Modest Mouse

On December 11, 1998, Modest Mouse played a memorable set at the Showbox Comedy and Supper Club in Seattle, showcasing their song "The Stars Are Projectors". At this point in their career, the band had just released two albums: 'The Lonesome Crowded West' (1997) and 'The Moon & Antarctica' (2000). The live recording captures the raw energy and unique sound that helped them carve a niche in indie rock. Notably, the concert occurred before they hit the mainstream with 'Float On,' highlighting a critical moment in their artistic development. Fans often reminisce about the intensity of their early performances, where the blend of poetic lyrics and complex instrumentation left a lasting impact. This era marked their transition from underground favorites to influential players in the music scene, a transformation celebrated in this historic live performance.
