Q: I book shows for ____ (venue) in _____ (city). I am interested in having Modest Mouse play at my club.
A: Email me and I will give you contact information for Modest Mouse's booking agent. If you are in a band who is interested in playing with Modest Mouse, please contact your local booker/promoter who is organizing the Modest Mouse show. Modest Mouse's booking agent won't be able to help you.
Q: How can I find out more history and information about the band?
A: Read some of the interviews on the links page.
Q: What kind of equipment does the band use?
A: There is a rather dated list on the Tabs page.
Q: I heard that Isaac Brock was charged with rape. Is this rumor true?
A: A woman accused Isaac of raping her in Spring of 1999. The charges were soon dropped, but not before creating an uproar in the Seattle music scene. There have been many conflicting rumors on the subject with people jumping to either defend Isaac or accuse him. In the end neither his guilt nor his innocence have been proven. RAINN
Q: Where can I get the Night on the Sun (Japanese) EP?
A: Try eBay if you're willing to bid around $50 for it. The songs from the EP can be found on the Moon & Antarctica and the Night on the Sun 12".
Q: Where can I find Modest Mouse live bootlegs?
A: Do not buy live bootlegs! People who sell bootlegs on eBay and elsewhere are parasites. They are making money off of the talent and hard work of the band. Trading bootlegs for your own listening pleasure is fine. Profitting off of them is not. You can find an excellent sampling of live MP3s on my sounds page. You can find entire shows in MP3 at Indie Pop Live.
Q: What is the Modest Mouse Live in NYC LP?
A: This record is not an official Modest Mouse release. It is a bootleg record, taped (obviously) in New York city.
Q: Where can I purchase Modest Mouse shirts, buttons, CDs, records, etc?
A: I have set up a small page to help you order Modest Mouse CDs online through Insound. Each purchase you make through my page helps support this website. For shirts, buttons, and 7"s Up Records mailorder has an excellent selection of Modest Mouse merchandise. Their mailing address is on the links page.
Q: Where can I discuss Modest Mouse with other fans on the Internet?
A: The Modest Mouse mailing list is the most popular MM forum on the Internet although much of the content is not Mouse-related. There are also a Modest Mouse IRC chatroom and a Modest Mouse message board.
