We’ve got good news for people who love “Good News For People Who Love Bad News.”
Starting on Oct. 28, Modest Mouse will take off on a 20th anniversary tour celebrating the seminal 2004 album that catapulted them into the mainstream behind the success of “Float On,” “The World At Large,” “Ocean Breathes Salty” and “The Good Times Are Killing Me.”
Better yet, we’ve got even more “Good News” for New Yorkers.
The 21-concert trek concludes with three back-to-back-to-back shows at Brooklyn Steel on Thursday, Nov. 21, Friday, Nov. 22 and Saturday, Nov. 23.
Indie rockers The Black Heart Procession serve as the special guest on select dates.
“[‘Good News’ is] the only record where I can do a tour with all the living members, all the exact same members,” lead singer Isaac Brock said on Rolling Stone’s Music Now podcast.

The Black Heart Procession
Formed in 1997, the jangly indie rock group fronted by Pall Jenkins — of Ugly Casanova fame — made their name with tunes like the wry “It’s A Crime I Never Told You About the Diamonds in Your Eyes,” plaintive “The Letter” and funky ballad “A Cry for Love.”
