- Isaac Brock is from Issaquah, Washington. His band, Modest Mouse, was formed in 1993 and originally included himself as guitar/vocals, Eric Judy as bass, and Jeremiah Green on drums. They practiced their music in a shed Isaac built next to his mother's trailer; it was called "The Shed"...
Modest Mouse released several albums, "Modest Mouse" in 1994, "This is a Long Drive for Someone With Nothing to Think About" and "Interstate 8" in 1996, "The Fruit that Ate Itself" and "The Lonesome Crowded West" (their breakthrough album) in 1997. "The Moon and Antarctica" came out in 1999 with "Building Something out of Nothing". In 2001, they released "Everywhere and His Nasty Parlor Tricks" and a 'lost-album' known as "Sad Sappy Sucker" (An album released by K Records, which was intended to be Modest Mouse's debut)
In 2002, Isaac worked on a side-project called "Ugly Casanova", which came from a deranged fan by the name of Ugly Casanova. He sent lyrics to Isaac and begged him to make them into music. Thus, Isaac formed "Ugly Casanova", a one-time.
In 2004, they released "Good News for People Who Love Bad News", which became an instant hit. Modest Mouse soon became very popular and made several TV appearences on shows like: "Saturday Night Live", "Austin City Limits", and "Last Laugh 2004". Modest Mouse had also been featured on FOX's new TV show, "The O.C.", in which they played a few hits at a local pub in the series (songs included Paper Thin Walls, and The View).
In 2001, the band suffered the exit of a long-time friend, drummer Jeremiah Green. He was temporarily replaced with another drummer, Benjamin Weikel (who appeared courtesy of Sub Pop Records) But recently, Jeremiah Green has returned to Modest Mouse and began touring with MM this Summer.- IMDb Mini Biography By: SPiV
- Lead singer for the band "Modest Mouse"
- Lead singer for the band "Ugly Casanova"
- Lives in a neighborhood in Portland Oregon with his girlfriend Katie and dog Sloan.
- Lives in Portland, Oregon with his girlfriend Naheed.
- I made a point when I made the Ugly Casanova record to not write a song and then say, 'This is a Modest Mouse song' or 'This is an Ugly Casanova song.' The people who were open to it not being a Modest Mouse record liked it.
- 'Float On' was a fine song, but I was still writing the lyrics on the last day we were working on it and deciding if it was something we wanted to put on the record.
- When I do write, it happens really easily. I'll just kind of sing along to whatever I'm playing, then find a line to build off of, then sit down and write. When I do write, I take care of business!
- Even when I was a kid, I always showed up late for school every day. It got to the point where they had my late slips filled for every day of the school year in advance, so all they had to do was fill in what time I got there.
- I'm a huge Cure fan. I love the Cure. The scales being tipped to when they weren't on a major label compared to when they were seems pretty meaningless. I had the good fortune of having them go before me and seeing their careers, musically at least, lose something. Like a novel written by a dead hand.
