Modest Mouse Plot ‘Good News for People Who Love Bad News’ 20th Anniversary Tour
Modest Mouse are celebrating the 20th anniversary of 'Good News for People Who Love Bad News' with a new tour.
Featuring their hit “Float On,” the album elevated the band from the indie underground to the rock mainstream and remains their most commercially successful work. Formed in Portland, Oregon, by lead singer-guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Green, and bassist Eric Judy, the band first found widespread attention with their landmark 1997 album The Lonesome Crowded West, which still ranks among the best indie-rock records of the late-Nineties. But with Good News For People Who Love Bad News, they found commercial success thanks to the hit single “Float On,” a song that set Brock’s sanguine lyrics about dealing with life’s hassles to a bright, buoyant track that sounded closer to Talking Heads than any of their peers in the Upper Northwest indie scene.
