Modest Mouse tickets In 2000, Modest Mouse released The Moon & Antarctica, their first album on Epic Records. The album was more instrumental compared to their previous work, and this was partially due to Brock's breaking Modest Mouse's jaw during recording. He, not knowing if Modest Mouse could sing, focused on making a more experimental album. The band enjoyed some success on alternative radio with the singles "3rd Planet" and "Gravity Rides Everything." It was critically well-received including a 9.8 out of 10 score from popular online music magazine, Pitchfork Media. It has subsequently gone on to receive further acclaim. Brock has since put out an album with Modest Mouse's side project Ugly Casanova on Sub Pop Records. The band licensed "Gravity Rides Everything" for a commercial for Nissan's Quest minivan, a move that Brock has publicly acknowledged as blatantly commercial but necessary to achieve financial stability. The band announced a North American tour beginning in June 2008. The band returns to Florida since their November 2006 Bang Music Festival show where they were cut off stage early, with three shows in Miami, Orlando, and St. Augustine. While an update on the modest mouse blog subtitled catching up on some words for the next tour, it is in fact the lyrics to Heart Cooks Brain.
