Modest Mouse Live Performance of Dashboard at Santa Barbara Bowl
On September 14, 2007, Modest Mouse performed a live set at the Santa Barbara Bowl, showcasing their energetic style and the depth of their sound. This concert took place shortly after the release of their album "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank," which hit the shelves earlier that year, in March. This album marked a significant point in the band's career, featuring the breakout single "Float On" and displaying their shift towards a more polished sound. The live performance encapsulates the band's distinctive blend of rock and introspective lyrics, drawing in both longstanding fans and new followers alike. It’s interesting to note that this was also a time when Modest Mouse was gaining considerable mainstream attention, even collaborating with legendary producer Brian Deck, intertwining their indie roots with broader appeal. This vibrant concert reflects their journey and evolution at a pivotal moment in their history.
