Indie rock band Modest Mouse coming to town 

Modest-MouseGrammy nominated, indie rock chart toppers, Modest Mouse will perform in Paso Robles with special guest Mimicking Birds on Sept. 24 at 7:30 PM. Tickets go on sale Saturday, August 23 at 10 a.m.

Modest Mouse was formed in 1993 in Issaquah, Washington and over the last decade has become the indie rock standard, and one of the few bands capable of treading the narrow path where massive popularity is possible without sacrificing their longtime fans.

The band released their first full-length album, This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About, on the Up label in 1996. With the release of their second album, The Lonesome Crowded West in 1997, the band’s status reached new heights with a legion of fans and critical acclaim. In 2000, Modest Mouse was signed to Epic Records and released their third album, The Moon & Antarctica. In 2004 came the release of their breakthrough album, Good News For People Who Love Bad News, which included the hit “Float On” and has sold over 1.5 million copies and earned the band two Grammy nominations.

Modest Mouse released We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank, on March 20, 2007 and immediately entered the Billboard Top 200 chart at #1. Most recently the band released the EP No One’s First, And You’re Next and also reissued Moon & Antartica on vinyl.

The show is at the Vina Robles Amphitheatre. Tickets are $45, plus applicable service charges. Tickets available at Ticketmaster outlets including Vina Robles Amphitheatre box office located at 3800 Mill Rd, Paso Robles, CA 93446, (805) 286-3680.
