Photo by Aaron VanimereYou can squint all you want, but former Grandaddy guitarist (and current All Smiles head) Jim Fairchild does not look anything like Johnny Marr . But when Modest Mouse hits the road next month, that'll be Fairchild onstage with them, not Marr. The scratchy Northwestern indie band made headlines a few years back by adding the former Smiths guitar mastermind to their lineup. But Marr will be recording with the Cribs while his band tours, so he won't be able to make it, and Fairchild is filling in. On the scale of Johnny Marr band departures, this is roughly fifty bazillion rungs below Marr and the rest of the Smiths repeatedly refusing truckloads of money to reunite. Presumably, we'll see Marr back in Modest Mouse before long. Meanwhile, if you've been longing to prove you've been down with the Mouse since before Marr, now's your chance. Mimicking Birds, recent signings to MM frontman Isaac Brock's label Glacial Pace, will open all these dates (except for Langerado). Note: They have quite possibly the greatest list of "Influences" on their MySpace page known to man.read more

Remember when Modest Mouse supposedly had another album ready to go following 2015's Strangers To Ourselves? Clearly that did not happen. Instead, the Issaquah rockers embarked upon another one of their long intervals between projects. They've toured quite a bit in the last four years without a peep (or should we say a squeak) about…
