Modest Mouse

In February 2001, Modest Mouse found themselves in a pivotal moment, having just released their acclaimed album 'The Moon & Antarctica' a few months prior in June 2000. This album marked a significant shift in their sound, incorporating more atmospheric elements and introspective lyrics that resonated deeply with fans. The live recording at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver showcases the band at a time when they were rapidly gaining popularity and expanding their audience, supported by singles like 'Float On' and 'Gravity Rides Everything' that would soon follow. It's interesting to note how this period set the stage for their transition from indie darlings to mainstream success. With the raw energy of their live performance captured here, you can hear the passion and creativity that would define their future endeavors.
