Modest Mouse and Band of Horses Tour Together
Well, Isaac Brock's a major player in the booking scene

Hard to say just how they'll manage a cross-country stint with dashboard dripping on their shoes, but if anyone can pull it off, the long distance drivers of Modest Mouse can. Especially if they've got enough horsepower backing them up. (Sorry! Couldn't resist!)

Band of Horses will open for the mighty Mouse on a stretch of U.S. dates this August, including that one infamous show with Clipse on Coney Island. BoH will get a month's rest in between that trip and their own headlining one we just mentioned a few days ago.
