Modest Mouse: Self Mutilation
Pitchfork reports that Isaac Brock, front man for Modest Mouse, cut himself with a pocket knife several times while on stage at a recent show.
I can’t describe how sad this makes me feel. I am a big fan of Modest Mouse, and the thought of Isaac imploding like similar artists before him as he approaches a supernova of stardom is very disheartening.
I suppose the lesson here is that artists — true artists who channel themselves through their work — are often very troubled people. Art is often an expression of depression and other issues. I hope Isaac gets better — his unique voice is too important to lose.
