda went in there before teh show.
Hey! So great to see Ian & Lulu & Mimi!
Love you
I want one!!
Nothing like a soft pair of pants….
Thats funny. Man Man was great and I can’t wait to see them again. Whew I’m still tired from this weekend. But thanks again Pat I really appreciate it.
That is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. Great acting by the way Loftus. lol.
I was at the santa barbara showww…you spelled ‘babara’ wrong :]
That was right after da show I was attt! Must be a boring book…
Cool picture. That’s an ugly green for a sofa!
so rad. what the hell is going on though?
What a perfect last three songs.
Killer photo!
MAN MAN rocks the house. Great pre-act to Modest Mouse.
I like your project!
Congratulations, keep on floating modest mouse!
Kisses
I’m glad you guys take pictures of the shows. I can actually see the two giants I was standing behind and my two friends peeking out around their big Paul Bunyan heads.
But giants aside, it was a fantastic show. I hope you guys come back soon. I’ll be there every time.
Haha, that one guy in the audience has the same hat and glasses as Isaac.
I am right beyondthe amp. Directly in fornt of Isaac. You can kiiiiiiiind of see my arm. Hope all is well. See you at the Congress.
It was great to have you in my hometown. Out of the 3 live shows, this was the best crowd. No lie. We actually watched, no pushing and crazy shit.
I wore pants very similar to Erics to the Indy show.
Nice.
I cant wait to hear Beach Side Property, Teeth like Gods Shoeshine, and Truckers Atlas. Im so stoked. You guys are the best. Be safe.
When are you guys going to play Portland again? Goddamn.
I love Man Man. I love Tom. I fucking miss you all… I really do.
Decided to give Mario a rest, I see?
I’m digging Eric’s pants and Jeremiah’s green jacket.
Come Come now. I know this said Columbia for the subtitle.lol. I’m all confused now.
Isaac is the white Ol’ Dirty Bastard.
This was the first time I got to see you guys live, and it was the most amazing adventure to your show and well worth it! I hope to see you guys again if you come back through the KS, OK, area again.
Hey Guys,
You played Albuquerque last night and I just wanted to say you guys are awesome, I’m going to see you in Tucson for my Birthday can you please play Baby Blue Sedan.
Jessica
I really wanted to go to this show but things didn’t work out. I live 2 1/2 hours from Norman but due to work and lack of funds, I couldn’t make it
I hear it was a great show. Hope to catch you guys next year.
lucky kids.
What a character…. that is awesome. I hope they keep the intensity and old songs coming when they get to Kalamazoo.
Damn that’s fancy.
I cant wait to see all you again in August.
woops…I mean chicago. Dont know where August came from.
Holy sh!t!! I was there but Isaac should’ve came a little further back! It was the GREATEST CONCERT EVER! Good job!!!!!!!!!
Our hotel was right across the place they preformed!
stormy kromer?
Great show. Balcony crowd was lame, they sat through the whole show.
You guys are so cool. Great show, great energy. Don’t book that venue again, though. The acoustics were horrible. Still, it was so nice to see a great band right down the street from me and not have to drive to Dallas to do it!
Doing The Cockroach was the best song you could end with!
Thanks for playing it.
heh heh, Isaac looks likes he’s really havin’ fun…
I was there! It was great! Even got to meet the band after the show! I hope to be front row in Tucson!
That girl in the red shirt on the left? Totally me.
lookin snazy tom
stuffed with shrooms……….hmm…………
The sharpest-dressed gnomes in all of the forest.
My favorite picture, for sure.
*David the Gnome themesong plays*
I adore you Ike, you are my God!
I love modest mouse more than anyone else that was at the Des Moines show. Maybe more than anyone you know. I know this comment is entirely unrelated to the photo but I’m posting it nonetheless because I didn’t want to scroll to others. I think you guys sounded great live, and I am glad I finally got to see Isaac scream into his guitar pickups. I was supposed to see you in Omaha during summer 2002 but my friend broke my femur in half in a car crash 5 days before that show. Keep playing music. I wish I could have drank Sam Adams with you at Val Bowl.
Your friend,
Zach
Guitar GOD !!!
Reminds me of that picture of McCartney. Great shot.
Great composition. Favorite recently.
This is simply amazing.. haha.. two of the greats in one hell of a picture
Why yes infact, of course, that plastic ass behind me IS mine- nice “is this seducing you yet” stare very well crafted infact
i like the line work on your tatts, where do you get yours done, (or his whichever) ive ben looking for a place whose lines are that nice….
I don’t know what I’d do if I stumbled upon isaac and wayne in a forest..
65, 66?
ah, the big dustbin!
I am extremely curious…please let me know. When is Eric’s birthday? Mine was the 16th of November and I share it with many people, but none so talented as Eric if that is the case. I have searched and searched online and cannot tell when he was born? Pat? Someone??? can you give me a clue?????
Yes! Eric’s Bday is the 16th too. Of coarse we didn’t manage to get to the cake till around 2 am before our long drive to NM…
Cheers,
Pat
I have one. Thank you Mr. “Professor” Marr.
Oh my god David the Gnome. Whoever said that, I love you…
I had no idea you were a beekeeper.
it is to contain the mãgìç fleas
I love this photo its very inspiring..I’d love to see more old photos like this!
A. Is that a balalaika Marr’s got there?
B. Is Eric making a documentary?
C. … nice locker room.
great shot
its-a mario and yoshi
This is the best picture~
bet that was some great acoustics~
Aww! Gorgeous!
Awww how old’s she?
Ah the famed shed. I always wondered what it looked like.
Oh my Good God! Is that really the shed? This is the most meaningful photo Ive seen on here. Wow. Im flabbergasted. See you all tomorrow. Pat, should I bring my Nikon? Would it be possible to get passes? I didnt get them with Tanner and Martin at the Wisconsin and Indy shows.
That is just too cool. Thanks Pat!
Oh sorry, Isaac took that picture.
Is this really the famous shed? Where it all started? I’m definately saving this.
aww she looks like me and Chrissy here in Chicago..ahhh nice and warm now we got out of the ice and snow!! tomorrow should be interesting hehe YEY!
hopefullly this is shed werd it all started!
when is christmas on mars coming isaac?
Hahaha, for some reason I was expecting the shed to be outhouse-shaped (like, rectangular). In retrospect that makes no sense…
Woah! It’s THE Shed! Tremendous!
wow, legendary!
awesome
Hmm, looks more homier then one would imagine.
I just noticed after seeing this picture for the, like, eighth time; is that Isaac’s guitar? Who is that lucky kid? A fan?
If those walls could talk…..
Thats bullshit. Do you know what I would do to play that guitar?
That’s Johnny Marr’s son you idiot.
Nice shot, Naheed. Did I just write that twice?
It’s a Wicks guitar. Check out the links section, yo.
Ha ha ha ha ha! Great show in Chicago you all. Thank you so much for the times this year. 6 great shows! Take a break the next few months and hit the road again like you have been. Ill be looking for Teeth Like Gods Shoeshine, Beach Side Property, and Truckers Atlas. Peace.
You know the best thing is that it’s an incredibly accurate impersonation of Marr.
Isaac looks quite interested in that there shroom…
Wow where it all started! I wonder what it was like inside..
there is a fungus among us hehe
i dont know what to say
It’s on my birthday! yaay:]
She’s 4
Joe: the next Dog Whisperer?
This dog have really nice teeth
not dangerous at all
What do I have to do to visit this room?
Beautiful Pat. Love the composition.
dudes!!!
Great pic! Is it from the Download Fest in Mass? I was sitting next to Nick’s parents/grandparents, evidently…. or at least that’s who I was told they were.
nice photo..where is Robin and his Jag? all the lovely guitars!
lovely.
Look at all those bananas! Cool picture.
That’s one awesome supermarket!
Yeah, he’s Johnny’s son. Kid 4077 is his band name.
jeremy playing the part of moglie.
hah, awesome photo.
plan B sucks
as in if Isaac wouldnt have made is a muscian he would have had his plan b:washing dishes?lol shiiiit
Insane. Fantastic. Amazing. Thank you oh great and glorious shed.
Isaac, please please please be smart with your money. I would hate to see one of my heroes having to wash dishes 20 years down the road.
My favorite picture, for certain reasons.
great photo!
It fills me with awe and wonder. And a little bit of hunger.
“don’t keep bananas in the ice box”
thanks for sharing Naheed. It’s kind of just how I pictured it.
I hope people recognize the significance of this photograph….This should be in the history books years from now
ditto on what Ed said! yep!
Incredible.
aww joe is so cute
and isaac
*Whistle* There’s my dream boat.
Ha ha, nice shorts.
Swimaritans 1 – James Bond 0
Btw Pat, is there a deadline for the fan submitted stuff?
your shorts are out of control
Oh mt.
This made fucking my day.
Everything about this picture is perfect.
I love it. Thanks Pat.
hallowed be thy name
Color-coordinated and everything. Do I smell a side-project?
or hallway instead of hallowed
Lucky Guitar!
humble hamster
That is some super sexiness right there, my friend…. That is some good stuff! Those swim trunks kick some serious ass….
Narrow Hall? :p
Industrial folk music. Insane string and accordions. The bearded duo?
Joe always looks great
curious eyes.
The Corridor Boys! Hehe. Awesome…
well me and my boys were thinking a real good name for a band would be goose-egg, but spelled like this: güseg. notice the umelat over the u.
Well, the MidnightPoutine guys would like me to suggest ‘The Mittens’, but failing that, ‘The Judy Peloso Special’ is all I got.
Yes. Yes. A million times yes!!!!!!
My heart’s the bitter buffalo. And my eyes hurt a little, now.
well now in regards to the picture.. strummin and drummin are pretty close related.
Massive Bereavement
onion terror
Trust Me I’m A Stomach
sorry, i stole them. but they are still great names.
the kromers
or kromer. something like that
The Judy and Peloso Experience…….? you decide
The Judy and Peloso Experince…..you decide.
I’m not sure if this is a bad thing, but my first thought was ‘Freebird’ when I saw the slide.
Nice shot.
All that is missing is the bucket to throw money in.
No offense to all my family who still lives there, but Oklahoma is the worst place on Earth. Kansas and Nebraska don’t have shit on the Sooner State.
so adorable
can i join?
Reminds me of Dylan for some auspicious reason. Good photo Mr. Brock.
The Norwegian Blue prefers kippin’ on its back?
I think your drummers are having identity crises.
Definately ‘Grigrigredinmenufretin’, which is French for Rumplestilsken.
My kind of preacher.
Just call Animal Control, thats what I did anyway.
Better watch out. Those damn reindeer will steal your soap and clog your drains with hair.
the woodrips
what the hell are maps doing on the bathroom wall?!?!? LMFAO!!!!!!!!!! hahaha
haha btw.. thats one bad reindeer. lol. BAD REINDEER! BAD! BAD!
wait, is this a porn magazine? Damn, Rudolph…
This was why the beatles broke up, cause Paul always kept John waiting. Just giving a heads up.
hackensaw boys
Even with just a two-man band it can be difficult to keep things organized sometimes. Hang in there guys!
Beautiful. I love this shot.
I sense a sneak attack.
I really love this picture Pat.
I really do.
When I got the money, I shall buy this print, okay?
I will wait with you forever my love
If tom doesn’t show up, I’m stepping in. I would so jam on some tunes with ya EJ
Why, it’s The Corridors! Isn’t that obvious?
I love that concertina. i think eric should play it on stage. maybe he and tom could debut one of their songs haha
my advise..stay away from myspace..and keep smoking that god given green. lord
I Will Wait With You If You Dont Mind
I know what im looking for now….
aww man, this is awesome!
wow … it’s the famed ” Shed ” holy crap , I wonder what kinds of mischiefs when on back there … also wonder what it looked like, cool pic
What happened to the trash bags? haha.
we had to get rid of them after the children started asking about putting plastic bags on peoples heads…”mommy i thought we werent aloud to put bags on our head?”
the woodrips
oogie boogie boogie
Yes, stay away from myspace.
I love the depth of this photo. Love the composition.
aww hehe the neighbor’s blue Christmas lights are nice as well! Happy Holidays!
its perfect longitute
Terrifying. Fuck all the haters, “People as Places” is your best song to date guys.
Yeah… I got the one on the left (Honus)’s drumstick hanging in my room. He handed it too me after the set. It was the greatest moment of my life haha.
secret songbird
You could call it a composer duo comprised of your last names, “______ and ______” .
Well I hope you did…
Love the content look. Where is this?
Ha! This picture is hilarious. Thanks Pat
hilarious
there must be some trippy 3-D pages. good times
so many awesome elements capture in this one shot!
this is a really really cool picture!
I love how it seems every A/C thats exposed and where you can reach someone has to carve something in it..nice graffiti
Good gawd! If I find this fellow under my tree, I’m running…
I adore this; it’s perfect…
haha
Nice teeth….
Oh and thats some woderful camera work there buddy
Great picture. I didn’t know Johnny Could read.
Two things Pat, I love Silent Pictures and ask Sir Isaac (the musician not the British revolutionary) if Brian Wick guitars are worth it that’d be great.
I love Brooklyn
It’s got big fangs! I did not know Rudolph’s cousin was in Monty Python.
You just dont know what you do to me…………
this has to be the best pic i have seen in a long time!! good one issac!! merry holidays!!
Lovely.
Are those war medals?
Bob Dylan – good musician, like M.M.! There is a saying, give your firstfruits to something higher, probably why Modest Mouse is doing so well!
Wow…that is one scary christmas bunny. Yet somehow not quite as scary as this nightmare fuel I just ran across…
The Bodyguard
I want to know what everyone got for Christmas. I’ll go first: my favorite gift was a membership to the local farm co-op.
Funny, it’s creepy though, tell it x-mas is over lol
Reply to Amandas comment:
I got an amp for my bass!!!!!!!!!!
ahh cool! I love riding in hot air balloons! the peacefulness when you get up there, I miss it.
I could play that if I had all my fingers…
The toilet brush holder is shiny. I like that.
That looks like the same thing that ate my cat.
looks pretty yellow
other people’s lives 2
All Iowans wont understand this.
This picture is cool as hell.
I feel like I need to break out my disco tunes.
i realise this is a dipshitty question, but what kind of lighting was going on there? Was it just the houselights, or did you use the flashbulb bit on the camera?
this looks like the album work from Lonesome Crowded West.
I’m jealous. The last time I saw MM was Dec. 7 in SF, great show but Isaac didn’t let us sing!!
How cool is this? i gotta do this when i play live
Look how white hot the hand at left is. Definitely flash.
Johnny’s face in the foreground-classic.
Hi,
Yes a little flash with room light for this shot….
Cheers,
Pat
Oh My God!
Favorite picture of Isaac on stage EVER!
how can I get a print of these Pat? Possibility at all?
Issac is God! Every time I met him I felt like pissing my pants! What would the music be like with out modest mouse? The dark ages.
In Isaac we trust.
beautiful photo!
This picture saved me and my day.
Who drew that picture?
notes..AKA more like a ton of work for Abe hahaha I remember the days of being a Teachers Pet
It’s kinda cool to see that mr. marr uses a capo on ‘float on’ just like us regular guys.
More like… Isaac experiences spontaneous human combustion.
Julio, i got one of Isaac’s guitars. they are amazing :O
Well isn’t Marvin the popular one? Ha ha.
really a beautiful photo.
Thanks, Pat
Hey is that N.S.?
Awww, Johnny the dog lover. ^^ heh. gotta love him.
and hes always got his guitar with him! LOL
This is a really great photo Pat. you’ll put this in your book I hope….
I love that couch.
…I would tell you that I hate how the new green bullet mics don’t have a built in mic clip
Love this shot! Scotty’s are the best.
Also very much enjoying the photo per day system.
Sucky seats, amazing show. I’ll have some organs harvested next time, think they go for a pretty good rate… Trade you kidneys for front row.
This picture rocks!
Hair Band!
Is that Scott Plouf from BTS in the background?
Where was this?
I love this!
The West is the Best
Shit Pat. Shit.
This is beautiful.
Breathtaking.
It just.
Takes me back, man.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Whatever happened to the van anyway?
there is nothing better than yummy polaroid fun.
This is fucking beautiful. Reminds me of Baron von Bullshit cover.
Looks like someone accidentally mastered Lyrical Abstractionism via polarized light. Neat.
Adam was only using Paige for sex but she was too clingy. She was dumped shortly after writing this. She thinks of him often.
That’s my Plan A.
oh Sir! this photo looks amazing!
He looks like standing on the layer of ship on the rough sea, so unreal. it causes a pain of eyes.
i’m sure that this mister doesnt see this people around heh.
well, one more time – great! and sorry for my fatal english, i did my best.
Krang
Good Shot, nice people.
Pat- you take awe-some pictures. Glad to see after a hiatus of being on tour with MM that you guys can reunite years later and have an awesome time all over again. Speaking of deserts, will we ever hear Tundra/Desert at a show again?
HAHAH!!!! there we are on the balcony! LOL! very scary!!
that was one super awesome night i’ll never forget.
fuckin excellent show and classic johnny being a goofball. love it. 
Oh my God I can see myself
Thanks for posting this picture it will be rememberance of my night at this show since I can see my friends and I in it.
This was during Spitting Venom. It had to be.
hehehe damn balcony..rum and heights just dont mix!
Great shot none the less..never fails
Amazing what you can do with computers nowadays…
Joe sporting the notoriously villainous modest moustache. Looks good. As for the Box Beard, keep shaving.
I like his shoes.
What a mustache
madison… first of three great shows in a row. from where i’m standing (white t-shirt on balcony) you could see everything. that view was extraordinary.as was hearing ‘talking shit’… thanks
are we looking straight up a mountain in the back ground? was this a poster… and perhaps someone happened to walk up and draw on joe’s face? those were my first thoughts at least.
Great title as well…
Out of those 3 i wonder which is the most likely the band would play? I reckon:
Cowboy Dan (most likely)
Free Bird
How Soon Is Now (least likely)
Such a shame Cowboy Dan has taken a backseat at shows over the last couple of years.
Isaac’s got enough for the rest of the band, surely.
^^^ TRUE THAT
Now that’s freekin disturbing… LOL
Whoa…once you guys can afford a shitload of fiji water bottles then you know you’re a big shot.
Hell yeah get high on coffee
That picture looks like someone really humble is serving.
yeah i dont know what im saying but im saying it
Yesssss!
Which one’s which, eh?
I will never forget this night of my life! Thank you so much you all. I hope to see you at that venue again someday. Cant wait to see tour dates back up.
I wish these pictures and captions were one of those bedside table calendars where you tear off one of the sheets each day.
sweet lightbulbs
jammin’
gnarley boots
Nice paper towels. LOL
I play in my bathroom because it’s the largest room in the shit-hole I live in. It also sounds the best.
CLEAN!!!
Beautiful!!
Duh. I knew that Jeremy.
ooooh loftus you look so looovely in pink.. ha hahahaha
loftus and his ever growing hat collection hehe nice paris hilton glasses!!
Renaming variables can merge datasets on the key so vernacular becomes lingua franca
For anyone saying Free Bird isn’t the LEAST likely song the would play doesn’t know Modest Mouse that well. haha. Isaac freaked when someone yelled Freebird during a Baron Von Bullshit recording.
Awww! How nice.
Nobody likes Marilyn Manson and incubus anyways.
who wouldn’t want to hang out with nice people like MM?
Stingy bastards
Im so proud to call you my favorite.
haha i love you guys
I Like Beth’s makeup
Better then hanging out with Incubus and Marilyn Manson. I much rather hang with Mouse! We can play Pac-Man.
I am so glad you posted this picture, You have no idea how intense and amazing that night was for me, I knew our picture would get put up, we deserved it. I am the confused girl in the teal tank top haha.
I am also the person who hurled on the people below me…lol. You guys did a phenomonal job, Talking Shit was incredible, I had not been that happy or felt like I was in the right place for along time, The energy that night was beyond my imagination and you all deserve an extra round of applause. Thank you so much for three spectacular nights of great performances. I can not wait to see you guys soon!
Modest Mouse? Yeah, I heard they were alright.
Come on Pat… GET A MAC!
AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU IN CHICAGO ON JUNE 6TH!!!
i have nothing thing to say…but hey..how are you?
that wouldnt be a orange julius your drinking is it brock??
she’s wearing makeup?
Score!
Everyone looks so pensive here.
Does he keep this on his amp or something?
Wise words. Thank you Pat.
thank fuck for feet
Good to see everybody chillin’.
bloggin taboggin
I got a real nice get well card, purty enough from framin. so dang it all i lost the thing, so here’s the bag it came in!
Lovely. Drummers rule.
The sensual groovings of Modest Mouse – percussion division.
The best duo drummer ever !
Yes, Beth is wearing makeup. Nice makeup.
from isaacs talent and that beauty is a great match together
it looks like he is covered in some sort of fungus………
That is a beautiful photo!
It’s eating the flesh!
Heh.
Isaac in his true natural state.
Going back to the water from whence he came.
I like it.
Nice Joe
Smoking kills.
like something outa a french movie
Equally beautiful! Isaac photographs well. In every sense of the word.
Ah ha!
It concludes
Damn, look at the impressive stache.
Facial hair is all the rage these days.
as they say in my part of the world, “dandy”
sólo voy a decir que esa foto me encanta, es por lo que habÃa pedido hace tiempo!!!
isaac es simplemente sexy!!! i love him!!
WOW. OMG!!!
what else to ask for???
this dog is warmer than me. nice joe!!
Hank?
Joes just a dog person huh?
Killer shot.
Very cool picture.
i dreamt with is place before i knew exist!!!
There’s no way this is real.
Speaking of which, you lot really do need to come back to Australia ASAP!!!
I’d rather be out in that other water.
Pools; psh.
As an avid lap swimmer, this looks like heaven on earth.
You guys get to hang and swim, and I’m stuck here freezing to death. x.x
Love it! Wish I was there! However I don’t think I could pull off the baby blue boy shorts!
Oh ho ho.
Caught!
Those fuckin’ swim trunks again.
This is an amazing photograph…I think it may be perfect.
amazing, he looks soooooooo cool. and the best part is hes not even trying to be
yeah, this is really amazing.
