Modest Mouse Origins

I was very lucky in my younger years to actually see Modest Mouse in my hometown a few years before they achieved mainstream success. I didn't know who they were at the time, I was there to see the band they were opening for, and they didn't put on that great of a show but it allowed me to discover their raw brand of indie rock. These guys are among the very few bands in which I like pretty much all of their albums (less so with their more recent mainstream releases). I figure this will only be of interest to the hardcore fans as this isn't great quality but the band recorded and released this on their own onto cassette tape in 1993, when they formed.  There were only less than 100 released which Issaac Brock (singer, guitarist) did all the art work by hand for. "Tube-Fruit, All Smiles and Chocolate" is only for die hard fans because it's of very poor quality, too long at times and has outbursts of pure madness but it's still a great gem showing us the beginning of one of the most recognized indie rock outfits of today. Hope y'all enjoy it now.
