Modest Mouse Philadelphia Tickets

In 2003, Green quit Modest Mouse after suffering a nervous breakdown; the official word was that Modest Mouse was quitting to work with Modest Mouse's side project, Vells. The same year, Modest Mouse and bassist Eric Judy appeared on Adam Forkner's debut solo album, VVRSSNN. Green was replaced with two new members, drummer Benjamin Weikel (who also drummed for The Helio Sequence, as well as playing keyboard) and guitarist Dann Gallucci (who had been a member of Modest Mouse previously, and appears on Sad Sappy Sucker). On April 6, 2004, Modest Mouse released their fourth album, the platinum-selling Good News for People Who Love Bad News, which scored two hits with "Float On" and "Ocean Breathes Salty" (both of which they performed on Saturday Night Live on November 13, 2004). Later that year, Green returned to the band, and Weikel returned to drumming exclusively for The Helio Sequence. Gallucci left Modest Mouse in August. In 2004 Modest Mouse also curated an edition of the All Tomorrow's Parties festival.