magician…prophet….circle of light…..fuck yeah, JOHNNY!!!
very nice shot
J.P. — Thanks for the avacado in Minneapolis. What was that receipe again? Avacado, pepper and toast or some shit?
This would make a good print; “pejorative jinx”
Jeremiah stole his grandma’s shawl.
Beautiful cloud ’s
and nicely to see Joe smiling
Hey, wouldn’t it be cool to find the meatloaf one day just randomly? And come to think of it, where do you even go to get a podium?
I can’t help but adore this photo, for I have a black and white feline friend of my own.
Pat-excellent job with the site.
Its AWESOME + informative…
this was at the grand sierra resort formally known as the hilton this show was amazing great song list .and very excited fan lost his leg lol
Nice article.. Blame It on the Tetons is a very deserving #1
This site is top! great work putting it together and mastering it all mate.
Teeth like God’s Shoeshine.. I was listening to that song a few days ago.
just saw that you guys are headed to Pittsburgh on June 30th…THNX for coming back to the ‘burgh!
I am so excited for Chicago it is unreal!
Things look very nice!
Thanks for keeping the fans in the loop!
Loving the update to the site. Is that The Whale Song I see there????
hi Pat – the site is looking great!
dAN
hearty back slaps to all concerned
I hope you got those previous comments I had left on here before the site change.
I was just thanking you for the beautiful show at the Gorge.
It was my first time seeing you guys live and I have been in love with you for years and it was more than I could ask for.
Beautiful.
whoa!
Great job. This looks smoother and more awesome then the previous.
What is a Pork Faggot?
Oh myyy!
Modest Mouse, you’ve done it again, another great setlist, and yes. GASP. The ever infamous Whale Song, you guys should play it in Toronto (Y) (Y)!
10 days!
Whhhhhat, haha sick.
Cant wait see you guys TONIGHT!!!!!! i’ll be looking the allys for you guys
I wanna see you guys in Miami, but only if you’ll play the entire Everywhere & His Nasty Parlour Tricks CD. Let me know.
Your friend for no reason,
Rhob
Congratulations Isaac and Naheed!
We are looking forward to seeing you in Boston, Rochester and Cincinnati. I love it that you are continuing your WWD tour this year.
Awesome!
That guy was pretty hilarious! I can’t believe I was at Issac’s feat!
who in the world is D.R.I. and why in the world is a metal band opening for the pageant??
Oh my god.
You guys are selling these while on tour?!
Wow. I’m going to a concert the day before I see you guys, but now I don’t think I’ll buy anything there, and go all out on you guys the next day!
Jeez I’ll listen to anything a Pixies fan says.
Throw in Bam Margera and we have a sitcom.
Good List. The first song is one of my favs too.
tour in atlantic canada, or at least somewheres where your canadian fans can do shrooms and listen to your music lol
Trucker’s Atlas and God’s Shoeshine?!!?!? Godammit, come back to Australia and play that set!!!
You guys are awesome.. Especialy you Isaac!!!!
this new site is the sweatness……..+ awesomness…….+ ya
beautiful….
The site looks great, and I love how everything you want to know is available on the home page! and the photoblog rocks.
that is awesome
I was doing the hokey pokey front row baby! Great show!
Okay..(very odd) but I fucking love it!
hahaha..Nice shirt Abe.. whats the story on the big gold cellophane/foilish bag when you click here?
Hahaha, I saw that back in the day when it came out, funny stuff.
“I heard he had like, 30 dicks”
:/…….love the 30 dicks part thats classic!!
Ha ha, cute.
I love corny jokes. Here’s one: “Why does the cat dislike the tree?” Because of it’s bark. That one had me rolling on the floor in stitches. Seriously.
i’ll be at the orlando concert. you guys f-ing rock, my favorite band!
this is my second Modest Mouse concert. my insides are going to explode, i’m so f-ing excited!!! you guys are the only thing i listen to! i’m getting a tat of you guys on my arm.
hahahahahaha…looking forwards to the day you come to cleveland again. waiting patienety for a date, maybe, maybe not. pat, i bought your book, it’s awsome.
That was awesome.
I’m going to catch you guys in Atlanta.
it’ll be heavy
rofl
Why is it always the lamest jokes that I laugh at most?
See you in St. Auggy!
COME TO NEW ZEALAND!!!! we have birds that can’t fly and millions of modest mouse fans in our country of 4 million
Me and my friends saw modest mouse at the hollywood bowl on thrusday and i loved the fact we were the only ones in our section going mad over them and when they pulled out Truckers Atlas we lost our minds all the old people who where there to see REM said “wow, you girls must love these guys.”
This shot is amazing. What a great show.
You might remember me – I was the photog who shouted your name before MM tore into their set. Keep up the great work!
SOB i not alowwed to go to conserts i’m too young my mom says (crys) and the one time you come to florida i hope i dont murder my self on june 24th now. O and come to tampa next time!
GOOD PICTURE its beautiful…
DUDE THATS A SEXY PICTURE!
YAY HIS HAIRS BLACK AGAIN!!!!!!hes hot now
lovein the BOOTS!
Modest Mouse COME TO EUROPE
COME TO POLAND !
PLEASE !
aliens.
Was everyone just sitting?!
How can you just sit there when your music seeps out and is crawling through their bones and blood vessels?
I’m sure they were just numbed by it.
That’s why they’re all chillin’ in chairs.
My friend and I lifeguard in Manasquan, New Jersey and one day we sat on the stand and listened to modest mouse from the start of the day to the end just interpreting everything song and what we thought was being explained. Not much better then sitting on the beach on a beautiful day listening to modest mouse.
I saw Modest MOuse at the hollywood bowl also and they were fantastic….i went psycho when they played “CockRoach” but I just felt that the REM crowd didn’t really match with the Modest Mouse crowd who was so scattered. I felt like i was the only person in my section who was singing and dancing…and everyone else was like what the fuck is she doing? This was the third time I’ve seen Modest Mouse and I think you guys were ur best in Las VEgas at the Joint. Smaller venues with your real fans are way better…then old farty ReM fans who dont even know who u are.
So when is the ‘Modest Mouse: The Amazing Journey, That Is Europe” ???
washington… washington
like the panting at the end of the song… ha
COME TO CLEVELAND!!! WE MISS YOU!!!
Uhm…People…they aren’t looking for stories posted here. Regardless, those stories were poorly done, with practically no context and hardly a climax. Nice…
I’m sending in a few pictures I’ve doctored up, and probably a story of when I was at the Nashville show last year, and why I never went to Deer Park in Vanny.
Love you guys
–Murph
and what about quebec city or montreal?????????????????
awsome shoes, i like shoes, alot.
R YOU SERIOUS!!!!! THEY WHERE BORN ON THE SAME DAY!!!!!!!!!!
I like the end, how each thing supposedly increases how awful it was, but that the worst thing of all was that it was “…at a party.”
Sweet. I hope they’re not sold out by Thursday!
hey hey hey dont rain on my parade good sir murph simple mistake but if you like you know if its ok with you i can send it to the e-mail address now excuse me faust arp just came up on my itunes
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.
that’s awesome.
I like the dingle hoppers and the backyard willies. Oh your site’s cool.
Tony’s gay..but what the hey…was that mean. i like how you asked him if he ever got bones coming out of his skin..something i might have asked.
i love that video, “Two on the vine, so divine” , look forward to seeing yall in Orlando. oh ps if u like that video watch the JFK video….quite possibly just as funny
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
where can you buy this poster? is it limited time only?how much?
that was awesome.i feel alive when i hear you
cool
that’s awesome for both you guys.
looks hott
by the way, the site is totally awsome.
Nothing better than cluttered-backyard grill sessions. My Bros and I are partial to “beer burgers”.
who’s adrian?
Play Florida in Florida. It would make my day.
Kick ass show!!
The Denver Post reviewed the concert and said that R.E.M. seemed a bit “thin” and “lifeless” but it quickly put the blame on the venue, saying that Red Rocks is made out to be a “mythical place”, but even this great venue has it’s bad days.
Red Rocks seemed to be treating Modest Mouse pretty well, though, because the set was absolutely perfect- albeit short.
Come back to Colorado, you guys!
Without R.E.M.!!
I will not lie, that is one, if not THE coolest venue I’ve ever seen!
This one it truely beautiful, Pat; nice job.
Can’t wait until the 14th. Dying to hear you guys!
shocked!!!
nice view and fx!
nice dreams sweet angels!! love u.
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!!!
Are the rumours true about Isaac losing his left eye?
what a hottie.
God damn that is awesome.
THIS MAN IS SO SO SO TALENTED! He is a THRILL to watch on stage!
I was at the Hollywood Bowl On the 30 th, AND me sister and I are huge fans, Even though no one else there seemed to care, I wish you guys could have played more, Because your lack of coming to MONTANA every year, where I have seen you in Bozeman and Billings- I was just bummed I guess. COME TO MONTANA< you guys know you get lots of love here!
This picture is AMAZING. A bunch of us will be at the Chicago show tonight.
Isaac’s pants have a hole in the crotch. this picture makes me want to take a nap.
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!!!!
beautiful photos pat. can’t wait for merriweather
“This is just writing”, and so are your lyrics and my words, but your words have changed my perception of life, creation, and beliefs. I appreciate every song I have ever heard from you guys, and I am soooo stoked to see you soon. You are playing the songs I always knew you would, Thank you
and thank you for dedicating a lot of your life to your music, because if it were not for your music and words, I may not be as happy as I am, and I could be unaware of the Universe. Thanks so much, and thank you Pat for doing exactly what I wish I could do, traveling and photographing Modest Mouse!!
You will always be a highlight and tune in my mind.
pure sex on the rocks. thank you.
Sweet view!
Got enough cheeseheads there, Isaac? I didn’t know you could buy anything in Wisconsin at 4am, let alone a half-dozen cheeseheads.
Yes. Good choices. I have the same hat myself.
Is it just me, or is Ike the absolute coolest guy around?
I’ve noticed someone has a crazy hat fetish, ha.
Modest Mouse likes cheese.. hehe
I’m surprised only two people got hurt that night. One girl who slipped and got unconscious, I hope she’s ok. And Isaac who WOULDN’T stop falling, I’m sure he’s fine.
hahahaha what a random 4 am buy. =]
I wish you guys would come back to the House of Blues in LA. I’m sure it was small but we loved you. We throw shows down here if you ever feel the urge to travel south. We have a twilight bash in Halloween, and I KNOW FOR A FACT! Everyone would love you. Oh wells. Thanks much for changing our lives here.
Oh.. my..god.
Uh..oh.. Is Sean your Warden or something? lol
sexy
awesome pic
You guys did an EXCELLENT job in Chicago. I’m flew in from Oklahoma just to see you and loved every minute of it. Hope to see you again sometime soon.
everyone sportin’ the post game face, then there’s jeremiah doing the fuckin’ robot. what is up?
its cool you guys can do no harm
yeah but everyone got pelted with ping-pong sized hail
which hurt…a lot
but it wasall worth it
yeah i saw the girl fall. she hit her head on a steel rail
TEXAS! I’d prefer Houston
Nice pic guys, i wish you come to perform in Mexico City someday…
Really, best 45 minutes of my life. Some guy working for the United Center gave two girls in front of us front row tickets though. God I would have loved that. So me and Matt went to beg the guy for another pair, but we had to watch from the third deck. Sounds shitty huh? Nope, still the best 45 minutes i’ve experienced. Thank you Isaac Brock. And damn, i need to get a hold of King Rat.
last night’s show ROCKED. the intensity was there. great show.
I agree with post 6, that was one of the best times I’ve ever had, even though I was in one of the really high boxes. I can’t wait until they return, hopefully for a longer show. It pretty much made my summer (though, technically, I am not out of school yet…).
the most coolest guy ever!!!
mice eat cheese!!!
vengan a tijuana!!!
no, no to Mexico City, to Tijuana please!!!
hehehe “driving to cincy and flying to okie ..tomorrow”
Fondue anyone? Hot cheese on a hot mouse — yummy
The lonesome cheesy north…
Hey Guys… Thanks for stickin with us at the show in council bluffs… i have seen you 5 times previous to this show and was extremly happy that you ended up playing through our endless storm braving devotion to you… i know that you did not get to play your entire set but was extatic to see tou play various old favorites of mine such as trucker’s atlas and wild pack or family dogs… as always you aknowledged that the omaha/council bluffs crowd has an undying appriciation to you and all of the music that you have created over the years. i am definately looking forward to the next time you come through our neck of the woods…or should i say cornfield. Keep on rockin!!!!!
If you drive one of those to Tulsa Oklahoma… I’ll throw down for beer…
you guys rock, thanks again for traveling and creating musical waves that fill the air with curiousity and grooves
Fuck yes! Necessities of life!
that cat is fucking huge. It is LITERALLY the size of Isaac’s torso….
the spaceship has landed
i want one of those!!!!!!!!!!!!
they look so fuckin pretty, really.
nice job guys. congrats!!
That is cool. Congrats!
Had a great time in Chicago and thanks for getting the posters signed.
I have to say…Hell of a show. I am too super happy that you guys stuck around. I have seen you before and been to countless shows…and this show is topping the list of ultimate favorites. Thanks for playing a great show and keep coming back to the area. We appreciate it. Thanks again….keep on keeping on!
Looks like Jeremy was cloned.
Come to California again…I missed you last time :’(
Beautiful job boys, your set was amazing, can’t wait until your next return to T.O.
congradulations you guys earned it!!!
yay! you guys dont’ seem the smiling type..
See ya guys on Wednesday! Pretty freaking excited
Congratulations, Boys!!!
hey please please please come to San Antonio Texas. You guys are huge down hear and we need some love. You guys have no idea how much love for modest mouse this area has for you. im almost too into modest mouse. please come.
I believe Modest Mouse should do another “Side- Ugly Casanova” thing or get back with them and make another mind blowing self changing album. just an opinion. I have seen them live about 6 times now within 4 years, and I love them to death, they remind me of my brother the most who died of a car accident. wierd but it works…
i think isaac got a hair cut. Looks nice! im pissed i have to miss ur concert in florida.
Yay! Awesome, what a show that was last night! I loved it. Haha!
and with that said, Thank You
Congrats!
Bad ass!
CHEESE HATS!!!!!!!!!!! I AM OVERCOME WITH JEALOUSY
in the vecinitiy of the outer spacians…
FROM THE TOP OF THE OCEAN!!!!
nobody deserves it more
does anyone know how much the new poster is and can i get it at the concert?
that’s absolutely adorable.
Ike looks like such a rock star in this shot
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
canadians say ‘eh’
You all have to come to Louisville, KY please!
Everyone I know is in love with you guys and I’d definitely be there.
Let him wear whatever he wants to wear.
DUDE I LOVE UR TATTOO!!!!!
KOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!
Yes.
Hey speaking of….
You guys gonna do ACL again any time soon?????
brockielockiewhat???? jesus, i love him!!!
f’ing hysterical
Yeah so play that song at your consert and amaze the crap out of everyone.
Ha ha, cute.
I Love that movie!!!
“You saved me from the giant barracuda! But look, I salvaged the treasure! We can live like kings! WE CAN LIVE LIKE KIIINGS!”
Best movie ever.
How funny!
Nice Guitar.
Those expressions are classic!
LOL..Eric and Jeremiah look petrified!
creepy, yet normal
touché!
boy oh boy oh boy.. If I wasn’t scared before I am now! I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard in a while (we’ll except me and Leanne’s mishap with the hotel bed in Chicago this weekend~long story)
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!
no no no, la cura de estos tipos, son unos reyes!!!!
I love that face, but what is up with tats?
i am probably going to have some sort of nightmare-ish dream about this picture.
Oh my whatever deity that you want to enter here,
THIS MOVIE SOMEWHAT FORMED MY ADOLESCENCE.
“I only see one Lebaron, are there two Lebarons??! I am going to make you proud daddy…
Proud….
PROUD…
…
GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Classic flick yall.
The sun cometh and goeth…but Modest Mouse will always remain!!!!
As awesome as the tats are…I could not help but to be distracted by the fighting polar bears in the background.
Um…Sorry…Did not notice the guitar!
rock on
I am interested in knowing if the sail ship that says “marry me” was for a reason, if so, that’s pretty clever and awesome.
Another perfect photo….breathtaking.
Haha. Might as well get a tattoo of a shirt on your front.
Haha. I love the reactions. Joe’s in love with the film, Eric is creeped out and Jeremiah’s confused
So beautiful.
Wow! amazing photo, Pat!
Fighting polar bears – how funny! Anyway, love the tats. What’s with Marry Me?
I was there!! First time I have ever even heard of MM but they were fantastic… better than R.E.M. (who I came to see to begin with)! I even bought their cd during lunch! Great band!
wow, sounds nice! like in a trance. Like it.
I’ve seen MM several times (around Md.) over the last 4+ years. Kimba and I are gettin’ ready to check them out tonight @ Merriweather. Awesome venue… can’t wait. Their playing with a band whose name means “Rabid Ear Monument” (or something like that). Just foolin’ – REM is cool… unfortunately we can’t stick around for their whole set.
I plan on posting the set list here after the show. Not sure why but I can never find their set lists posted anywhere. Then again perhaps I’m not really looking.
Here’s to drinking away the part of the day that you can not sleep away (greatest freakin’ lyric ever written!!!)
so hot
Damn it was hot there!!!!! The music was great. Love you guys.
Too much gore – and not enough of a plot in that movie, (imo)
Was there, absolutely amazing!
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.
what the fuck is goin on here?
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!
Why isnt Kansas City on your tour? Im dieing to see you guys in concert.
Pretty sure the fighting polar bears are from Isaac’s label: Glacial Pace Recordings. Check it. How do you get a T-shirt?
This is a beautiful shot. I love your pictures.
I want to learn to take a picture like this. The angle/perspective is great!
This one is so lovely…it makes me want to head for the hills.
God damn it. why do they play the shitty parts of FL
Come by Tampa
Cool picture, I like the reflections.
that’s an awesome photo. the reflections are beautiful as well as the image itself.
Nice, keep up the good work.
See you,
Steve
Great job at Merriweather!
awesome photo
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..
hey, great pic man, i love the way you got his holey pants in the background.
I suggest getting a couple boxes of Nerf Dart Tag. The Nerf guns shoot like 25-30 feet. My only major complaint is there is no back to the vest. Otherwise, I think that might add to your fun.
Get your asses back to Oregon. We love you. Show in Bend rocked. Please come back to Oregon and play “All Night Diner”.
Man Man:
somewhere, Tom Waits is thinking, “awesome”
These great pics should be made into a book. I love them. I didn’t see a ball in any of the shots, though.
Hows about a show in Oklahoma City?!?!?!
hahaha looks like damn good fun..and ya’ll making a mess as usual!
And you know I was pretending to play baseball just a state away…sept mine was on the porch…and the living room….i found this blue broom stick handle and just when swingin…were you guys wathing me or something?
I LOve you and I’m drunk on wine. I wanted to tell you…that I spend the hot summer nights listening to the lonesome crowded west..in my 1986 dodge ram van..and its brown..it used to be a church van…keep rockin brother…i dont want to be a mother.
soon to meet you again
cheers tarah
please please…keep on making music. your lyrics are the source of a cross word puzzle.
Head SOuth…Head SOuth….Head South…Head South
is that what this means?
well if isaac is trying to tell me something…i get the point.
but whats South…whats South?
Take me out to the ball game… make me some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with beer.
lovvve that movie
I love the plaid shirts!!!!! modest mouse is bringing them back
damn I’m glad everyone is okay.. lightning is nothing to mess with but seems you guys just can’t get away from it as of late. nice about ya’ll keeping playing..surprised alot of folks
nothing better!
I was right by the strike about 15-30 feet away and let me tell you there was nothing cooler than getting struck by lighting while listening to modest mouse.
yeah, i was there. it was amazing, but it pissed me off that your set was cut down. i couldnt believe it…
eric, are a u neat freak? thats a neat suit case!
Isaac your the man
come(back)to europe this summer.
ah, nice bike there. was this taken at jones beach too?
Come to Canada more! Western Canada! Please
i love it
That’s my bike!!
yeah i was at jones beach when the lightning hit that was crazy. what songs were on the rest of the set that weren’t played?
that lightning was so crazy! it lit the place up so much that it looked like it was daytime for a few seconds. i was really upset that they couldn’t finish the set.. i wonder what the setlist was gonna be – i’d like to see it so i can cry over what we missed out on.
This picture rocks. Love the water in the background.
wow hes riding a pink girl’s bike!THATS COOL! but im still wondering if he bumed it off some little girl.
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.
estupidas tormentas!!! por k no los dejan tocar??? pareciera k el cielo esta celoso de ustedes!
damn storms!!! why they don’t let you play??? seems the sky is jealous!
Sometimes bad weather follows good people.
i literally laughed out loud when I looked at that!
Wow! That reminds of the time I saw R.E.M. a few years ago and buckets of rain came down, too. Hee- hee. It was raining when all of you were in St. Paul.
BTW, great show, guys.
These pics make me want to quit my day job. I envy you.
That’s sympathetic magic for ya.
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!
Great pictures. Look at the fear on Eric’s face. Glad all of you are safe.
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!!!!!
Thats not Eric – its Isaac
or do they have the same tattoo?
FIre It Up boys! Pat, great shot of Eric. But enough is enough with this weather thing right?
MA

