Pitchfork

Modest Mouse continued debuting their new guitarist, some upstart named Johnny Marr, at a sold out gig at New York City's Nokia Theatre last night-- the first of five shows in the city spread across three different venues. You've seen the video of this promising rookie in action, now scope these lovely photos, courtesy of Pitchfork's NYC photographer William Kirk. This Marr guy looks good; we have a feeling he might amount to something someday.





As previously reported, Modest Marr-Mouse skitter about NYC this week, then play a London gig and jet off for Australia through the new year. Dates and more photos ahead.
