News Is Johnny Marr out of Modest Mouse?
Posted by Ezra Ace Caraeff on Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 11:05 AM
Is the most famous Smith (not named Morrissey) out of Modest Mouse? The sorta-local band announced a series of tour dates this morning—none of which will be in Portland—and the press release included this line: "Jim Fairchild of Grandaddy will be playing guitar with Modest Mouse on this tour."
Does that mean Johnny Marr is no longer in Modest Mouse? Hmmm, just in time for a certain reunion of one of his former bands... no, not Electronic.
Also, local newcomers Mimicking Birds (who have signed to Isaac Brock’s Glacial Pace imprint) will be opening on all the dates. We'll get to the bottom of this...
Update: False alarm. This just in from the band's publicist: "Jim [Fairchild] is filling in for Johnny on these dates only. Johnny will be recording with the Cribs at this time." Damn, there goes that Smiths reunion...