Whale Song

wow man i am definatly with you on that one .. the last time they came to kansas city i was in new mexico
but looking forword to hearing isaac sing with charlie thompson
I heard a bootleg of this show.
I cant express in words about the Whale Song. It’s a dark lullaby that you can groove to. Its like… Dramamine-Bukowski-and Mechanical Birds, only its mechanical whales all mixed into one.
You guys are geniuses. Cant wait to see you in Rostraver and Cincy.
oh thats great. thats my fuckin van sept shorter…and i want mine painted nice sparkle black or something..since its like my cadillac.
Adorable. Drive it back to LA.
That’s amazing! You’re great, Johnny.
Is that a glittery robot in front of the heart?! This is the greatest thing I’ve seen in a while.
you guys should come to toronto!
wow…. i think im in love
ist zehr gut! 9 to 10, old to new + new one. talkin’ shit about a pretty sunset? polar opposites? what’s up? i used to skateboard in there. wife loves johnny.
I enjoy this picture. It’s the three guys who have been in it since day one.
Domo Arigato,Mr.Roboto….The van is exquisite
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAT!!!!!
HONOR & GRANNIE ARE MAKING CAKE & HAVING A TEA PARTY WITH BUTALOONS. PRUE’S HAVIN DOUBLE CREAM.
xom,h,p & grannie
I love these photos. The way they progress to a more intense shot. Awesome to hear they played the Whale Song.
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!!!
pimp that shit
I missed the Whale Song, it was so hot in there I almost passed out. Thank you Ed Frost, Rochester EMS for the water and kind care. May I suggest your roadies get some Big (electric) fans for your EXTRAORDINARY band and adoring fans? Thank you, can’t wait to see you again in Pittsburg (Rostraver) and Cincinnati. I’ll tank up first. Love you photos Pat!
come to the lone star. I’ve been waiting my entire adolescence, and I’ll be damned if another lifetime favorite disappears before I get to see em’ live. in person. do it
i started humming that man man anthem when i saw this pic….la la la la…dodoo do…dodo do…1 2…1 2..or whatever…and at the end the battle ends with a laser gun.
Ha, they match!
that was a nice way to break up the set changes.
loved it. <3
How cool is that!
I wanna be there
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!!!
I’m a sexy bagpiper!!!
if thats really isaacs van…id shit myself. thats hip as hell. god i love modest mouse
you have no idea how excited i was about this show when i got the email this morning. Couldn’t eat or anything. I was all on top of my shit too, on ticketmaster.com at like 11 am, waiting. I had my three reserved and the fucking site told me my credit card info was wrong and then booted me. Last year’s show at the pool was amazing.
it’s really cool of you guys to do this tonight, too bad scalpers scooped up tickets musicheads could’ve gotten.
anyway, you guys write songs like a motherucker.
and the population is you.
lookin forward to the outside show on the beach in st. augustine. please play stars are projectors!!
I bought one when I went to one of there recent concerts with R.E.M. and The National. It’s pretty fucking awesome. I also bought a shirt!
I effin love you guys,
but scalpers affectivly reuined this opportunity this amazing opportunity to see your bitchin’ band
catch ya next time.
Apparently I was one of the lucky few to snag a ticket.. I cannot WAIT… thank you guys for doing this shit… I couldnt afford tixx to see REM
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.
As instructed, I came on out. Loved it. Can we hang out again before you go down South? Thanks!
i only saw one scalper outside the venue, they didn’t affect anything. there was less than 500 tickets available through ticketmaster, what do you expect?
the show was awesome despite so many people complaining all over the internet about it and even at the venue when they couldn’t bum a ticket off of anyone. it did take a lil while for things to start but other than that, thanks for the great time!
I was there and ran like a little girl when the lightening struck, I was about 20 yards from it… scary shit
that’s a whole lot of minds listening to you
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!!!
What’s with the age limit? Come on, man. The MSG show was great, but I could barely see you, and you didn’t play long enough. Not by a long shot
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.
Come play the new Nokia theater in downtown Los Angeles! That would be great!
hey ATHFguy how much was it?
YOU GUYS SUCK no, just kidding, it was cool.it was cool you guys changing songs without stopping and on three different cds.i’ve never seen that but i’ve only been to 7 concerts.if you guys are gonna play out some music you should play number 5 on the purple cd.i love the music.(orlando show)did that feel good beating yourself with your guitar Isaac?isn’t that the ultimate high when you’re playing!?i’m gonna learn how to play the drums and try to get into a garage band.i wanna sing but i can’t and girl bands suck.music is my calling in life!later
My friend was there, i really wish i went. Nice picture of Eric, his face is priceless.
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.
BILL!!!!!!!!
Hanging with R.E.M. is a good thing.
that show was fucking kickass. the bagpipes were sweet
Great picture. Bill Berry is a great drummer.
Play Houston!!! Do it!!!!
Reminds me of Steam Engenius when he says the beating heart of a robot
When I listen to albums Bill Berry dummed on like “Murmur” and “Chronic Town”, I think of MM because the band rocks out but is aware of the audience and truly technically good at the same time. This picture shows how nice everyone is! Farm hands, ha ha, as Bob Dylan said “Keep your hand on that plow, hold on”…
Nice!
Wish you could have played a longer set in Atlanta.
hottness, nothing better then tom in a gold. are those some big ass nugs or um…. yeah nm
I see some Green…
yo can I hit that?
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!
that shirt is gold
CHECK OUT THE GOOMIES. THEY SOUND LIKE THEY WERE GROWN OUT OF ISSACS BUTT IN THE LATE 90′S
Check out a review of this performance with Blurt Magazine!
Thanks so much for the great show last night! You guys were rockin! I am excited for the Myrtle Beach and Norfolk shows! Please play Teeth
ohh that looks so GROSS! I never was a P&J kid..so yeah..yuck
PB and J? Grilled cheese?
oh wow. thats real.
its like the man man video of spider cider
Palm Trees. Lovely.
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..
\\
Reminds me of Camber Sands circa 2000
thats great
Oh my god, hahahahhahahaha!
This made me laugh so hard, druggies, jeeze XD XD XD
I have waited years for MM to come back to FLA — and had to miss the orlando show at the last minute for the kid’s Little League game…now I am depressed. They lost 7-2…it rained all night…and I missed my favorite band (but I still have a radio!).
What a great picture.
wow this one is realy nice. i love how dark the colors are.
well done pat
oh look a hang out spot for serial killers. sweet
WOW! that gives off a creepy feeling but the hue of the lights and the sunset are a perfect match.. Beautiful sundown and photo!
Omb Nice.
That Pretty Damn Cute.
the concert was awesome!!thanks guys.oh, it was cool i got to say hi to Tom after the show.had to get one of your guy’s attention!!
Wow… I never knew JMG looked so much like Jesus. Awesome.
Glad he still does that.
wow wow wow <3
I see that dank.
Good job boys.
finally an old skool (ish) pat shot – a wider angle might have been nice, damn digital…
I saw this show at Hard Rock Live. Killer show. I had been waiting to see them for years now! Great photo, Pat. I love the duotone and composition.
I’m pretty sure that truckers atlas needs to be filmed for historical records. all on you mr. hurley, i can’t fucking keep still, camera gets a-wobblin
ha ha ha
king isaac !
I think this is what we all came here to see. Isaac Brock playing huge guitars in a fountain.
Gold.
haha, like a child in a candy-shop
wow great photo!
So….. who’s Pat Graham and how do we (me and Kassi) become him??
I second that harmony. Isaac… marry us?
http://www.patgraham.org
…no information on how to become him though
thats where the shirt ended up
When will the “GREATEST BAND EVER” grace the city of Chicago again. I need to know to keeping living.
looks like your in some old school star trek episode. right on brother.
This is hilarious, and I’ll never be able to look at this fountain the same way again. Wow, if he ever happens to visit Disney’s Music All Star hotel, I can only imagine him scaling the giant guitars there: http://www.gratur.com.br/disney/img/allstar3.jpg
Although, this looks more like a splendid field day to me. Awesome shots, indeed!
What FUN! Isaac means “he makes me laugh” … and so he does. Pat you are incrediable MA
that’s awesome.i walked by that fountain the night after the concert.
my son loves to walk around in there.it’s so cool to know you guys were here.it’s so cool to know you guys were in the same place a i was in!!!!!
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.
Where in the world is that wonderful fountain?!
I love this shot, Pat! Did you do any post on it?
It’s the King of Brock Fountain
i need to buy this!
Man, that’s great. “He makes me laugh” indeed ^^
If you guys figure anything out on the ‘becoming Pat Graham’ front let me know, not only does he get to hang with an awesome band he’s a great photographer too (me not so much… working on that…).
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.
Wow. That’s…. mature. XD
Fuckin hilarious.
I hope that you will make a visit to Halifax, Canada in the near future. Far future is ok too.
my niece has that hannah boogie board…..
cant wait to see you guys in rostraver on monday!!!!
*Applies for job as official preparer of snacks*
I have references!
Pat-
This story was definitely amusing. My husband and I had made some comment about the diet coke and beer being on stage, but the pb&j was definitely stealth. We already thought you were a ninja for sneaking around the amps, and I guess Eric is now in training with you.
Even though I wanted all three, I ordered at least one of your St. Augustine photos so thanks! All of you are always welcome back to Florida, show or not. They should consider signing up for the Rock the Boat tour, because it just seems it would be their forte.
Take care.
I cracked up laughing when I read that! Gotta love Eric
You forgot the American Flag that’s watching from above.
the beaches are overpopulated with “bargain stores” with all kinds of odds and ends with the beaches name all over them. You utilized this window setup perfectly!
hop you all enjoyed your day off
Holy shit, you guys got a picture with Hannah Montana?
..sorry you had to go through that!
Hahahhaha, oh Eric, you and your shenanigans.
Funny story though.
This brings a whole new meaning to the lyric
“I’m the same // As I was when I was six-years old!”
Haha, great story, just like them to ask for snacks during a show ^^ Love the shot.
He will be missed. lol.
I can smell a reality show on the horizon… who wants to drum for Modest Mouse?
It looks like Joe has really lost his head. Somehow I knew you guys couldn’t go to Florida without getting caught up with gators. MA
now the gater has taken over as mister smoooooth
My mom lives nearby that alligator adventure place. I’ll have here keep an eye for remains. Too bad I’m in Ohio
No pictures from the show?? Waaahhh..
I have a serious case of Johnny love, ‘ts all I can say.
lol MATT PALMA you got it!!!!
you forgot bettty bop whos waaaaaay at the top well half of her at leass (WHERE THE FREAK IS THE MODEST MOUSE BOOIGE BORD?????)
Hahahaha! Nice atleast its not as bad as hook and the ol’gator
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!
No No No
I can hear the knight from the Last Crusade in the distance telling Isaac “You have chosen wisely.” Guitars are the new holy grails.
Oh fuck yes. Neely is a god.
JFKKKKK….
What’s he doing here? I’ve seen another picure kind of like this where he’s like screaming into the guitar, what does that do?
Haha. Erid and Johnny finally lived out thier dream, chilling in the hot tub while Isaac plays his banjo and sings.
Looks nice. Where is it?
bring it to Memphis!!!! That would be incredible.
I don’t think that’s a real tattoo of a tux…looks like sharpie. And come on, Isaac’s tats look better quality than that.
FUN!
just everyday in the mouse dressing room
Nothing like the good ole’ banjo.
That’s the hot tub, backstage at the NorVa.
Anyone know where one can find Modest Mouse set-lists?
My boyfriend, Jeff and I were in Myrtle Beach for vacation and happened to be driving past HOB when we both saw “MODEST MOUSE – TOMORROW NIGHT!” Jeff and I freaked out. MM is one of the bands on our “list of bands to see before we die.” We called and there were 13 tickets left. Needless to say we got two. And were both extremely pleased. Modest Mouse is SO awesome in concert. Even if I am really short and all the tall assholes pushed me out of my spot in the front, I still had an awesome time.
Anyway, I’m commenting this picture because I found it ironic. Saturday before Jeff and I left town we made a quick stop at this store. We even took a picture of my brother sitting in the blue chair next to Isaac. I love irony.
i’m livin’ the dream too
best photographer ever
They are the people that they wanted to know and these are the places that they wanted to go
I love it when he plays the banjo!
Everything’s better with bacon or banjo!
please please come to TEXAS we love your band!!!!
Please post more of the myrtle beach show! IT was great!
I totally bought one.
Reasonably priced too. Only $10 at the concert.
With the added bonus of it looking amazing as fuck.
I would pay 5000$ a ticket to see you play a whole set of lonesome crowded west. Come to Pa more often so i can get out of my damn house and do something awesome
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.
My son took me to listen and see you and it was GREAT. Buy your CDs every time I see one I havent heard before. We LOVE Ya’ll in Oklahoma
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.
Aww… That’s So Swee– OoOO! Nuts!
is this the 43rd anniversary of the plummers?.. joe told me and my girlfriend once backstage, last year, that they were married 42 years..and by knowing that….it would be a secret answer to prove that we did indeed meet him. well if it isn’t i’ve just rambled on.
met…im an idiot retard..at times..and an idiot at others.
oh its your lady..didn’t see the love pat
aw man
I was there. It was magical. I came within a foot of Joe Plummer. My life is complete. i can die now… though I’d like to wait til the next time they drop by pittsburgh. once just isnt enough.
I just wish i could have gotten there earlier to hear more of the DDBB. I spent too much time in hooters before hand.
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.
These pics are great! None of the actual show, though? I was there, however i failed to bring my camera.
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?
all five food groups….nice!
do y’all remember when Eric missed part of the tour? ….he was sorely missed, no disrespect to Tom the multi instrumentalist!
None of them defense like me?
Aw, too bad.
(:
A fitting shirt.
I like how he’s acting all strained; Johnny only weighs like 60 pounds.
That is hilarious.
i’ll be kicking myself in the ass for years, i’ve missed you guys when you were right underneath my nose. Your probably tearing Bogart’s up as i’m typing this…god damn
i drove 300 miles to see them in saint louis and i have to say every last god damn second was worth it
thanks MM that concert was the best fucking concert ive ever been to
much love
Hahaha, great shot, thanks pat!
(Also, I heard “Satelite skin” and I almost started crying, ’cause it’s fucking brilliant, though it may not be mouse-esque, it’s still a modest mouse song, and a modest mouse song is better than anything else.. Thanks for being who you are, guys. You’re what keeps me alive some times.)
OH WOW! Where the heck did you get the shirt!!!! i want one! AWESOME MONKEY FACE ISAAC!!!!
HAHA LOOK AT THE THE EXPRESSION ON THE GUY IN THE BACKS FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!
AWWWWWWWW! that’s really sweet Pat!
HAHAHA! no wonder Isaac acted like he didn’t feel good tonight..did Johnny give him a hernia?
sick monkey mouse riding fucks do it some more don’t cha know
King Isaac
NUMBER 1
looks like ike gives the best piggy back rides
Omg.. I love it.. hahaha!!
Thats usually how i get to school.
that was my first concert im 15. and just like you said at the begening of the concert i got my face f***** blown off it was awesome you guys rock
deuce
andrue
anderson
did it hurt Isaac
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.
yes, please post more pictures from that show it was incredible.
HAHAHA! Jesus thats a ton of firepower! we got firepower here right now but guns are going off down below my apt FUN!
Ya’ll have fun I’m going to duck and cover.
Can’t wait till you guys come back to the Northwest…Enjoy the 4th and your break on tour…
Have fun with those fireworks!
That girl obviously doesn’t know who the hell you are.if that was me i’d try to act cool but in the inside i’d be flipping the f out.
i told my friend at the concert you had your eyes wide open for the first 2 songs.-great picture
oh, oh no. oh dear god no. isaac b + explosives cannot be good.
Hope you boys have fun blowin shit up. Again, Tom…. Thank you so much for such an amazing night. We had a blast.
Hell yeah that’s what I’m talking about. Just got some fireworks myself a couple weeks ago.
I was there, too, appreciated the fans (electric). No cameras allowed, security made me put mine back in the car, but thats ok. I’m so glad Pat took lots of photos. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band was good. Nice light show. It seems like a long time since I’ve heard “Tiny Cities Made of Ashes”. Any chance of an extended version on the next album?
Thanks for the blog!
Just don’t get your fingers blown off or anything.
haha let me guess, somewhere in ohio before heading up to michigan for rothbury where the good ones are against the law. We did the same thing heading back to Detroit from Cincinnati for the show at Bogarts… which was great by the way!!
Well That Looks Like…. Fun. I Hate bright Lights. So I Might Hang Out With My Dig To Make Sure He Doesn’t Rip Our Blinds Apart.
wow, that looks like fun, happy 4th o’ july
Gotta love America. Haha!
I’m pretty sure half of that is Illegal in Canada
!!
Have a good time, 4th of July and what not……
Hope you and your wife had a nice anniversary.
you’ll blow your damn hand off. just remember all the things you have to do with hands
Ok I’m probably wrong but that looks just like this one place in Vancouver where everyone in Oregon goes to get their illegal fireworks!!!!
i wouldn’t like to hang around that shop if it ever caught fire.
do you guys plan on doing any small club shows in the seattle or vancouver area now that your tour is done?
Finally some pictures from the live concert. How pat the ninja got that shot without me spotting him ill never know. Come back to pittsburgh real soon. Maybe a venue with better acoustics (though i was close enough to the stage that it wasnt that big of a deal). By the way, the acoustics in my basement are awesome… just a suggestion.
you’re radical man. got some fireworks at the gas station for a couple bucks and they sucked…hope yours were swell.
Did they light them off during the show?
Yay!
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.
Isaac,you sure do know how to celebrate…sorry I missed you guys, keep on rockin’!
Awesome-tastic.
Holy Jesus Batshit! Is Ike firing one out of his shirt in the first pic?
It wouldn’t be a good show unless there were a few near death experiences. Awesomeness. Isaac is fearless.
Ike looks like he is totally in his element there
Isaac defends us once again.
can’t believe it’s over.glad i got to see you guys!!
Lucky you, no hands were lost. Having seen roman candles blow up I say you were lucky, kind of dumb but lucky.
He’s very very stealth!
fucking hell! shooting roman candles at each other is the best!
oh yea..that looks pretty swell to me..i’d probably end up lighting my fro on fire or shooting my face off…you actually put that thing in your shirt..your crazy…but well amusing.
what’s with the hat?
The cig picture is cool.
I ordered this as a 32 x 21 print and it’s beautiful.
Holy Hell. @.@
Shiny…. T.T
I Love The Hat! XD
oh my god that a really fucking tiny stage… i think that would blow my mind
You guys should so come to NZ plz,
We’ll all be your friends.
Haha, 2nd one is real trippy.
AMAZING show! Can someone get me a set list?? My memory tends to fail me… =(
Cool guy. I’m so happy for the close up of isaac tattoo.
Lacoste. How cute
On the jolly green island of Ireland the Mice are terribly arrogant. You know what to do…
Playing guitar without hands is very difficult, but I think Isaac would figure out some way to do it.
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!!
And thus, it ends.
Thanks for the tour, thanks for the music.
Can’t wait until you guys do it all again in a couple years, with a new EP and LP under your belt. New songs, good times.
And enjoy a well deserved rest!
makes me sad
But you all really deserve a break. Thanks for everything!!! <3
Even though I only got to attend one show, I still followed your tour dates. The band deserves to have a nice long break. Thank you so much for the great shows and setlists. And Pat, Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures. I don’t know what I would do without this blog. You guys rock!
cant wait till the next tour. keep em comin’
much love
Thanks for the tour! It was great seeing you guys in NY.
Woot! Your Own Beds! ^^
I’m in this picture!! Ahh!
Modest Mouse, come back to Regina!!
I think a vacation is in order. I hear Australia is nice this time of year.
Just saying…
Bon Voyage Boys Goodbye bus. Ditto what Mathew says. I’m looking forward to whatever you guys do next. You Give Everything!
Bless your souls, you triumphant minstrels, you have move oceans and shaken the earth. enjoy your rest and come back to pittsburgh as soon as possible.
Thanks for the shows, guys, your rest is well-earned.
Great set, thanks for putting so much effort into it. Can’t wait to see you guys again…
Great show at Rothbury! I was raging out in the front row with my mask on! I wish you would post more pictures of Rothbury! I know you got them especially with all those photographers that you guys had there. But anyway, thanks for playing Talking Shit about a Pretty Sunset! I have to say that made my day
Its strange how perfect the lyrics to your songs goes with my life. You guys are awesome! Keep up the amazing music and come back to NASHVILLE!
<3
I am green with envy for those who made it there. At Rothbury, even your deadly sins have to be environmentally correct.
I am dying here, please release some more tour dates. Preferable in Oregon. You guys need to come home and do some laundry anyway.
Hahahhaha “a deranged lumberjack playing banjo”.. that’s Isaac for ya..
WOW look at all the potographers! yall got like a whole freak’in army!
Truckers Atlas GODDAMN!!! please come to switzerland, we have beautiful girlz here!
You guys really earned a break. Fantastic concerts in Florida. Thank You!
Happy birthday, Isaac! Much love.
I was right at front row here also, I ordered the print because this was deffinately a show to remember and it’s an excellent shot. I’m going to frame it with my Rothbury ticket and Johnny Marr’s setlist which I caught after the show. I’m curious though, does Johnny write his own guitar line up on his set lists?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISAAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Lolz Apple.
By Das way, Happy Birthday Isaac.
well that sounded like a good show..good show ol chap
Tom P is a hottie!
Hey frank does your set list have Float on on it because I remember them playing that song but it was not on the set list????
at least the set list that I saw and took a picture of
I can see myself haha awesome. I wish Pittsburgh would book Modest Mouse a venue with better sound. Ice Garden just doesn’t have the capability. However, amazing show.
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
Wonderful pictures, especially the one of Jeremiah and Joe.
Thank you.
Hey Frank, can you post the song list for Rothbury? There was one song they played that I’ve never heard before and i have all their albums so I’m kind of curious what song it was. Thanks
yall should make a live show compilation dvd like a couple songs from each stop of a tour w/ alot of random bonus features or something like that i would watch it as soon as i woke up everyday while smokin a bowl oh what a wonderful day that would be
That above shot of the drummers is awesome.
Jon, I may have been the guy you got the picture from. I was wearing a grey shirt at that point. The line up was
– Bury me with it
– Dancehall
– Talkin’ shit about a pretty sunset
– Education
– Dashboard
– Here it comes
– Truckers Atlas
– Tiny Cities Made of Ashes
– Wild Packs of Family Dogs
– Missed The Boat
– Paper Thin Walls
– Trailer trash/ Satellite Skin
– We’ve Got Everything
– The Good Times are Killing Me
– The View
– Spitting Venom
Even though it’s not on the set list I’m pretty sure they played it.
Sisco, the song you are most likely refering to is Satellite skin. I believe they just started playing it fairly recently, there are videos of it all over youtube.
Frank,was your set list torn at wild pack but not torn all the way through…if so then yes it was the one i got a pic of. also i know they played it because i took video of almost there whole set. the only ones i missed out on were dance hall and trailer trash. I got the whole song of Tiny cities and like 15 to 45 seconds of the rest….
Yeah man, it’s to bad I didn’t check the other setlist I caught. The one you took a picture of was the one I gave to my girlfriend, the one I kept was beautiful. Can you send me the video of Tiny Cities per chance? Because that would be awesome. I can send you a picture of the other setlist if you’d like.
where is the plant??
i love the hat
great show:my first
There i am! Bright green hat front row!
vancouver?
pleaseeeeeeee put pics up from mansfield… thanks
i love this one
Geez Pat, how do you do it? Another amazing shot!
MODEST MOUSE!!!!
P
Rothbury was awesome.
I was that Crazy girl jumping up and down in fron of the gate!!! woohoo
…sleeping.
I’ve got a foil hat just like that. can’t wait until you guys come to cleveland.
brooklyn,ny Indefinately awesome!
what about brazil zil zil ???
any hope for that???
hey, i can see me in the background!
Hahahahha.
Greatest. Picture. Ever.
nice thanks pat
cool video… glad they were shown playing breakthrough
Hahahaha, nice ’stache
this looks awkward…did it feel akward?
you know the t-shirt with the finger nails reminds me of the thought i had the other day…about the first human and how they probably looked like the monsters with their long fanger nails and hairy faces.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS!!!! Sean you´re the best!!!
Great videos Sean! (thanks for posting Pat) It was really great seeing some of the old stuff..
why do they call isaac ike????? why is that dudes arm around him
little motel…………The show in rochester was incredible.
I’ll bet this is the reason that Johnny actually decided to join the band. He gets free piggy back rides.
so that is all the buses and trucks needed for a MoMo tour? Does everyone have their own? Wow. Anyway, hope to see you all again soon.
Those are probably MM’s and REM’s buses. The red trucks on the right look like ones I saw at MSG in NYC. They had papers taped to the inside, (with the orange tape around them), and they said REM.
I’m loving the sly look on Isaac’s face. And that is one hell of a spiffy stache.
Goddamn. That is all.
That is cute. The last part makes me smile.
how thoughtful
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
with that look i can only imagine what brock is thinking. now, dude number 1 isn’t the only guy who can use the line “ever been for a mustache ride??”….
nice touch with the sunglasses and the shoe
that’s an alarmingly large pussy
That’s a good Velvet Underground song!
You guys look really sleepy
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)
How exciting!
Great shot!!
what an awesome show that was.
photo safari?!?! that sounds great. i miss you guys, i want to win a sweepstakes and go on tour with mm.
Finally a pic from Bogarts! Its my favorite venue, though I didn’t make it.
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.
Here is the video I took during rothbury of Tiny Cities made of ashes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sspd4gTaNxU
i like your guitar brother.
that fuckin picture was awesome!!!! hands
man isaac, your guy’s music is so awesome!i know a lot of more people know the words ure sayin but i can’t explain it u guys r just great. ure songs r different. like tool u have so many different ideas, it seams like. ure indepentent. it’s amazing. you have so many different sounds so many different messages.
these stories of not seeing u guys, well i can’t say the same, fortunately!
Wow. What An Incredible Super Power He Has There.
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*
sleepy and sweaty
What a babbbbe.
hey, i went to that show it kicked ass
little baby tres tres still has my machete. Those boys got light fingers.
god that scared the crap out of me!! vile creature
Amsterdam… great show, as always!
This is pretty obligatory.
SO TURN OFF THE LIGHT, IT’S A NIGHT ON THE SUN, YOU’RE HOPELESSLY HOPELESS I HOPE SO, FOR YOU!
My first thought was: braids aren’t for everyone (although handy) then I thought, when something goes outside in the field it gets in harmless thicket also, it is good to be friends with animals, then, it looks like it’s happy or smiling, then I thought, it has observant eyes, then I thought, it is neat its kind can swim and walk. What an icebreaker!
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.
i fucking LOVE modest mouse!!!!is there going to be a tour in montreal anytime soon? it would be so wonderful
tornado training? thats one cool cloud!
UFO!
The wall climbing looks hard.
I’m pretty sure u need to come back to new mexico… soon!!
aweseome!!!!!!!
looks like the cloud is hovering over the van
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
you ar my favorite of all time. send me send me.
looks yummy!
I Love It.
i got one for this pic :”its a long way 2 the top..if you want to rock and roll” yea that was blasting at my telemarketing job today. as i was surrounded by small town delinquents trying to keep my soul alive.
great shirt
Lolz. Yummeh.
Dig The Shirt, man.
King Isaac, No. 1. I have the exact same t-shirt; however, my name is not Isaac and therefore is in no way as ftting as said T-shirt on not said Isaac.
If Isaac’s going to be freaking king, he needs one of those Burger King crowns or better yet a sweet sailor hat like Loftus was wearing when MM was on tour.
nice shirt babe
King Isaac No 1…that makes me laugh.
hehe, nice photo. will you ever come to Poland? i love all your music and want to hear u guys live
Hey guys! when u coming to Mexico?
Oh lordy lou.
Hands down, that shirt was custom made.
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.
Greatest. Shirt. Ever.
great shirt.
that’s funny your shirt says king isaac bc in another comment someone put “king isaac”. my cousin’s name is isaac.
Hey is this martha’s vineyard or in that area? i’m going up their in a week!
Great shirt
to Polish fan : I want too hear Modest Mouse in Poland
maybe on Heineken opener festival on July 2009?:)
That would be great.
Hi guys, I really want you to come back to Red Rocks! Cant wait for your next tour.
Awesome shirt! I should get one like that!
Nice scenery.
isn’t there one of these with eric and a flute or something??
Japan worked so hard to rebuild after WWII. They are amazing. This picture is great, it shows a lot of peace. Those balconies are so ornate.
[laughs]
Yeah… where DID the podium come from?
a mystery…
When you ate it, did it taste good?
mmmmmmm……. IsaacLoaf…. [drool]
love the pic. wish yall would come to Alabama
heart cooks brain… amazing song… probably my favorite album, but its too hard to say.
Blake Wins…! nice one.. Pat
heart cooks brain!!!
Awww….It’s Heart Cooks Brain. One of the best songs ever written!
heart cooks brain?
HEART COOKS BRAIN!!!
Heart Cooks Brain
Heart cooks brain from Lonesome Crowded West. Dah!!
Heart Cooks Brain

