Our last installment of the story of Mice and Men (touring together) concluded with the announcement of a whole bunch of new joint tour dates with Love as Laughter. This time, the quantity of new dates is fewer, but the spirit of boundless love between good bands remains.

That is, Modest Mouse have extended their fall tour into December, and some of the new dates are with Man Man and Love as Laughter. In fact, it seems entirely possible that both openers will appear with Modest Mouse on all of the new dates. (According to the Man Man camp, the band hasn't been confirmed for all of the shows "as of yet".)

The tour's first stop is in Spokane, Washington on October 31. On Halloween, does it become Spookane? Um, right...

And as you can see from the images above and below, Modest Mouse have continued updating the photo blog on their website with all sorts of shenanigans. The photos are by Pat Graham, who, as we mentioned, has a photo book out now.
