Modest Mouse spent the weekend aboard the Ice Cream Floats, their four-night indie rock cruise from Miami to the Dominican Republic. Its lineup featured the likes of Portugal. The Man, Kurt Vile, Mannequin Pussy, and Isaac Brock's non-Modest Mouse band Ugly Casanova.
Aside from contributing to the 2010 documentary 180° South: Conquerors Of The Useless, Ugly Casanova haven't been up to much since they toured their sole studio album Sharpen Your Teeth in 2002. Here and there Brock will include an Ugly Casanova song in a Modest Mouse setlist. Saturday night on Ice Cream Floats, however, was Ugly Casanova's first billed show in 24 years.
Brock's Ugly Casanova bandmates have changed a lot over the years, but Saturday night he was reportedly backed by a large ensemble including Tim Rutili from Califone, Pall Jenkins from Black Heart Procession playing a singing saw, producer Suzy Shinn, and several current members of Modest Mouse; the former two also performed on Sharpen Your Teeth. Brock wore a beekeeper's suit for the performance.
