Modest Mouse

On April 27, 1997, Modest Mouse performed at Slim's in San Francisco, a pivotal moment for the band as they were on the cusp of wider recognition. This live recording captures the essence of their raw, energetic sound during the era surrounding their album 'The Lonesome Crowded West', which they had released shortly before in 1997. 'The Lonesome Crowded West' stands out as a powerful collection, showcasing their blend of post-rock and indie sounds that resonated deeply with listeners and marked a turning point in their career. It's fascinating to note that at this time, the band was still relatively underground, but they were rapidly building a dedicated following, laying the groundwork for their later successes and the mainstream appeal they would achieve in the years to come.
