Modest Mouse
Modest Mouse Live Performance Featuring Stars Are Projectors and More
In December 1998, Modest Mouse was right at a pivotal moment in their career, riding the wave of their breakthrough album 'The Lonesome Crowded West,' released just a year prior. This live recording from the Showbox in Seattle captures their raw, energetic sound just as they were gaining traction in the indie rock scene. Tracks like 'Doin' the Cockroach' and 'Trailer Trash' reflect their grunge-influenced style and complex lyrics that connect with listeners on a deeper level. Interestingly, this period was marked by a sense of authenticity, as the band mixed intricate melodies with thought-provoking themes, a hallmark of their journey. With the cult following they garnered during these live shows, it wouldn’t be long before they reached a wider audience. So, while this setlist might bring back nostalgia for dedicated fans, it’s also a reminder of how these moments helped shape the band's future.
