Isaac Brock, Modest Mouse frontman.
The band consists of guitarist/vocalist Isaac Brock, guitarist (and guy playing random things) Tom Peloso, bassist Russell Higbee, rhythm guitarist Jim Fairchild, drummer Jeremiah Green, and violinist Lisa Molinara.
These guys are all about to descend upon South Africa along with other US alternative band American Authors, French alternative act Klingande, and local acts including Prime Circle, KAHN (the guy with the make-up from Parlotones), Jeremy Loops, PHFAT, Gangs of Ballet, The Kiffness, Jesse Clegg, and others.
