Seattle's Modest Mouse planned to spend its summer aboard Lollapalooza, but has lined up a club trek in the wake of the summer festival's cancellation.
Most confirmed dates are clustered from mid July through early August, and the outing currently is set to wrap up on Sept. 18 at the Austin City Limits Music Festival in Austin, TX.
The alt-rock quartet is backing its April release," Good News for People Who Love Bad News," its first album of new material since 2000's critically hailed "The Moon & Antarctica." The new set was produced by Dennis Herring (Camper Van Beethoven, Throwing Muses).
"Good News" is the first Modest Mouse album to feature new drummer Benjamin Weikel (The Helio Sequence), whom the group recruited last year to replace departed drummer Jeremiah Green.
Modest Mouse also is scheduled to appear on NBC-TV's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" on July 21.
Lollapalooza was canceled last month due to slow ticket sales, organizers said.
