I love Mimicking Birds. It's surprising he has already played Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits, but not Sasquatch. It's also surprising he doesn't have a bigger following in the NW, being a Portland guy.

I could really see that happening. I hope mimicking birds, and modest mouse both make an appearance. modest mouse hasn't been around the area since 2008, and like you said the mimicking birds just hit it big with the festival circuit. in fact, I'm just gonna go ahead and throw a completely random prediction out there.... I give sasquatch a 90 percent chance of putting both of them on the bill. Thats right... you heard it. spread the news

I saw Modest Mouse in September 2009 in Spokane. They played Bumbershoot in Seattle the night before.

ok ok. let me rephrase that... I haven't been ABLE to see modest mouse in the area since 2008. I remember when they played that spokane show, I was so bummed.

Clearly what he meant to say is that Modest Mouse does not tour nearly enough, and as long as I am not seeing them three times a week, he is correct.

A bit off topic, but I8, I played in a little Modest Mouse cover band for a little cover show we do in town every Halloween. Being Eric Judy is fun. (Did Talking Heads, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Rage Against the Machine too)

I saw Modest Mouse in 2000 (Moon and Antarctica) and it was fucking intense. I've seen them three or four times since, and each time it is progressively more disappointing. Nevermind that their new music is about as bad as it can be.

I've had a similar experience with them. I first saw them years ago and the show was amazing, but every time I've seen them since it has been less and less mind blowing. I don't think their new music is awful, but it definitely doesn't compare to their first 3 LPs.

Hate to say it, but the problem is Isaac got sober.
Years ago, when the internet was a baby (and before [adult swim]), the Williams Street people maintained a flash-based website for Space Ghost Coast to Coast at ghostplanet.com. One section of that website listed music and film recommendations from the creators of the show, which is how I got turned on to Modest Mouse. I had gathered a small collection of what would be called 'indie' music from stuff I had seen on MTV2, but when I went to Amazon.com to order 'Moon and Antarctica', the rabbit hole of Amazon recommendations blasted the gate open for me. A couple weeks later I had my first copy of 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea', and it was all over.
So I have a special place in my heart for Modest Mouse, even if they continually disappoint me these days. Last I saw `em was at Sasquatch, and I was so bored I couldn't even pay attention to them.
However, there was one last *really* special MM performance that I can point to. It was a few months before 'Good News for People Who Love Bad News' was released. I was sitting, reading a book in Col. Summers Park in the vicinity of 20th and Hawthorne in Portland where I lived at the time. There is a group of houses overlooking the park, from which I could hear a band rehearsing that sounded an AWFUL lot like Modest Mouse. When the singer started in it removed all doubt; later, when the record came out, I recognized 'Bukowski' which I had heard in an embryonic form that day.

I've seen some dreadful Modest Mouse shows, but caught the residency in Portland a year ago, and thought they were solid. Brock still exhibited some madman tendencies, and I still couldn't understand a word he was saying between songs.
Then again, I also feel like they hate festivals, and go all out for their paying customers in the smaller venues.
