Sorry to everyone that has been submitting news and information over the past week or so. I've been swamped at work and have been spending what feels like every moment of my free time apartment hunting, which thankfully ended yesterday. Updates should return to normal.

Eric Judy has had to temporarily pull out of the current tour due to unknown reasons. His bass duties are being handled by Tom Peloso and Love As Laughter bassist Brandon Angle.

Just a reminder that Modest Mouse will be performing tonight on The Late Show with David Letterman.
