History [ edit ]

Formation n' early years: 1992�"1999 [ edit ]

When Isaac Brock was a teenager, da thug was employed at a local crew vizzle store just outside Seattle. This is where he kicked it wit basehead Eric Judy. Brock n' Judy lata discovered disc jockey Jeremiah Green,[2] whoz ass also resided near Seattle, at a heavy metal show, at which point they decided ta make noize together n' shit. In 1994, at Calvin Johnstonz Dub Narcotic Studios, Modest Mouse recorded its first EP, Blue Cadet-3, Do Yo ass Connect?, which was busted out by K Records. This was followed by a single, "Broke", recorded by Steve Wold (a.k.a. bluesman Seasick Steve) under Sub Pop recordz at Moon Studios up in Olympia, Washington. Durin dis time, Modest Mouse also recorded what tha fuck would done been its first mixtape, Fucked up Sappy Sucker yo, but constant delays caused tha mixtape ta be shelved n' forgotten. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Dat shiznit was not until 2001 dat dat shiznit was officially busted out. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Before tha crew made its way tha fuck into tha pop noize ghetto up in 2004, nuff of Modest Mousez tours included stops at DIY/punk venues.

Afta movin ta Up Records,[3] Modest Mouse busted out two full-length mixtapes n' other recordings includin tha 1996 LP This Is a Long Drive fo' Someone wit Nothang ta Think About. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Steve Wold also recorded n' produced dis mixtape (and all up in tha time was assistin up in tha recordings as well yo, but was not officially part of tha band) along wit tha next offering, Interstate 8. Da 1997 mixtape, Da Lonesome Crowded West (also recorded at Moon Studios, by Scott Swayze) served as tha bandz breakall up in cause I gots dem finger-lickin' chickens wit tha siz-auce. Da Lonesome Crowded West gained tha crew a cult following, n' is now popularly considered ta be one of tha definin mixtapez of mid-1990s indie rock.[4] Durin dis time, Nick Kraft became involved wit tha task of refinin tha bandz sound. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Prior ta its release, tha crew had recorded tha EP Da Fruit That Ate Itself. In 1999, Up Recordz busted out a singlez n' raritizzles collection entitled Buildin Nothang Out of Something dat included tha entirety of Interstate 8 except fo' tha joints "Edit tha Fucked up Parts" n' "Buttons ta Push tha Buttons".

Da crew licensed "Gravitizzle Rides Everything" fo' a Nissan Quest minivan advertisement, a move dat Brock has publicly bigged up as blatantly commercial but necessary ta big up financial stability.
