Modest Mouse

In June 1999, Modest Mouse was on the rise with the release of their album 'The Moon & Antarctica,' which came out just a year later in 2000. However, at this time, they were still riding the wave of the earlier album 'The Lonesome Crowded West,' released in 1997. This live performance at the Showbox in Seattle depicts a band quickly gaining recognition, showcasing their unique blend of indie rock and introspective lyrics. An interesting tidbit is that this show highlights their early experimentation with sound, just as they were beginning to capture a larger audience. With songs like 'Float On' just around the corner, it’s fascinating to witness a turning point in their career, as they transitioned from indie favorites to mainstream icons.
