Modest Mouse?

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Nobody really seems to be talking about these guys as a possibility. Definitely not headliner material but I know as of a month or so ago they were still on tour with Man Man and people wanted them at Coachella last year. Maybe not. Whoopsie daisy. Worthless thread.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Only if they perform the Stars Are Projectors...

[woogie846]

Modest Mouse sounds like a very plausible sub-headliner.

[brando4n82]

Modest Mouse threads are never worthless!!

If they played the stars and projectors id cry

I REALLY wanted them last year, hope we get them this year

[Rhymes with "the"]

I've been wanting to see them for the past so many years and I always miss them Seeing them at Coachella would kick ass.

[MassiveChemicalPunk]

I want Modest Mouse.

[ttboy80]

As I understand, there is some bad blood between Coachella and Issac's drunk ass.

[dorkfish]

I'm sure they could have gotten over it in 10 years, if there's any truth to that.

[brief_things]

I would definitely enjoy seeing them there (esp if they played stars are projectors), but I've seen them a few times, and the only time they ever disappointed was at a festival show (local radio station thing). They weren't bad, just not what I had hoped for. But I've seen them twice since and they rocked it both times. So who knows? Maybe they just had an off night the first time.

[i_like_cake530]

I would want to see Modest Mouse at Coachella if they'd go back to playing the classics, instead of playing the new "We Were Dead..." bullshit like they did at Treasure Island.

[heyimazombie]

i just want to hear gravity rides everything live once before i die.. just once, they never play it when i see them

[iuseblenders]

I think they're generally a great band to see at a festival. It'd be laid back and the crowd would be chill

[noisemachine]

I saw them at the Treasure Island festival. They were good, but played almost exclusively from We Were Dead... and Good News... minus a few.

[PersonalJesus28]

CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG but didnt Ex-Guitarist to THE GREATES BAND EVA THE SMITHS Johnny Marh Accept a teaching job as a professor of MUZICA at The University of London?

[boarderwoozel3]

Modest Mouse would be cool.

If they ever wanted to change the band name it should be Humble Hamster.

[ttboy80]

Yes to the london job, though that is not a full time gig.

No to the best band EVA

and

No to the new less than stellar new album.


I've seen them a number of times, and when they play stuff from the west and the moon they still kill it... maybe even better as issac has been sober enough to remember the lyrics... though I will say, saw him a couple of hours after the last show stumbling his way home gotta love portland!

[kingdumb]

yes to my lord Issac Brock!

as long as i get to hear cowboy dan!!!!!!!!

i got paid last year to watch modest mouse when they played at my work (big corporate amusement park)

soo good

[brando4n82]

bump!!!

[kreutz2112]

bump? It had been 13 minutes since somebody had posted in this thread.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Douche bump. I think they routinely play Cowboy Dan and Doin' the Cockroach and TIny Cities made of ashes or whatever it's called. aaaaaaaaaaaaaand 800 POSTS!!!

[woogie846]

Dramamine sounds stellar live.

[woogie846]

Did I just say stellar?

[msklvr]

Would sure like to see a MM addition.

[boarderwoozel3]

So I wanted bring up--again--that Modest Mouse are wwwaaayyy overdue for a Coachella performance. Seriously, what gives? They're a perfect sub-head candidate. Is this the year? I'd see them for sure.

[sbessiso]

They slayed it here in Miami Beach this summer. SLAAAYED. We got the MM show we fucking deserved. I can never say no to Isaac and the boys. Bring 'em on. (Although they ARE scheduled to play at SalahRoo)

[boarderwoozel3]

Nice. I was able to catch them back in 2005 and they were very good live. Although I didn't properly appreciate their because they were between me and the Pixies. Oh well.

How does Salahroo and Salahchella differ? (Sahara aside)

[sbessiso]

SalahRoo doesnt have many fans at the moment but I love it.

The Cure (3-3 1/2 hr set)
KISS
NIN
My Morning Jacket (ditto)
Phish (I dont really know them but its necessary)
Weird Al Yancovic Late-Night Set
YeahYeahYeahs
Meat Loaf
Modest Mouse
Tenacious D (!!!!)
The Black Keys Late-Night Set
Dolly Parton
The Faint

SalahChella is something like

The White Stripes
Gorillaz
Outkast
Bowie
BECK (duh)
The Faint

I havent really given much thought to SalahChella except for the headliners.

[apostle2]

this is one of those bands that will never, ever play all the songs I want to hear no matter how many times I see them. that said, I will continue to see them and try.

[boarderwoozel3]

Not going to lie, Salahroo is... an interesting mix.

The point is this; goddamn Modest Mouse are perfect for a second or third tier sub-head slot at Coachella. I'm baffled as to how they haven't played yet.

[SFChrissy]

I'd be down and I had no ideaa former smith member was associated until recently mentioned on this board a few ago...
