Modest Mouse Ticket Giveaways!
Modest Mouse (presented by Cat's Cradle ) will be playing at Disco Rodeo on Wednesday March 11th. WKNC is giving a pair of tickets each day starting March 7th till March 11th. Listen to the daytime rock deejays for details on how to win.
Known for "Float On", their first breakthrough single into the mainstream alternative movement in 2004, most people are unaware that Modest Mouse had been around for quite some time. In fact, Good News for People Who Love Bad News was the 6th album released by the indie rock band. Issac Brock , the band's singer, songwriter and guitarist, grew up poor in suburban Washington and quit school at the tender age of sixteen. Inspired by the grunge era formulating within his own state, Brock created Modest Mouse in the early Nineties and began rehearsing in a shed near his mother's mobile home.
Today, the band is well accustomed to playing sold out shows, touring the world, and are known internationally. Don't forget to tune in for your chances to win tickets to this great show!
