Modest Mouse On The Road
After canceling the band’s 2013 European summer tour to work on its upcoming album and then making a handful of U.S. appearances, Modest Mouse is ready to hit the road in May for a 14-night excursion through the States.
Fans have been waiting since the release of 2007’s We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank for a new LP. Modest Mouse hasn’t mentioned the word “album” on its Facebook or Twitter accounts since breaking the news last June that the European tour was being called off.
At that time the band said, “We do appreciate our fans and promise that we will make it up to you next year. … We look forward to sharing our new music with the world next year.”
