Green was barely out of his teens when he joined Modest Mouse, which also included singer-guitarist Isaac Brock and bassist Eric Judy. Modest Mouse was founded in the Seattle suburb of Issaquah and later moved to Portland. It gets its name from a quote by Virginia Woolf, who once described ordinary people as “modest mouse-colored people.”
Modest Mouse, influenced by Talking Heads and XTC, debuted in 1996 with the album “This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About” and built a significant critical following before finding mainstream success with their fourth release, “Good News for People Who Love Bad News,” and the singles “Float On” and “Ocean Breathes Salty.”
