Modest Mouse

In the vibrant setting of Nita's Hideaway on October 4, 2000, Modest Mouse was touring in support of their acclaimed album, 'The Moon & Antarctica,' which had dropped earlier that year. This album marked a significant turning point for the band, blending intricate melodies and complex lyrics that captivated fans and critics alike. Just before this recording, Modest Mouse had gained traction with their earlier work, 'The Lonesome Crowded West,' establishing a solid underground following. What’s particularly intriguing about this live performance is that it came at a time when they were sharing the stage with rising acts like The Shins and Black Heart Procession, showcasing a moment of synergy in the indie rock scene. Watching this video, you can witness the raw energy and experimentation that defined their sound during this pivotal period.
