MODEST MOUSE playing Keyspan w/ CLIPSE + 2007 Tour Dates

Modest Mouse @ Primavera 2007

Modest Mouse was formed in 1993 in Issaquah, Wash. After years of acclaim for its independent recordings, it broke through to a mass audience with the edgy but upbeat hit single “Float On” in 2004.

Many of the band’s old fans were uneasy about seeing their heroes with a hit, and the cries of “sellout” increased this year when “American Idol” contestants sang “Float On” in a music video sponsored by Ford.

His manager warned him that allowing the song to be used in that way could be a bad PR move, but Brock says he couldn’t resist the opportunity…. [San Jose Mercury News]
