Biography

Issaquah, Washington, United States (1993 – present)

Modest Mouse is an band which formed in 1993 in Issaquah, Washington, United States. The band’s original lineup consisted of guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Green and bassist Eric Judy. Since being signed to Sony’s Epic Records in 2000, Modest Mouse has attained significant popular success with songs such as “Float On” and “Dashboard.”

The band’s current configuration is Isaac Brock (vocals, guitar), Tom Peloso (strings, horns, bass, keyboards), Jim Fairchild (guitar), Eric Judy (bass), Jeremiah Green (drums) and Joe Plummer (drums). Plummer has recently become the new drummer for The Shins.

Brock came up with the name “Modest Mouse” when he read the Virginia Woolf stream of consciousness essay The Mark On the Wall in which the author described the working middle class as “modest mouse-coloured people”

Brock frequently moved around with his mother when he was a child. Around this time, his mother left his father for his father’s brother (Brock’s uncle). Brock’s mother’s house flooded and forced them to move into his mother’s new husband’s trailer, but there was no room for Brock. Brock stayed behind, living in the second story of the flooded house, until he was eventually evicted by police. He then moved into a shed next to his mother’s house and it is said this is where Brock, drummer Jeremiah Green and bassist Eric Judy first began playing music.

    My sympathy to those who were hyped for the UK tour, that's gotta sting. Hopefully a new record will help ease the pain.

    it's been years since they toured europe and they never toured austria at all.. without wanting to offend american fans, they tour america every year and there's still people on this shoutbox saying "come to this or that place in the US please" .......... we are happy that the album is coming finally as well and I have calmed down a bit since yesterday... mainly there should be more understanding on both sides and this shouldn't (have) turn(ed) into an america vs europe war...

    Their album was suppose to come in 2012 I think? It has been years, and we are extremely happy, because he stopped giving odd answered about the album's release date. He said next year, so now I can stop suffering. I do have some sort of sympathy for the UK fans though, but this album needs to come out so we can all keep our sanity.

    nah i think the worst thing they could have done is break the band up (fyi if they cancelled a show where i was supposed to see them so they could record new material i really wouldn't be outraged)

    i'm pretty shocked by the responses of american fans how happy they are that the european tour is cancelled and who cares about the european fans etc... this stuff is really ridiculous. i rather won't comment on Modest Mouse announcement regarding cancelling the tour... worst thing they could have done.
