Kicking off a particularly busy year of touring, Modest Mouse’s first stop will be at Orlando’s House of Blues.

The tour follows last April’s expanded re-release of their fan-favorite early 2000s alt-rock gem Good News for People Who Love Bad News. Formed in 1993 in Issaquah, Washington, and now based in Portland, Oregon, Modest Mouse have long been a staple of the Pacific Northwest indie scene. Their sound ranges from post-punk–influenced tracks inspired by Pixies to the psych-pop stylings of bands like Flaming Lips.

The band reached mainstream success in 2004 with the hit single “Float On.” Modest Mouse’s packed schedule is not exclusive to tour dates — in September, their inaugural Psychic Salamander Festival happens with a lineup featuring Courtney Barnett, Built to Spill and Sleater-Kinney joining them. (Not to mention their own themed cruise happening next year!)

The show features support from Doug Martsch, lead singer and guitarist for Built to Spill, who will accompany Modest Mouse during their fall touring leg.

7 p.m. Monday, June 9, House of Blues, Disney Springs, $44.50- $125.