Although it’s the song that describes my life, it would be Heart Cooks Brain. Deep down we are all bitter buffalo.
heart cooks brain
It’s heart cooks brain from what I gathered from it upside down.
Heart Cooks Brain. Old photo?
Heart Cooks Brain
Heart Cooks Brain
(I cook ramen)

heart Cooks Brain
Heart Cooks Brain
I win.
heart cooks brain
heart cooks brain
Is that the famous Juan of Juan’s song? I have a live recording of that.
The NorVa show, amazing. Especially the Good Times. Everyone was singing along. That place was packed with true fans
“heart cooks brain” -The Lonesome Crowded West
This was the first song I heard in 2001 or so by you guys (on a Matt Hoffman BMX video), and had no idea how much I would relate and fall in love with your music, sounds, and messages…
After hearing this song, I found the album and had no idea I would collect every single song & cd from you guys…i dived all the way down to your 1994 “Blue caddet-3, do you connect” album…
heart cooks brain
right?
why, heart cooks brain of course
Heart Cook’s Brain baby.
i have a pair of those chucks
awesome its art.
am i the only one that wants to see a weezer/modest mouse tour? by the way, I was able to finally find a copy of LAL Holy. Awsome.
Eric looks like hes having some good ol’fashioned man throwing time
Aw Fuck.
Sounds Fun.
You’ll never know a classier group of gents.
A Rush and a Push and the Land is Ours?
nice junk….should probably wear a cup when participating in human bowling.
STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
…We have a chair exactly like the one Johnny is hiding behind.
Those Columbus crazies deserve a huge eyeroll!
crowd surfing with wedges!? seriously…
i cant tell if she’s excited or horrified that she may not be caught.
Haha! Nice one.
Aw now come on guys its Freebird, how could you be so blind! ..Isaac finally learned it and you killed the love bug! ..now play it backwards!
that girl’s awesome!you should be proud of yourself!

Cheeeeeese HEAD! Wisco Baby!
I totally bought this poster and have it framed on my wall…
yesssssssssss
I would love to hear this song live
That looks like a cool pad. Great pic!!!
who is this, sam fella?
Uhhh….that Ken doll on the right is about to get a cork clog lobotomy.
What happened to his head?
Ugh..Look right here in the Modest Mouse manual. It says, “Isaac Brock shalst not put down guitar ever.”
Isaac’s picture confuses me. Did he break the wall, or something?
OH! He’s wearing a vest. AHA!
that’s an awesome apartment
Seriously? Modest Mouse & Weezer??? That is SO awesome!!!
hell yea love as laughter is the best
simply the best.
What no Andy? Just kidding.
Oh how relaxing you know Isaac sounds a lot like Black Francis talking shit about nothing,talking shit about a pretty sunset very awesome Why doesn’t MM play with the Pixies..what a sick show that would be.
to hear this song live would satisfy me alone.
It’s Isaac and the band Late Of The Pier, no ?
OoOoOo! I Like That One Paintin On Teh Wall With The Craziness!
hometown show? crystal ballroom? its been almost 4 years since those wondrous 5 days……..
Love as Laughter and Modest Mouse..
Epic.
there is a rough draft of the lyrics to this on interstate-8.com and if u want to help me desifer the rest u can find the lyrics on song lyrics.com
hehe he’s so cute, so funny. i fucking love this man.
spare some change?
hey guys. honest—> you rock. come to Los Angeles. we love you.. like a ton. i’ve gotten my friends like hooked on your music. we like your old stufff aaallloottt. errr//yeah. pretty much it. im listening to Modest Mouse now, beeteeedubss/
kk later.
Naomi.
he looks pretty into it. good for him
they were drinking mexican beer, that’s heavy stuff
What a cute picture.
ahh so thats what the famous loftus looks like is he like their manager or somthing?
or the yachtsman
Noice.
Well He Looks Happy.
yeah Johnny strung out of his mind on you know what with HM in Barbados..Think he made up for that in The The! Funny story though
Modest Mouse and Weezer…???
I would say Modest Mouse, Muse, and Radiohead!!!
Now that would be a show!!
i like the website.
its c-l-e-a-n.. and yeahh.
haha.
another reason
you guys are god.
this is wicked.
despite all the.. pain?
jerimiah.
perfection.
DRI is an old punk/hardcore band. They deserve all respect.
Yarrrgh! ‘Tis the captain!
Oh My….. Wow. Fuckin Hilarious.
Ha ha, he actually bought the cheese hats! I hope to see these worn in future shows.
hey guys come visit tucson arizona it will be off the hook
Has a “I won’t hurt you… Let’s go in the bushes” look.
We are very fortunate he survived. Especially since he was carrying all that cheese. I hear those big deer love cheese…
what a cheesehead!!
when do we set sail?
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.
beautiful
Loool. Poor jeremiah, eric and tom.
They have got to put a message saying where you can buy those things. You got to love these guys.
im curious as to what any of this means… and im wondering what shitty movies.
i want to join!!
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!
wait..beer fest made the list?! I thought it was banned a long time ago! I just watched it on a long bus ride a few weeks ago..field trip to a casket factory..nice!
I’d of voted for Super Troopers, Slither and Knocked up
Oh lawd was Slither bad.
This is a wonderful sight to see; Modest Mouse going through a plethora of funny yet very cheesy Hollywood comedies; other than I suppose Knocked Up wich is actually a pretty good film in general. How does one become a Brockie Academy Member exactly?
I find it very funny that Isaac Brock is a big Beerfest fan; and not in any condescending way.
number 4 better not be dude where’s my car
HOT ROD IS THE BEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
i hope that the “tensions on the rise” is a joke and that the friendships are healthy and vibrating with love
I hope all of you are enjoying life!
FREDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! <3
I am confused, but hey, this is modest mouse, so i don’t really care. Confuse me til no end, please.
what about superbad, that was awesome. the benchwarmers was very cheesy too
Oh you poor dears.
haha, this answered my question. those are pretty good movies! especially beer fest, reno 911, and knocked up.
OoOoOo! Lovely Violin.
what school let you watch beer fest on a field trip, a school that takes u to a casket factory i guess. i didnt no they had casket factorys i never thought about it before that sounds cool!!!!!!
yeah, I truly and sincerely hope that its not dude where’s my car. That movie blew on every single level. Hell, its a stoner movie with no weed! WHAT THE FUCK!
Excluding that film, there is certainly something to be said for watching cheap comedies while high.
dude you guys fucking rule my daad died but i diddnt play float on i hope he isnt mad at me ; [
I’d like to recommend some of my favourites for next year’s Brockie festival.
1/ The Parent Trap (original version, 1961)
2/ Tetsuo II: Body Hammer (1992)
3/ The Adjuster/ L’Expert en sinistres (1991)
4/ Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970)
5/ Smooth Talk (1985)
It’s one of the best promises anyone could ask for! : )
Amazing As Fuck? =o
That’s Pretty Damn Amazing!
Happy Mondays were an incredible mess …but so much fun. Johnny Marr does a great Shaun Ryder imitation!
Lol, Sir Isaac Brock. thats a real person too. Isaac Should totally wear that to a show.
I like Billy Childish too.
cool picture
Nice!!!
stiff animal fantasy
so thats what happened to billy the badger… can i have him back?
jk i like his house!!!!!
I love this
Eh, gotta do the laundry.
Oh My Gaaaaawwwdzz! Badger! XD
Lolz doind laundry sucks. my makes me do it sometimes. I had to do it today to.. *face palm*
You know, JG is just that cool that he actually likes to do his laundry.
It’s nice to see a brand new member of the band doing the weirdest things with the rest of ‘em.
I’m sorry but…That was the best youtube video i have ever seen.
Indeed. He is.
JG is an expert in the ancient art of laundry origami.
Well thats awsome you guys should make your way DOWN SOUTH!!!!!!!!!!
WHENEVER POSSIBLE
fuckin A CANT WAIT TILL THE NEW ALBUM DROPS
I know Isaac was born the 9th cause my birthdays the 8th so its easy to remember.
who’s Adrian?
Well, this confirms the presence of a new MM record! Hope they try some new stuff/themes, Marr definitely adds to the band’s new sound.
I do miss the discordance of their old stuff, however.
Folding laundry in st Paul
can’t think of anything better
then the fresh smells
of flannels and sweaters
The norva show was great. A backstage hot tub! wowza.
i was at my uncles beach house and he wanted to take my for a walk to find shells so i thought it would be cool to put jeans on so i told him “bet im the only person on the beach in jeans” aparenty not.
I’m glad JG likes to do laundry, cause I don’t!!
this is my favorite picture of this band so far if you look close enough u can isaac’s beard, but thats not why i like it, i like the lights!
sory pat… i just wana know when the ep is coming out. YAY I LOVE JOHNNY!!!!!! he gives a cool effect and he seems to get along well with the rest of the band.
I really hope that song they played in Canada is on they’re new record. I think it was called Jaw Breaker. I loved it!!!!
God Pat, why can’t I have a gift? Again, a stunning photo!
great photo :] glad to see they are back doing what they do best
i thought you guys were resting…no
wow brilliant lighting in this pic!
Ha! They’re playing Dashboard. I can tell by Johnny’s finger placement.
Behold, The Magnificence Of A Bassist. =o
he doesnt usually use a tele for dadhboard does he?
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.
FINNALY I GET TO SEE THIS PICTURE!!!!!!
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.
jesus christ that had to have sucked…but you know you pulled through some how. big ass scary van….me too got the old 86 dodge ram van at the moment…till i got the money to trade it in. oh the different time life chutes the world has put us thru
@ Adam Young.
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
Wow. That looks almost identical to the hat I wear in marching band.Except mine has a plume.
hey MM come to Poland, many of yours fans are here
We’re still waiting. Come for Opener Festival (www.opener.pl)
Greetings
From poland
HAHAHA Great!
He’s probably wherever jeff Mangum is.
i am waiting for this “Bag Face” to scream “I AM A DRAGONFLY!!”
are u planning some tour in Europe? if so, please visit Poland. i’m dying to see u guys live, but i don’t have money to go to USA or Japan :p i know that u were in Berlin last year, but i wasn’t your fan then.. please, visit us.
=o
Looks Like Dr. Salvador…
lulz
it’s easy to save what the cannery pays, cause there ain’t no way to spend it
yeah i don’t think any real fan believed that crap. i love marr in the band and i’m sure he does too. thanks for that pat
I absolutely love this picture! I’m a big Pearl Jam fan and to have Eddie sitting and talking to my favorite band just thrills me to death. Wonderful picture.
This is a great shot. You should include when, where, what time it was shot.
Were Is Eric In this one?
P.S Hi Leanne!
I believe this picture was taken at the Mann Center in Philly on June 18, 2008 because Eddie was in town for a Pearl Jam concert and he came out and did a song with R.E.M. If someone can confirm that, that’d be great. This picture means a lot to me if it was in fact taken that night. As my friend and I were leaving the concert we walked right by the tour buses and I was convinced I saw Isaac in the window in the back of the bus holding a cigarette out the window. So we stood there in awe for like 5 minutes staring at the silhouette, then we got hungry so we grabbed some cheesesteaks and went home.
“Apples are natures apparatus”
just a great photo right here, thanks for the glimpse pat
ok, so yes the pic is great but what is even better is the green apple bowl and small jar of weed the half person is holding…nice shit there!
EPIC. Two of my favorite singers chillin’ out together.
bitchin…
session
Who ever mentions Jeff Mangum nomatter what they say is amazing and why he dosent make anymore music i will forever ask…
I agree with Leanne.
I fucking love this.
What Is Isaac Doing?
haha, weres Waldo?
what airport is this at?
he should have a sign that says something like, “ya just keep walking..”
next time im in an airport im doing that
It Looks Like Someone Did A Terrible Job At Hiding A Bodie. =o
O’Hare, right? I was there a few weeks ago. I love riding the train that goes to remote parking.
There are some good sleeps to be had under those chairs…
what is tom holding?
Will we get any new news on the ep? I think I remember reading they were trying for september… an update would be awesome.
shinklefinks
Well i’m glad someone put to words my experience EVERY TIME I see MM
It kinda looks like a massive dust bunny.
I saw modest on 3/19 in Fargo the night before We were dead came out. Me and my friends waited in the van outside playmakers all day and I ended up FRONT ROW, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ISAAC. As kick ass as that already is, I remember yelling “Isaac Brock for president,” in between songs. He looked at me, laughed, and said “No man, you wouldn’t want that. I’d be stealin’ from the company.” Isaac in true form. I’ll never forget it.
okay now that is scary!! he looks like he’s just had a bit of an insane streak..great photo though
theres a fuckin nut on the plane!…oh its tom peloso. he rocks
is it a sock puppet that resembles an octopus?
Lovin The Face. =o
Tom is such a cutie. I love the pic of him at the Murat Indianapolis, shaving….super sexy.
How Does Johnny Manage To look So Awezome All The Time?
Any news or details on the new MM album?
pLEASE TELL ME WHERE DID U READ SEPTEMBER is was on thr wikipedia and thats what it said but it could be false right?
HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP!!!!! SEPFUCKINTEMPER 25 untitled moudest mouse EP will be found in your local music store , (pitchfork magizien) this website has been hiding it from us all along.
Modest Mouse Please be sure to make your way back up through Chicago and Milwaukee and Madison because i really enjoy watching you guys live super drunk
haha i love the mysterious hand to the right. i wonder whose hand that is O.o
They better be deciding on what cover the EP is going to have. I can’t wait much longer… argg!
And whose claw is that coming from the side?
no wonder why he is so amazing at guitar.. hes got a robot hand
You can still at least play the guitar, right?
Enjoy your rest.
peace.
nO SMOKE ONLY MIRRORS?
haha…yeah thats hilarious…fuckin made me laugh…dwarf in texas and a robotic hand… could you be a cyborg with stubby fingers?
I’d celebrate Joe Plummer Day.
where were you at???
could it be mexico?
That explains so much…
Dear Sommer, (who has been to SEVEN CONCERTS)
you SUCK!
-Madison
Dear Modest Mouse,
Please go on tour again, and play songs from Long Drive and Lonesome/Crowded and The Moon and Antarctica and not We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank, which is what was played at the one and only show of yours i’ve been to (where I almost lost my voice screaming DO THE COCKROACH!!! to no avail) And more specifically, please come to Victoria BC, that would be best for me, because I am a starving student. But if you could come anywhere within a 1,000 mile radius that works too. I missed you guys in Deer Lake Park and am STILL complaining about it..
Or you could put out another album, pretty sure that would be better than ten christmases. christmasses? whatever. I would probably cry for joy and have to take a week off work.
anyways.. Best band on the planet, I mean it. Seriously!
-Madison
Wow…just wow.
great photo!
well now heres the view..
HOLY CRAP i didnt know that many people liked modest mouse can you get one to my friend i dont have any friends who like modest mouse
alright i dare someone to count all the people in this photo
i agree this picture i missing the damn plant!! that was the best part!!
great show though…. but it wasn’t my first….. more like my 10th..
awwwww
Modest Mouse! ever wonder what Maine was like? Wanna come over? I’ll make some wiked good food…
WOW!!!! One hell of a crowd right there!!!!
Well…
There is me and my friend. That’s two…. ;P
i love it when you guys come through mpls!
‘I’m going up, going over to montana. You got yourself a truckers atlas’ – don’t forget about us
Im anticipating the new EP, enjoy the time off! But if you guys tour again please hit up DFW or Austin. Thanks for the awesome tuneage!
Is that fucking levitation? I knew MM was magic.
I remember watching that shaker drop from the ceiling during Dashboard in Cincinnati and loving it. Could they not fit one more shaker onto either of the two drum sets?
When I saw you guys at the Download Festival I remember being impressed that with that thing being tossed back and forth I didn’t see it dropped once.
they threw one as well in myrtle beach, but I’m pretty sure that this picture was in cinncinnati because of the roofing in the background…
eddie looks upset… love pearl jam tho seen them twice live
IM FEELIN MM/PJ TOUR
anyone whos with me say “i”
i have that maraca set too!! haha i’m like a 5 year old. chill…
I’m in the same boat as Mechanical Bird.
my favorite song next to Teeth on the Lonesome Crowded West.
ah yes crow time….good one fellas…you know i like that fiddler peloso…i want one..
nice! great decorations and Tom looks great with a beard
This was a brilliant show thanks to a great photographer and great band!
Yeah come to Poland on Heineken opener festival 2009
Tom looks like House in this picture!!!!! lovin all the pillows
whats new for modest mouse?
Ya know… that crow photo reminds me of a movie I once saw. The horror was unbelievable. I think it was simply called, “The Birds.” They ate people!! And plucked out their eyeballs!!! Horrific, but Terrific.
wow, such a cool room…
Is this where you guys hang? What happens here?
Jeez, Tom just needs an infarction in his leg, and he’d be Dr. House.
I Like Joe’s Shoes.
Please come to Montreal !
hahaha i love the look on Joes face. i might have to put a caption on that using Microsoft Paint
happy 1st year of being posted, i went to party city today and saw the exact same mask so i bought it. when my sister came home i opened the door for her and scared the living shit outta her. MUHAHAHA!!!!!!!

