BREAKING NEWS: Modest Mouse & The National to Tour With REM & Tix On Sale Saturday April 5

Fans of Modest Mouse and The National, rejoice!  They're heading back to New York. And guess who they'll be touring with...

R.E.M.?

OK, yeah, that sounds odd to me, too. Then again, Modest Mouse has been known to engage in a little hero worship from time to time (read: Johnny Marr of The Smiths, now in the band). So maybe I shouldn't be so surprised.

The important stuff: Tickets go on sale this Saturday, 4/5!
