Modest Mouse is an American alternative rock band formed in 1992 in Issaquah, Washington, and currently based in Portland, Oregon. The founding members were lead singer/guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Green and bassist Eric Judy. Strongly influenced by Pavement, Pixies, XTC, and Talking Heads, they rehearsed, rearranged, and recorded demos for almost two years before finally signing with small-town indie label K Records and releasing numerous singles.

Peel played a few tracks from the band in the middle/late 90's and early 00's, but didn't seem to play any further material beyond 2000, according to available tracklistings on this site.