rhinestones… he is going to be a big star!
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

Thank you modest mouse!
We should be saluting you.
That was such a great show! Teeth!!!!
Aahhhhh… my favorite pass time. I’ll lay on the grass and watch space pass with you, Isaac.. <3

“Down is the new up”
Oh my God i know these guys !
PEACE FROM ABEL
Oh Isaac! You are terrific
god…so true.
that is hilarious
lol, oh Isaac
Haha, I love it!
Woah I thought that was a slip-n-slide.
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.
haha wow thats great.
i laughed harder at the response suggestion.
and p.s.
issac is extra terrific.
dont forget the other one ..WHats moby dick’s dads name?… A: Papa Boner…im sure everyones ones prop heard that one before.
im going to tell that joke in class tomarrow for shits and giggles!!!
Oooo, that’s very pretty…nice one Pat!
i’m really excited for this stuff. keep us up to date.
My favourite instrument
painting a pattern with the image that is seen according to a signature is really a great thing to be reminded of!
wow that symbol has had a lot of abuse
I was there in Reno drinking beer front row at the feet of greatness!
The joke was weird and disturbing but the whole ‘Everybody: Oh Isaac! You are terrific’ thing made me laugh like crazy~~~!
This is from Deer Lake Park; right? I was there!
Joe the Plummer.
Cute picture.
Oh very cute
I look forward to hearing something that you & Coby have worked on in beautiful Nelson County – we almost moved there but decided on the other side of the mountain in Staunton. I took my daughter to see MM in C’vlle for her birthday (a teen now – yikes). The show was fantastic and you looked like an adorable Pied Piper leading all the children to the tour bus.
Oh boy
Or a long drive with something to think about: get some gloves. That must have been miserable.
haha does this have anything to do with the presidential debate with Obamas speech??
xD
He’s fucking killing for fun
COME TO HALIFAX, i saw you in MTL last year, the band was amazing
Go Tom! Man I’d love to hang with you guys again sometime.. this growing up and settling down business sucks.
Bout a year or so ago I found a King Sour CD “nipple” in the CD bin at Cash Converters in Va Beach.. very surreal flashback..had to shell out a buck for it… forgot to demand they send you guys a royalty check.
hey tommy
nice to see ure doing great. i watched your video the other day on utube
—-cool.xxxx manda
Can’t wait to hear it! Keep rockin Tom! Check out my tunes on myspace under Uncle Evil!
So glad you are still creating…Think about you often. All the best to you Tom.

Have a good break. Madison is a nice city.
awesomeness!
that becks beer!! crazy awesome statue
hey Tom, I’ve been keeping up a bit with your continued musicianings, glad it has all panned out. I keep thinking about the Breadwinner +/or Mao Tse Helen and King Sour shows we used to do together, particularly at Kings Head Inn in Norfolk hahaha. rock. if you need a drummer for a tune I’m here.
this will fit in so well with the inappropriate conversational jokes I regularly tell at work! thanks isaac
When are they going back on tour?? I need some mouse. NYC!
Absolutely wonderful colors!
Live from NEW YORK, it’s MODEST MOUSE!!!
Oh Isaac! You are terrific
awesome photo! I like that pumpkin tattoo!

Ha, cute pumpkin tattoo. Very festive.
oodly enough I did the same thing when I came home from tour…but in a modest mouse shirt…
Roflmao! That’s A Good One.

GOOD GOD HONUS HONUS IS SEXY!!!!!!!
i too laughed at the faces particularly at the one right in front of isaac.
Man Man and Modest Mouse should tour together again
absolutely incredible combination! I hope you all are healthy, happy, and enjoying your time at home! I hope to hear some news on the new album! Pat, Thanks for keeping up on the photo entries 
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!
I Dig That Couch.
GASP! LOTS O’ BEVERAGES! >.<
That Rick is soooo hot.
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

For Christ Sake guys, you need to come down to Brazil! Please, como to Rio de Janeiro, man. Circo Voador would be the place to fit you perfect, everyone would like it, theres bunch of your fans down here. Please dont forget about us.
You guys are the best!

Don’t ask how I know that…
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!!!

That’s awesome! I bet it sounded absolutely amazing!

