Pitchfork

They're no strangers, of course, but there won't be any shortage of strangeness each and every night of the Modest Mouse/Man Man tour, which kicks off tonight, appropriately enough on Halloween. From the Brockster's native Washington State most of the way to Man Man's East Coast digs, the shows cover much of November, with a little time apart around Turkey Day.

Following the split, Modest Mouse have a handful of shows of their own in December, before Professor Marr heads back to the ivy to administer final exams. Man Man, too, have a date far off in the distance we feel bears mentioning: their set at next May's ATP vs. Pitchfork Fest.
