- Modest Mouse was formed in 1993 in Issaquah, Washington by guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Green and bassist Eric Judy. Brock came up with the name "Modest Mouse" when he read the Virginia Woolf stream of consciousness essay “The Mark On the Wall” in which the author described the working middle class as "modest, mouse-coloured people." On April 6, 2004, Modest Mouse released the album, the platinum-selling “Good News For People Who Love Bad News,” which scored two hits with "Float On" and "Ocean Breathes Salty.”
- The forthcoming album, "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank," includes Isaac Brock, Eric Judy, Jeremiah Green as well as Johnny Marr (former Smith's guitarist), percussionist Joe Plummer (Black Heart Procession, Magic Magicians), and Tom Peloso Vocals/Violin/Standup Bass/Slide/Trumpet/Keyboard (formerly of the Hackensaw Boys).