you guys are the best fucking band thats came out the past few years. just keep waitin and waitin for you guys to go on tour again
COME TO COLUMBUS OHIO!!
Pat, these pics are great. Thanks for sharing. P.S. does Isaac have some sort of pelt-obsession? Were his relatives peltiers/trappers? Have to believe it’s true.
sweet rug!!
When are u guys coming back 2 the tri state area!!!!! We miss you guys here!
pure awesomeness <3
this is killing me – every where i look it says modest mouse is taking a tour break….. and then i see photos of live concerts posted on this website from tonights gig. where the hell are you guys going???? i want to see mm live again!!!
Seeing myself in a picture on the MM website = best birthday present ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you so much guys!
eh! it’s “eh”, there, eh!
band together, indian style.
im pretty sure this was taken last year when i saw them, like august some time.
i saw them at pine thearter and issac was talking something about the bumper boats across the parking lot.
the rug really pulled that room together.
Damn, where and when do you guys play next, I haven’t even been able to get to go to a single concert of you guys yet. If you guys are touring post it up and I’m there. I really want to go you guys are fucking amazing but it says your not touring yet where do i go to get some info?
-Hoover
holy shit, I’m in that picture!
i need some more st. louis pictures / especially one with the tree infront of him….
also a twelve string guitar picture would be nice or maybe some cornet?? who knows?
this picture is great. you should post a picture from the myrtle beach show because it was their first ever show in sc. And possibly if you took a picture of isaac’s finger being split open and put back together with glue or when they were playing good times waiting for his finger to heal real quick, it was so much fun.
Hey Pat, thanks for all of the great pics you post daily…I really look forward to a new one each day. I would love to see some pics of the Miami show at the Filmore. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed that show…and the venue rocked…it wasn’t over crowded (I am short so these things matter). I also was at the Miami show several years ago (Isaac mentioned it at the Filmore show) where they played at the ELKS Club!!! It was my first MM show so they could do no wrong by me!!! Anything you are willing to share would be excellent!!! THANKS!!
Dramamine was killer at that show! And you should post pics from the shows just because its the Right thing to do.
Thanks as always!
I think you should post photos from the Cincinnati show, because I spent the evening in a blissful daze, and it would be lovely to be able to revisit that night. =]
-Much Love-
yes sir…well I went to the electric factory in philly 05/03/2007. do you got any pics from that? you played with man man that night…facing the stage i was on the left side…by jonny marr. During song cities made of ashes…a guy with glasses really was punched in the face. He was right behind me…security guards came and everything. i’m not lying….also i made it back stage that night…peloso signed my shoe….i spoke briefly with isaac..and met his son Aden….and an unknow kid took a picture of us…he got my email and eventually sent me pic so i had proof of the experience. twas a good night.
Live in Indianapolis!
Well Pat,
I’ve been a MM listener for 7 years…. I have all the cds.
I finally was able to get to a concert over the summer at Myrtle Beach, SC.
They didn’t let me take a camera in, and I’d love to see some more prints of it to help me remember my first show
Pat, you should post some photos of the Mouse show at the Gorge is Washington. Why? Because the Gorge is fucking beautiful and I know you got some good shots.
Thanks man, keep the awesome pictures coming!
Hey Pat! I was at the 8/17/07 show in Northampton, front row. Despite my passion of you guys, I have only had the privilege of seeing you guys just once (so far!). I could just spot me in the last photo you posted (i think the “ra” from your name was on my shirt!), and would love to see more. It was my birthday the day you posted it, and waking up to see that picture on the site was so meaningful to me and easily made my weekend.
I was recently asked by a friend of why or what about MM I love so much, to which on the spot I thought up “lyrics, music, meaning, intensity, awesomeness!” and I just thought that it was a wonderful phrase and that maybe you guys would too. Can’t wait for the next tour (Come to Connecticut!!!)
-Jason
Hey Pat, I’d love it if you posted some more pictures from the House of Blues, Myrtle Beach, SC show (June 26, I think?). It was my second Modest Mouse show, and as far as I’ve seen from looking at old setlists, it’s the only show they’ve ever played in South Carolina. I think that’s pretty historic, don’t you? Wouldn’t want documentation of that event to be held secretive.
Plus, there’s the fact that it was just an awesome show in general. I know there’s a lot of SC fans who probably saw Modest Mouse for the first time this year and who would appreciate some more photos from the show.
post pic of the DC show!!!
you should post some pictures from the one at the south lake union naval reserve building cause i some how found out about it day of, was lucky enough to get tickets and skipped my poli sci test to go. plus first show of the we were dead tour ( me thinks)
o ya and that was the “first rock concert” ever there as we were notified. badass.
Thanks for every single photo Pat!
I would love to see some more photos from the shows in Amsterdam and Hamburg. Because it was the greatest time of my life and Modest Mouse had an extremely intensive Stage presence! I’m sure you have a bunch of awesome photos from that shows
~ take care
Hey, I’m just kind of curious if you got any shots of the Vancouver, BC show? It was kind of a short set though. And I don’t remember seeing anyone in the back poking around with a camera.
Anyways, thanks!
Modest Mouse performing in Kansas City, MO/KS with Band of Horses on Friday, August 3, 2007.
Wonderful performance.
Back on 9/26/00 MM played a random, little place called Sher-Wes Gardens outside of Baltimore City. The Shins opened and my friends and I were 5 feet from the band! Amazing stuff, I’ll never forget. Hope you’ve got some pics!
I would like to see more photos of the St. Louis show. This was my son’s first concert ever! He was right up front, we had a blast…
bonnaroo 05 got the bug Birmingham 07 got the fever nashville 07 died and went to mouse heaven. I would love to see photos from any of these.
The Nashville show at the Ryman last year was my first concert ever, of my favorite band ever, and i couldnt get any pictures because cameras werent allowed! Id love to see what i couldnt see from the last row!
More Reno pics please…because Reno’s rock shows are few and far between!!
put up some florida pics please!
Hello Pat, I would love if you posted pictures from the Miami, Myrtle Beach, and Norfolk shows from this summer because I traveled to all three in one week! The picture of Isaac and Eric signing my back in Myrtle Beach would be incredible
photo’s from the Miami show would be great because that was the first show of the tour with out REM and the guys were loving it and jammed out like 26 songs including Dramamine/Life Like Weeds! The Myrtle Beach show rocked because I was front row and Eric smiled at me and waved 
and they jammed out an amazing show. The Norfolk show was incredible because it was the first time DDBB and MM played together live and I was there to witness it! I also got extremely overheated and threw up and the person I was with got punched twice by some very large woman… I got sick during The Good Times Are Killing Me and literally the good times were killing me, and the crowd sang back and forth with Isaac so many times at the end of the song that I will never forget the echoing of all of our voices in unison.. “the goooood times are killing me”
To sum it all up, I had an amazing experience traveling from state to state this summer, meeting you, the guys, and getting to experience the music front row. I love and appreciate all of your guys’ time and dedication. If it weren’t for all of you, my mind would not think the way it does!
Definitely post more from the St. Augustine, FL show…I kept being distracted by so many crazy dancers in the crowd!! Just kidding, nothing can distract me from MM.
Also, today’s my birthday and what’s a greater gift than pictures from the St. Aug show??
yo pat, you do a great job and i know you’ve been following these guys around for years. my first MM concert was at the festival pier in penns landing, philadelphia two summers ago in late august. before i went to that show i enjoyed the music, but it wasn’t until after that show i fell in love with these guys. i remember hearing extended versions of dramamine and tiny cities which completely rocked, they just so happen to be at the top of my list for modest mouse songs. i can’t get pictures from that show anywhere so maybe you can help. that concert changed my life and my overall interpretation of music. great show, great encore.
in addition they toured with love as laughter, which is an awesome band as well..
I think you should definitely post pictures from Cinco de Mayo in 2007. That show was my first Modest Mouse show and also introduced me to Man Man which is now one of my favorite bands. Not to mention there were all kinds of people from the crowd on the stage, although regretfully I was not one of them.
Hey Pat, fantastic shots up lately, although like your instructions I would like to see some more photos from the 6/24 Orlando, Hardrock show. I don’t know if you recall but me and some buddy’s called you out before the show started near the front of the line and introduced ourselves. It would be much appreciated.
Pat, the show at the Norva was incredible. My wife and 16 yr old daughter and 12 yr old son went to NYC to see REM/MM. That show was good but when they played the Norva – GODDAM, that was a show! We live in the Atlantic City NJ area, so we racked up some miles those two weeks between NY and VA. Also, they played satellite skin at the Norva and having listened to it a lot recently, I hope they put it on the upcoming record. So, this one message should count for 4 votes for more Norva photos. Thanx and keep up the excellent work. We love the candid photos at fireworks shops and airports too.
Pat,
I actually met / annoyed you (sorry i was slightly intoxicated) at the Charlottesville show. I would love to see some pics from that show. Thanks for all that you do.
The Rostraver ice garden was epic…more pics plz
i second the rostraver request, cmon pat
ROSTRAVER! ROSTRAVER!
Hey Pat, i think you should post more pics of the Rostraver show at the Ice Gardens. I missed that show because i was camping with some friends and my friends sister could get tickets and all but i couldnt cause i was in Ohio
. im uber bummed because MM will probably never come back near the Pittsburgh area 
. and if MM is still around by the time im able to drive then there is a possibility. Gah!!
IS THAT JESUS IN THE CROWD!?! RIGHT TO THE RIGHT OF HE DUDE WITH THE :-O FACE!!
I have an even better reason to post more pictures from the Cincinnati show…
It’s my birthday today =]
-Much Love-
bet you don’t have any of them playing in Tallahassee, FL wwaaayy back in ‘04 at the Beta Bar. Man I will never forgive myself for missing them; they played four nights or something ridiculous. It should be marked as the first and last time Modest Mouse will have been in Tallahassee yo.
i would love to see some more pictures of the iowa show because it was stormy and i had tickets but couldn’t afford the fucking gasoline to get there.
You already did put up some pics from Murat Egyptian room in Indianapolis. But I’d like to see some more. I liked the “warm up” and the one of Tom before the show. Loved the show, haggled for my t-shirt, reinforcing the idea that you can haggle anywhere, for anything, with anyone.
TORONTO!!!
That was an awesome show. Totally fell in love with “Here it comes” during that gig.
Hey, great photos of the band Pat, loving the action shots of Isaac!
Got any more from the las vegas show?
I was right up front, that was a hell of a night!
Please post Cincinnati pictures!!!!!
Why? you ask….
My first concert ever.
My favorite band ever: I have all the CDs and some EPs
I was third row
It was one of the best three hours of my life
They opened with Satin in a Coffin
Some dude jumped on stage from an amp on the wall
I bought a shirt
I love your photo blog
Thank you for always posting great photos. Please, post pictures of Modest Mouse’s Performance in Japan!
I wish I could request pictures from a show I’ve been to… not having been to any doesn’t help.
Hey Pat!
I was the Treasure Island Music festival, and it was the first time I had ever seen Modest Mouse, and it was the last show of their tour. I have never been so enthralled in all my life. The most amazing moment of the whole show was at the very end of “Spitting Venom”, when Isaac throws in ” Who needs hell, when we’ve got ourselves, who needs hell, when we’ve got ourselves….what good is hell when we’ve got ourselves?” Such powerful words for such a powerful night.
Any pictures of Modest Mouse tearing up that night would be amazing!
Post some pictures from the Chicago show at the Congress!
Please post pics from rostraver. I drove 5 hours both ways just to see these lovely boys put on a show (i wasn’t disappointed) and the atmosphere was almost perfect. I heard maybe one jeer the whole time, and the 20+ song setlist was more than any mm fan could ask for. Plus I want to see if I made into any pictures : ).
As a side note, not sure if this counts for anything, but I own nearly every modest mouse vinyl ever put into print. I’m just missing the UC Diggin’ Holes 7″.
PLEASE post more photos from the myrtle beach show!!!! Why? Because MM Rocked that night (they do every time they play), MM played a song that we had not heard before and spent hours finding it because like everything else they put out it was awesome!!!!! When is King Rat coming out?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?! SC never had such a wonderful band visit us and hope MM will return! The Atlanta show was too comical (not because of MM)….MM was the BEST band at the mistle to jam!!!! Plus we want to see all the pic you took Pat….we enjoyed watching u shoot pics while the band rocked! We also LOVE your book~silent pictures!
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.
Pat, you are a Modest Mouse fan’s wishes come true. If you have anything of the crowd from the Charlottesville, VA show then you’d be some sort of photographer messiah or something. Preferably any of the crowd right in front of the stage in front of where Johnny was playing. That area was going ABSOLUTELY NUTS the whole time. Fantastic work, by the way!
Pat, any chance you have some Maryland photos? virgin festival, merriweather? Tell the guys we are dying for the new EP!!!!! for serial
Pat, please post pix from the Minneapolis show at the Orpheum on Dec. 3, as well as the Cinco De Mayo show in Atlanta….
Hollywood bowl 2008 with REM please
i havnt seen any pics of that gig yet
Cincinnati would be great Pat. It was my first MM show and totally blew me out of the water. It was the last night a bunch of my buddies from college and I were going to be together because afterwards two left for graduate school and who knows when we’ll get to see each other again. It would be great to have another picture or two to remember our mutual love of the Mouse! Thanks!
post some pics from concert in Poland!!! oops, wait a second, there wasn’t any. but i hope i’ll see some in the future.
The shows in Nashville and Miami! I drove from Miami to Nashville to catch mm for the first time! and then in Miami I waiting like 6 hours to be first in line, only to be directed to the wrong place when they opened the doors, it sucked! Both shows were amazing, Id love to see more pics, thanks!
the tucson, az show from like last december. I bought a ticket and was going to drive down there by myself from phoenix to see the show. at the last minute my friend decided he wanted to go but you guys were all sold out. we made a counterfeit ticket for him and drove 2 hours to tucson not knowing if he could even get in. by some miracle the guy up front never even second guessed it. the show was amazing and at the end I even got one of marr’s picks! it was a really good show and really good memories.
St. Augustine show!!!
My first MM show, it was like a birthday present to myself and I didn’t have a camera with me!
Please!?
You should post pictures from the Charlottesville, VA show! Please?
NASHVILLE NASHVILLE NASHVILLE at the ryman!
PLEASE show some more pics from The House of Blues at Myrtle Beach, SC!!!! It was a great show, but cameras were not allowed in the facility. I was so excited for MM to come to my home state and I met some of the guys and you after the show! Very rememberable and I would love some pics of that night. (I did not bring a camera that night, so all I have is my memory). I would greatly appreciate it!
