Modest Mouse and Man Man must have really hit it off this past spring. We peeked at the recent tourmates' calendars today and discovered they have hot dates planned for pretty much every night in early November. Not your typical night out at the Steak 'n Shake either-- these two lovebirds will rendezvous in such exotic locales as darling Des Moines, Iowa, and sexy Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Playing third wheel, then, are constant companions Love as Laughter, who join all those M's for this latest stretch of shows in support of Modest Mouse's 2007 LP We Were Dead Something Something Ship Something. Right. It all kicks off on Halloween in Spokane, and wraps up a few weeks later in St. Louis.

Man Man have gigs galore before that, however, the first of which is the previously reported benefit for Bottom of the Hudson on September 20 in Philadelphia. They've snuck in quite a few shows since our last report, so be sure to click these bold red letters here.
