Modest Mouse is an American rock band formed in 1992 in Issaquah, Washington (a suburb of Seattle), and currently based in Portland, Oregon.
 The founding members are lead singer/guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Green, and bassist Eric Judy.
 Strongly influenced by groups Pavement, the Pixies, XTC, and Talking Heads, the band rehearsed, rearranged, and recorded demos for almost two years before finally signing with small-town indie label, K Records, and releasing numerous singles.
 Since the band's 1996 debut album, "This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About", the group's lineup has centered on Brock and Green.
 Judy performed on every Modest Mouse album until his departure in 2012.
 Guitarist Johnny Marr (formerly of the Smiths) joined the band in 2006, shortly following percussionist Joe Plummer (formerly of the Black Heart Procession) and multi-instrumentalist Tom Peloso, to work on the album "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank".
 Guitarist Jim Fairchild joined the band in 2009.
 The band's sixth album, "Strangers to Ourselves", was released on March 17, 2015.
Sharpen Your Teeth is an album by the indie rock band Ugly Casanova.
 Brainchild of Modest Mouse lead singer Isaac Brock, Ugly Casanova was his attempt to try new methods and genres outside the realms of Modest Mouse.
 The album sees Brock performing on more instruments and using a more stripped down method of recording.
 The story given is that an eccentric character named Edgar Graham met with Modest Mouse while on tour.
 During their time together, Graham and the band recorded a few songs together, and Graham completely disappeared.
 In an attempt to get Graham to resurface, Brock took the recordings to Sub Pop Records, redid them in the studio, and had them released as Sharpen Your Teeth.
 A follow-up is highly unlikely due to contractual obligations Brock has with Modest Mouse's label Epic Records.
 It has since been revealed that Brock fabricated the story himself, using Ugly Casanova as a method of writing music whilst not being recognized instantly as Modest Mouse.
Tom Peloso is an American musician who was born February 25, 1967 in Waynesboro, Virginia.
 He is a current active member of the indie rock band Modest Mouse.
 Peloso has played with Modest Mouse since their 2004 album, "Good News for People Who Love Bad News", including their latest release, "Strangers to Ourselves".
 He also plays in his own band, Tom Peloso and The Virginia Sheiks.
"Never Ending Math Equation" is a two sided single by indie rock band Modest Mouse.
 On its B-side it features "Workin' on Leavin' the Livin'", and both of which later appeared on their "Building Nothing Out of Something" compilation album.
 The 7" was originally released as part of the Sub Pop singles club.
 Since that release, the featured song "Never Ending Math Equation" has received some mainstream success and as a result of such, Modest Mouse have frequently played the song at their live performances.
 On the inside of the sleeve there is information about the second run of the Sub Pop singles club and a subscription form from 1998.
Dann Gallucci (born March 31, 1975) is an American songwriter, producer, musician and audio engineer best known for his work with Modest Mouse, The Murder City Devils, and Cold War Kids.
 Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Gallucci met Modest Mouse’s Isaac Brock in Seattle, Washington in 1993, playing guitar with the band intermittently before joining full-time to record several singles that would eventually appear on the album Sad Sappy Sucker, released by independent record label K Records in 2001.
Good News for People Who Love Bad News is the fourth full-length album recorded by alternative rock band Modest Mouse.
 Jeremiah Green, who played drums on all other Modest Mouse releases, did not perform on this album due to his temporary absence from the band.
Baron von Bulls*** Rides Again is a live bootleg album by indie rock band Modest Mouse, the first live CD unofficially, and later officially released by the group.
 The live performance was recorded by Modest Mouse, but was not officially released by the band.
 Instead, only a small number of individuals could obtain a copy at the time by purchasing the album exclusively at Park Avenue CDs in Orlando.
 Later that year, the album was made available on the Internet.
 It was released on April 13, 2004, one week after the studio album "Good News for People Who Love Bad News" was in stores.
 Currently, this disc is out-of-print.
 The album was recorded at The Social in Orlando, Florida during a string of shows between February 13–15, 2004.
Sad Sappy Sucker is the name of a 2001 album release by alternative rock band Modest Mouse.
 Originally slated to be Modest Mouse's debut album, "Sad Sappy Sucker" was shelved for several years until its eventual release in 2001, on the heels of the popularity of "The Moon & Antarctica".
 Several songs were recorded at Olympia, Washington's Dub Narcotic Studios.
 The record was officially released by K Records on April 24, 2001, available in both Compact Disc and vinyl LP, and containing nine additional tracks added to the original track listing of 15 songs.

The Melvins are an American rock band that formed in 1983 in Montesano, Washington.
 They have mostly performed as a trio, as well as a quartet with two drummers in recent years.
 Since 1984, vocalist and guitarist Buzz Osborne and drummer Dale Crover have been constant members.
 The band was named after a supervisor at a Thriftway in Montesano, Washington, where Osborne also worked as a clerk.
 "Melvin" was despised by other employees, and the band's members felt it to be an appropriately ridiculous name.
 Their early work was key to the development of both grunge and sludge metal.
