The book is a biography of a band that unconventionally took hold on the indie music scene and became international superstars. There's a close look at the background of front man Isaac Brock and how his wild style influenced the band and their fan base. It highlights their first and only major hit 'Float On' and everything before and in between. The book was written in 2006 so its a little behind in terms of their new music but it seems like a really interesting read and its purported to be witty and pretty funny so I'm hoping it will provide me with a lot of good information!
Sounds like a great book to start your paper with Steph. I think getting a good understanding of your topic is a good thing to do first. And using this source is a great way to do that.
ReplyDeleteFrom a person who owns all 125 songs by modest mouse i'm happy to see them represented here. I think focusing Isaac and how he essentially lead the band to it's success through his personality and lifestyle will provide for a very in depth paper.
ReplyDeleteAs a side note, i think their song "dashboard" was a hit in the US too.
