I seriously, SERIOUSLY doubt that modest mouse could sell out an arena. Their were shows on this current tour that haven't sold out until the day of the show (if at all). I could see them moving up to big venues on an indie-rock scale (Irving Plaza, The Filmore, etc...). >> yes i mean large indie rock scale. but still its just scary to think about. i mean before they'd play venues with a capacity for 500 people or so. granted they played a few big spaces. but this next leg it seems they might have spaces with room for two thousand people... but no i'm not thinking modest mouse will suddenly turn area rock band with a tour backed by mtv or anything. but to argue with you about shows selling out i know for a fact that the bowery ballroom show was sold out well before the show. haligh haligh a lie haligh, sara