Hey Pat, got any more egyptians from Indianapolis? From house right? During Broke? Too specific? Dig Silent Pictures, was a gift from my husband. Epic Fugazi , could’ve had more The Shins though.
Sweet Shot, good show great scene PAt Would Love Very Very much to see more for this Show PLEASE PLEASE
Hey Pat, the show MM played in Brooklyn last year in McCarren Park Pool was incredible. I’ve never seen anything quite like that show before. Also, it was the last show ever in the pool before they closed it down!
I got to jump onstage and meet Isaac and hug him. A lot of people did the same at the Cox Arena in San
Diego in 2007. It was amazing.
Salutations Pat!
The Shins and Silversun Pickups opened up for Modest Mouse in san diego,ca in 2007!!! Just like Jacob said, I saw people go up and give the members some lovin!
Pleeeeease post em!
You guys are one of not many bands that have not sell outs … keep doing what your doing its great.. the music greated by modest mouse has many meanings of life…. i hope you guys come to LA soon …
oh my god. i was within 5 feet of johnny marr for the entirety of this show…words cannot express
More from Charlottesville!!!!! Especially ones of the crowd up front where all the guys were launching each other in the air! That show absolutely blew our minds! Thank you, Pat!
While this story is not going to be as good as the one you pointed out, Myrtle Beach should most definitely win. The show in South Carolina was a first for Modest Mouse, prior to this show we in South Carolina had to travel far and wide to see them live. Compared to past trips, anywhere in South Carolina was a walk, or drive, in the park as far a trip time goes. As a fan for years before this show, it was something amazing to be able to meet everyone that came out from the tour buses; I left the show shaking because of meeting you guys. I sincerely hope that Myrtle Beach should win because of the quality of the show, the quality of the performers, of course, and because of the atmosphere of the crowd.
Myrtle Beach is by far one of the overall trashiest spots in South Carolina, ask any native and they will explain the same thing. When it was announced that Modest Mouse would be coming to Myrtle Beach it truly took intestinal fortitude to brave the city of Myrtle Beach. Overall a small price to pay for wonderful night, but nevertheless worth mentioning. Myrtle Beach simply reeks of cheap booze, past spring breaks, and touristism; all things that are not especially the favorite things of too many fans, well except for maybe the cheap booze. Myrtle Beach and it’s suburban bleeding down the coast to towns such as Georgetown and Charleston are simply ruining the historic and native aspects to both towns. In short, Modest Mouse speaks about such things in many of their songs and in interviews given namely by Isaac.
In an ironic sort of way, it was fitting that Modest Mouse should choose to play their first show in Myrtle Beach instead of some “hipster” town like Charleston or Columbia. Both Charleston and Columbia would have been equally great shows but for them to play in Myrtle Beach it shows that: they did not care about location, it’s all for the music, and, that anyone, even Ohioans down for summer vacation, can and should indulge in some great Modest Mouse. By playing in Myrtle Beach, it was shown that music stands far above whatever social groups, states, or prior music cliques that people were a part of, Modest Mouse does not care, dance and have fun. Playing in Myrtle Beach was in no way “selling out,” that’s just stupid to think.
The show in Myrtle Beach was simply amazing and I will forever remember that night. In a decently sized venue, packed wall to wall, and all of us dancing, there is no way that Myrtle Beach was a bad show. Isaac’s finger got split open, only to be fixed with SuperGlue, and what better way to let that dry than to play “Good Times.” Simply by getting hurt and then playing “Good Times” it was a sort of representation of the attitude that this song has. There are simply few words to describe how much fun the audience were having and how much fun it seemed that the band was having. Eric was having a great time and Isaac, as usual, was giving some attitude to the audience, all of us loving it every second. The show as great, enough said.
After the show the bands that played, a certrain photographer, and the fans all got to interact outside the taped off area. A few people got to take pictures with Isaac, most everyone that wanted to got to shake his hand and say a few things and, not to diminish the importance in any way of the other band members, but we also got to hang out with them for a bit. Of course you all could have gone into the buses and sat around waiting to leave, but you guys instead came out and spoke with us and showed that you wanted to hear what we had to say. By no means was Modest Mouse’s performance at Rostrover inferior, it was simply that Myrtle Beach was unforgettably wonderful for South Carolina. Thank you so much for all that you do Pat.
I would like to see more Deer Lake Park (Burnaby, BC) show pictures! As for stories, these dudes infront of me actually snuck in a wedge of cheese. Ha ha, I don’t know; I was laughing.
Hahaha Aubre got the best comment! GOOD FOR YOU GIRL!
Rostraver beats Myrtle Beach in my family any day and Pat knows why.
I would definitely like to see more pictures from Bogarts in Cincinnati! Waiting 5 hours in downtown Cincinnati for the show was great, but it was made even better by stumbling across my favorite band in the alley after the show! =]
Thanks Pat,
Hailey
oh.. i would like to see some pictures from wrocław in poland, but unfortunetly you were here only in my dreams.
of course i’m glad watching every photo even if it makes me sometimes sad because i will never taste something like that.
photos are really stunning. brawo!
San Diego cause i was there homie. No story to tell I would just love to see some pics
POST EM’ ALL!!! But the Nashville, Rothbury, or Atlanta (2007) shows would be nice to see..
Oh Isaac, you really are Terrific.
Modest Mouse is just AWESOME!
hey Pat really your doing a really great job! thank you for all the amazing pictures.
It would be really cool if you could show more pix from st. louis and Issac in his straw hat or the tree bit
thanks and keep em comin
hysterical.
Indianapolis please. It was my understanding that it was only MMs 2nd time in 10 years playing in Indiana….so please come back and play some more from M & A and BNOOS. Rollins says they treat you right at Murat. I missed the Bogart’s show but I LOVE that venue so it would be cool to see those ‘nati pics too.
YEY! Thanks for the new pics! I know what mums getting for christmas!
some pics from philly would be cool..the pouring down rain or something
fuck all this…i didnt make any shows this year…so i have nothing to feel proud of with these shots.
Please post some pics from the chicago show at the congress! It was both one of the best days of my life and one of the worst.
Holiday Special?
More from the Council Bluffs, Iowa show.
I drove 6 1/2 hours from St. Louis to see MM for my 3rd time.
I was going to camp at a campground, that rain storm was incredible. Powerful.
Drank beers in the car until the rain gave up, broke through the fence with the buddy i was with (his first time seeing MM) and made our way throuhg the 4 inch rain puddle on the ground and saw an amazing set which I wish went on until the early morning…
More of those pictures please!
Post More Orlando Pix PLEASE!!!
Yeah yeah.Come Down To New Zealand, It Goes Off Down Here< And We Got A Mean Indoor Arena In Auckland!!
I love the lighting in this pic. god damn i wish i was there!!!!
I would dance, dance,dance, go crazy, dance, and i dance, and dance and go crazy!
why thank you sir!
I think you should post pictures from Cincinnati because it was a great show in a fairly small venue, and it gave the whole thing a really personal vibe.
Hope to see some more picures soon! =]
Post more orlando pictures because it was the greatest set ever played! I woke up with my alarm playing Custom Concern. It was the very last song they played. The best song to begin and end your day. Also because Isaac is the most lively and inexorabe performer I have ever seen. Please. More Orlando Pictures!
all the better, i didn’t even notice, anywho i was glad to hear it even if thats the only reason they did
his tatoos are sick as fuck, I love him
I could not have asked for a better set. but i would like to say that the city of orlando owes modest mouse an apology for being assholes. I had to leave the floor. it was the worst crowd of punks i had ever stood amongst.
i like to look at the reflections on the glass of pictures its kinda cool. MM should deffinately incorperate Crazy Gnome into one of their posters.
FINE! IGNORE ME!
Chris,
I will get there..I’m posting in order of most requests…
Cheers, Pat
i really hope you guys come to the beaumont or greater houston area. i need some modest mouse in my life!
Hey Pat, put up those pictures from the parking lot nap!
oh and…I’m the dude behind the pole next to the guy in the bright green hat.
Do you have any pictures from Texas? I really wish they would come back in Houston its been 3 years since..But they played in Austin,TX last year in May and it was an epic show with rain.
Miami!
Great picture! Hopefully theres more! Thanks!
I just came across this picture thru a link on Wikipedia. I love this photo and I’m a big fan of Interpol. I’m glad I found this picture. Thanks!
aw man…you just let that peep…play with you just like that. good times are fucking me.
So cool!!
good thing u got that anchor with ya
March Into the Sea
tell me another story from the sea.
Beautiful picture. I might have to make this my desktop picture. Feel free to drop by the board anytime. Any news on the EP?!
Looking good Isaac.
jeremiah rocks…thank all of you men for sticking through all of these years and playing your beautiful tunes..
If I saw Isaac Brock at an ocean like that I don’t know what I’d do.
this is really cool. I feel like this photo holds more depth than i will ever know
i wish i could have experienced this…
is that noah’s ark out there!? har
Hi Sandra!
I got some amazing vids of Isaac from the front row of the concert. I uploaded the best sounding one (The World At Large) to my blog (http://katuwapitiya.com/?p=237). I hope you enjoy it! (It really took a while to upload, lol)
Thanks for the linkage! Seems like the vid has spread like wildfire all thanks to you! The more people who see this amazingness, the better! Cheers!
I agree with Leanne @ this picture being beautiful enough to act as the background for all my computer-based work endeavors.
Pat, you ought to post some high res ballin’ MM shots for desktop use. Save some 1280×800 res images for us MacBook folk!
Wowzers!!!!! What a great pic…thanks sooo much Pat!!!! I sincerely hope they come back and sooooooon!!!!
Bahaha!! what a great shot!!!
still taking requests, Pat? I’m hoping for more pics from the Ryman show. if I were a greedy man, I might say it’s because we met the guys in the alley before the show and I saw you taking a ton of pics, so I know you’ve got them. or perhaps vain: “we were down by the stage in front of the legendary Mr. Marr. I was wearing a blah blah blah shirt and I’d love to see myself posted on MM’s website.” alas, I’m taking the high road here and asking for more pictures from the Ryman show because it’s the RYMAN – the Mother Church of American Music!!! and don’t we all owe the Ryman a little something extra? Thanks, Pat…I know you’ll do the right thing.
cool beans. i hope you guys come back too!
thats a really cool picture. see? miami is the best!
bitchin
Crack is Whack!
hah thats clever
What a great shot. This picture makes me laugh.
Awesome. XD Was this before or after the show?
rows of lights to aluminate lines, I saw you guys sometime in 2007 atpromowest in columbus, old dude told somebody to get the fuck off the stage during some song? shit was epic , anyways, you dudes are my favorite shit ! Dont change Yo! come back to Cleveland I need a fix. Peace
Great great photo. I love all the faces.
loving the long hair!
This IS a great pic…it needs to go on the RVCA website as well…represent!!!
i absolutely love it wen he talks into his gee-tar.
i have no idea wat he’s saying but i like it.
please post some pics from Abluquerque, NM, puh-leez
The audience reactions in the first row are great.
I’m in this one too! See the red haired dude cheering, I’m the dumbfounded girl directly behind him! Yay! I already bought this picture its hanging in my bedroom wall looking absolutely awesome! Well done Pat!
That is simply magical…
On today’s homepage, who is the hottie driving the golf cart? ~Stephanie
You should post more of this beautiful show. Maybe we can see a picture of us dancing with Isaac..
Heard modest mouse jamming out last night … some time around 3:00 a.m. Hells. Yes.
gah! i absolutely love this photo!! this is probably one of your best live shots Pat.
also the store has been down for like ever… is it being updated or something??
I love this picture. Its one of my favorites.
if you’re still taking votes i was deffinately going to put one in for Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
It was my first time seeing MM and it was amazing. I was in the very front row where there are two pictures i see myself in which is awesome. I had some dude who was basically sweating on me which when i think about it is pretty gross, but didn’t even bother me just thinkin i was at this concert.
Me and some other dude also tried to pick my friend up to crowd surf, which only lasted about two seconds before plunging to the ground.
so anyways, Modest Mouse should definately come back again when on tour next year or somewhere atleast close to south carolina and i’ll definately be there again.
is there any instrument that you guys don’t use?
Hello Pat!
Could you post photos from the show at the Egyptian Room in Indianapolis on 11/12/07 ? It was the third show of three that I saw in 3 nights along with a couple others. That night was my younger sisters first Modest Mouse show! It was an incredible show and Indy is my home town!
Thank you for continuing to update
Pat, will you also inform the guys that I would love if they were to practice Life Like Weeds and play it during the next tour
I’m pretty sure I’m behind the dude with his fist up, hard to tell. Anyways thanks for uploading these Orlando pics, it was nice meeting you Pat.
Great pic. I love the guy in the crowd cheering.
Er, deity that is….
Isaac is just about the coolest dude in the world
can’t wait for the next tour!! go MM!
Ikes Shoes = God
Ike= Godlier
Oh! Poor Chris! I just have to remark on how sincerely nice you are, Pat…I love the comments almost as much as the pictures! Thank you again and again…
Sometimes it is hard for me to conceive of how you guys produce such incredible sounds. Thank you.
You guys playing any small shows in Seattle when you guys come home? Home is calling for you guys to come back!!
New Videos!! Thanks Sean and Pat for sharing that
Makes me happy!!!
Merry Christmas!!
haha this pic cracks me up. Ikes face is priceless!
the shirt explains it all
this is an awesome photo. I am astonished I am the first to comment on it!
Man Man and Modest Mouse should tour together next time there is a tour. Both are such incredible performances. And the guys really did a great job at diversifying each shows set lists. They really proved to us all that they are extremely talented artists who don’t just play the new songs. Which, I am soooo excited to hear the newest!!!!!
this is soo funny. making me laugh out loud here Pat!
i want to be there.
that’s neat
this is a fascinating effect! what are the dots?
that sky is outrageous, and i bet isaac driving 160 is beyond my imagination
oh my gosh, is that the real stone henge? that is an awesome photo Pat! you are so creative and have an amazing eye for photos.
isaac is born on the day of wonder. he would be. and he shares a birthday with oj simpson.
so happy I was there to experience this, and thanks for catchin me in the corner!!
is that an alligators paw? its definitely a munchies moment
Myrtle Beach!
Hey what’s up modest mouse! I’ve loved your band for years. I used the put on “moon in antartica” and make collages about the music. I went to a show once in phili a few years back .after the show Isaac signed my friends shirt and I gave him a cig…. Anyways it was at that moment I fell in love…..I’ll always be a modest mouse fan. I like the song “Bukowski” from your recent work. Until recently, I never knew what the name “modest mouse” meant, despite being an avid reader of Virginia Wolfe’s work. …. Virginia Wolfe’s story the “hole in the wall” has not only changed the way I look at walls, she has enlivened a new prospective about thinking creatively…being thrilled by nothing more than one’s thoughts, so that you no longer regret waking up in the morning.
new mexico pics, please!
i really like the 3rd photo
happy new year!
very awsome photos pat. and yes indeed the 3rd photo is sweet
Happy New Year!!
Great photo, i love seeing some photos from MM’s early years.

