Since their 1996 debut album, This Is a Long Drive for
Someone with Nothing to Think About, Modest Mouse’s lineup has centered on
Brock, Green, and Judy. Guitarist Johnny Marr (formerly of The Smiths) joined
the band in May 2006, along with percussionist Joe Plummer (formerly of The
Black Heart Procession) and multi-instrumentalist Tom Peloso, to work on the
album We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. Guitarist Jim Fairchild joined
the band in February 2009.
Modest Mouse will celebrate the release of their new album,
‘Strangers to Ourselves’ (Epic), with a performance on The Tonight Show with
Jimmy Fallon on March 17. The band has also confirmed headlining performances
at both The Gasparilla Music Festival and Forecastle Festival. After surprising
fans with the release of “Lampshades on Fire,” a song "as jittery and
propulsive and nervous and weird as the best of Modest Mouse" (NPR Music),
and a music video for “Coyotes” (both songs debuted at #1 on the Spotify Viral
Chart), the band has released a third song, “The Best Room,” now available at
all digital retailers.
