Modest Mouse Miami Beach Tickets

In 1994, Brock, Green, John Wickhart and Dann Gallucci recorded their debut EP, Blue Cadet-3, Do You Connect?, at Calvin Johnson's Dub Narcotic Studios, which was then released on K Records. Then followed a single with Sub Pop that was recorded by Steve Wold (now better known as bluesman Seasick Steve) at Moon Studios. During this time, Modest Mouse also recorded their would-be debut album Sad Sappy Sucker, but constant delays caused the album to be shelved and forgotten (it was officially released in 2001). After moving to Up Records, temporarily losing guitarist Dann Gallucci, Modest Mouse put out several releases recorded at Moon Studios, including 1996's This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About. This double LP was produced and recorded by Steve Wold (at this time Wold was a member of Modest Mouse as well). The next offering was Interstate 8, also produced by Wold. 1997's The Lonesome Crowded West, (also recorded at Moon Studios, by Scott Swayze) turned out to be Modest Mouse's breakthrough album. The Lonesome Crowded West gained Modest Mouse a cult following, and is now widely considered to be one of the defining albums of mid-90s indie rock. Prior to the release, Modest Mouse had recorded the EP The Fruit That Ate Itself. In 1999, Up Records released a singles and rarities collection entitled Building Nothing Out of Something, which included the entirety of Interstate 8 except for the songs "Edit the Sad Parts" and "Buttons to Push the Buttons".
