Modest Mouse

On October 6, 2000, Modest Mouse performed live at the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre, a pivotal moment in their career following the 1997 release of 'The Lonesome Crowded West.' That album solidified their presence in the indie rock scene, showcasing their unique blend of introspective lyrics and eclectic sounds. By this time, the band was gaining traction, yet remained under the radar compared to mainstream acts. Interestingly, this performance captures the raw energy and intimacy typical of their early shows, reflecting their journey before the breakout success of 'Good News for People Who Love Bad News' in 2004. Fans who were there witnessed the transition of a band on the brink, preparing to make waves in the indie music world.