I Love the old pics alot. you should post more of the oldies!!!
This is the dose of Modest Mouse and Man Man I’ve been craving for the past week. Awesome.

I always love pictures of Isaac with the banjo.

Hi, I´m just wondering when or if you guys are gonna play in Sweden?

Tom look even more scrumptious than that breakfast. ACL rules!
isaaquah …its flooded.
peloso…your the man…and the leaves and trees and the things we see…very catchy….i cant….something something.
Those things are so awesome. My nephew has one just like that.
Ah, Tom the Swiss Army knife. You never disappoint, for I enjoyed your tune.
“Float On” touch my heart lolololo thats a great song !
greets!!
Is that a Hawken?
Jeremy looks hynotized..
by the way what the hell is that thing??
looks awesome. when is MM touring again, i need my fix!
Awesome stuff!
Can anyone tell me how I can get another copy of Nipple? Some jerk stole mine along with my entire CD collection. Forget the rest of my collection, just gimme my King Sour cd back!
looks like the Canabis-Man
Hey Isaac I know your never going to read this, but nice haircut.
and why does it take two people to take a photograph? (look at the reflections)
but anyway these pictures are always really cool and sometimes random.
i wonder what’s playing??
a lil MGMT or Man Man?
sweet shirt
look at all those stickers……
is this backstage? does each band leave a sticker?
Ice cream in a bar?? bad form – takes up valuable drinking space
Is that coca cola?
And, apparently, this is in Italy?
ice cream or gelato? and out of curiosity, what flavors?
Hmm…a Nikon user I see. D700?
isaac, gonna tell you…i¡m from argentine…tucuman…and im sure i¡ve heard broke in a remote place among the montains at 4000mts right here. but please understand me…it was the wind running trought those trees and the river down there…i loved it and i wished i could catch that sound…jus to share it with another human being…it s strange but i think that the song was travelling through the earth and, as the old americans natives, you developed your spirit just to listen and play it…thanks
haha Johnny looks like hes really enjoying that ice cream haha!
oh! you took the picture with a mirror. i thought it was through a window or something. I can see the camera now.
great photo! Gelato kicks our ice cream’s butt!
the only good thing on, eh?
well maybe just the best thing on.

“tiiiinnyyy ccciiittiiieesss…..”
That’s enough break gentlemen…Reno misses you!
What show is that video from?
time is up guys. its going on 3 years since we texan have seen ya’ll. com-on back soon.
Wow, Isaac sure looks worn out here. Concerts must be exhausting!
What I wouldn’t do to have Modest Mouse come play in Toronto!
You guys are my absolute favourite band of all time. I love your music! Every album is awesome, I have them all. I only wish that you’d come down to Toronto, Canada and play. I swear, I’d die if you did.
I’m sure you get so many comments from so many fans and I’m sure it gets annoying, but I have to say how much I love you and your music. Modest Mouse is the best
Hey Pat, when are you going to post more tour dates!?! PLEASE come back to Pittsburgh!!! I need to see MM live in order for my life to be complete!
When is modest mouse starting a new tour? a new album? What’s going on right now?
when i looked out the window of my color tv, i didn’t think that the only color it showed was green!
Do not watch so close, it is bad for your eyes.
Hey JoeMack, I think its just taking them a while to put the new EP out but im not positive. a while back when the origional info was posted it said that it was being mixed. hopefully we’ll get some new news sooner or later. im not sure.
try the cowboy hat in the back.. plummer.
i was just thinking…ugly cassanova’s song sha sha sha sha…might mean shaman…from an indian…chanter you know…like that song by the doors…my love went riding…she rode through the day a…something like that. they are indian chants like….must be a spirit thing mixed up in rock and roll…i guess
i read somewhere that isaac got that sha sha sha sha! thing from an old lithuanian record that was layin around his house when he was young. i’m not sure it’s true. could just be internet gossip, but that’s what i heard.
You seem to have broke the pattern. You did something with everybody, but now you’ve done TWO things with Joe!
I love that fluffy ball!
Great picture, nice angle.
I like his shirt.
I love this picture.
Awesome picture. Loftus looks fascinated.
Joe is adorable.
I second that, your fans from texas need you guys. The whale song would blow minds
If you guys play in Canada I’d go from the top of the ocean to the bottom of the sky to see it
YES! Great show.
Really cool, sounds real edgy and feels good akin to a good trip.I want more.
love the pic
actually I live in the town next over.
thus the “or near it” when i put my mouse over the pic.
C’mon! What would it take for you guys to come towards New England! You’re so far out of the way right now!!!!!
Come to Maine, or Mass, or something! Please!
I can’t wait. Hope you come back to Ohio!!!!! This time go to Dayton Like the Nutter Center, or that one place on the River in Cincy.{River Bend I think}
Bloomington, Indiana, Please and thank you
the magic bus.
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm! I think you forgot about the best state in the the US. Oregon. We miss you come back. Dying to here he new stuff.
bitchin….
Nikki doesnt know what shes talking about. WHEN you come back to Ohio play at Blossom. I saw Radiohead there, and its absolutely gorgeous.

Come to CLeveland! Please! The Agora Theater is an awsome place. The Odeon is OK but not that great. Time warner Ampitheater is a cool atmosphere but probably very cold in the winter. You can play in my back yard if you want…Just somewhere close…Akron or Kent would be awsome too.
Awesome!!!! See ya at Langerado!!!!!!
You’re not coming to MY town! You guys used to come to Detroit all the time. We haven’t had a good band here in 6 months!
Yhay, your commin to my town!
i guess that thats what i get for living near the 2nd largest city in the US.
don’t forget about all these guys, guy! and Oregon is cool.
visalia seems pretty random, but i know handsome furs stopped there last year, so there must be some scene there other than the farmers with bud cans
add more tour dates later. thanks!
I think Kentcuky needs another visit. We don’t get anything but horses…
please come to the obx of nc!!!!
Ooo hail, how fun.
come to winnemucca!!!
Yeeeeeee! MM is back on tour!
damn, lots of requests haha
Dear Modest Mouse,
How the fuck can you go to VISALIA, and not Portland?! You have such a better demographic here. You’re loved to the moon and back. Going to Visalia is a great idea to reap all that untapped Central CA energy, but please consider a proper show back in the Northwest. We’re still boiling.
OMJesus! I may get to go to the Atlanta concert! I don’t care if I live all the way in Kentcuky, I’m going to go!
Modest Mouse, ya’ll need to come to new Orleans !!!!!
Bloomington, IN Please and thank you
I can not make it to any of the shows…You guys should come to Bloomington, many humans would gather to listen to you jam. Especially Me.
You guys need to come back to Virginia, or somewhere near here….Please?
i live in fresno. but thanks for comming to visalia! i can’t wait to dance the night away !!!
THANNNNK YOU !!!!!!!
SEE YOU ON THE 23RD
Ok, so the Langerado is canceled…I sure as hell hope this doesn’t mean you are skipping South Florida!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mizner Park in Boca is a excellent venue!!!!
Relief! I got my tickets for Albuquerque and Phoenix! I was having such bad Modest Mouse withdrawls!
You should go somewhere near Maple Grove, Minnesota. Just not too far away! (:
I just like the pee pees in the background haha; what’s with that? (:
please come to Indiana ^-^
D.C.
anything from maryland or philly pat, like those bike cop photos from merriweather!!!!……hilarious
Nashville would be swell!
Kentucky!
Sasquatch 2008 would be wonderful.
Hey Pat! Could you post pictures of the concert that Modest Mouse will play in Oakland, California on February 22 after the concert is over? I will be going to that show and it would be nice to see some current tour photos of the band.
Your pictures of the band are incredible. I’m a huge fan. I know that the band is constantly traveling with the tour but is there any place where I can send them like a letter or anything? Just wondering if you had an address. Thanks, and keep up the great work
!
Do you have any photos of the Show at the Cox Arena in San Diego 2007 when a bunch of people jumped onstage?
Nashville!!!
Raleigh! The one picture of Johnny with the sunset is great, I’d love to see more.
Denver…Red Rocks
Indianapolis please!
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Las Vegas!
I can’t wait to see pictures from the upcoming Atlanta show.
More Rothbury photos would be nice.
Creepy Isaac stares, audience shots, yes.
more pictures of cameras!
ROTHBURY or NASHVILLE PLEASEEEEEEEE!!
St. Augustine, FL please!
CINCY! CINCY! CINCY! CINCY!
Lots of early stuff. The pre-2000 b & w’s on this page are quite emarkable.
Pat, Reno pics are appreciated as that’s where I see you guys. But you capture soul and magic so just keep ‘em coming please.
xoxo
north hampton 07′ por favor
The Miami Show…that was a great time and show!!! Also, can you please talk to them and tell them that coming to South Florida, even though the Langerado is canceled, is a REALLY good idea……..

ROTHBURY PLEASE
If you have any good Albuquerque photos, you should include some. This concert’s gonna AWSOME!!!!
I think your looking at the last year tour dates..
Definitely the charlottesville concert. It was the best concert ive ever seen!!!!!
How about that picture you posted from Myrtle Beach when they were playing “The Good Times are Killing Me” while the glue on Isaac’s finger was drying? I think that’s my favorite from the ones you’ve posted from that show.
And for the record, I love the photozine idea. I know I’ll be picking one up in Atlanta.
Thats no uke. Its a brockaleleleleeelee. That insrtument BETTER be on the new EP or I’ll be pissed! Nice kicks.
Orlando! The ones you posted of Isaac from there were awesome
There is going to be a sold out show in Oxford MS, at the lyric. To my knowledge this was the first show to sell out on the tour schedule. It would be friggin SWEET if some pics of that show could get posted.
out of gas
Your band is so awesome! I never heard of you until recently & I really love the music & songs!!!!! Gotta come to Dallas one time!
You are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ake eke ike oke uke!
Isaac you silly bastad, thats not how you fix a toaster! Love all the Modesty in my mice man, thank the band and yourself.
-Coz
could you bring along the picture of isaac play the gutair with his mouth in orlando… i love that one
why the hell is the fruit that ate itself out of print?
Ha hell ya!!! I love this shot! As much as I do listen to the “old stuff” I love any music made by Issac and the boys. This should be the single cover for Ocean breathes Salty… Where the ocean met the sky and time and life shook hands and said goodbye. My god I can’t wait til theyre in Baltimore on the 12th
Ha Eric looks blazed faced as hell! Good to see the guys stayin away from the fiend drugs and sticking to some good old MAry J. Not that their’s anything the matter with a little dabble in this day
Great to see him behind any instrument! Good things are still to come with these guys I can just feel it in my bones. Love your music Issac and would really love to meet you someday man
You’ll here me soon enough in Orlando.
Pat, this pictures rad, how current are the pictures you post in relation to what the band is actually doing?
what?, you didn’t hear me the first time? i said I WANT THE NEW EP TO COME OUT!
Well when I’m with the band I post photos taken minutes to a few hours after they are taken…
While off tour the posts are form the archive.
Posts will be as of the moment starting on Sunday night…stay tunned.
Modest Mouse is by far my favorite band, they need to come to seattle!
I hear what you’re saying, it sounds fine
For just a touch, it sounds fine
^ i love that song
omg omg omg!!
I can’t hear you talk about your dreams involving me…i don’t believe that they are any sort of prophecy at all…
You NEED to come back to Charlottesville!
All of these pictures capture their true identity and you can really grasp that through their music and lyrics
just now a new fan of theirs!!!! They gotta come out to the house of blues in Dallas Texas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have been heard in Texas and love it!!!!!!!!!!
Texas wants another tour date!!!!!!
(march 5th is open by the by)
were bigger than you thought
oh yeah and your music makes life at least 70% better
You shall hear from teh Californians.
“It’s Taco Tuesday.”
