Modest Mouse

In June 2000, when this live recording was captured at the WOW Hall in Eugene, Oregon, Modest Mouse was riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album, 'The Moon & Antarctica,' which had been released just a few months prior, in March. This album marked a significant transition for the band, showcasing their unique blend of indie rock with more expansive, atmospheric sounds. Fans loved tracks like 'Float On' and '3rd Planet', and the live performances during this period were electrifying! Known for their intense energy, Isaac Brock's passionate stage presence is evident in this recording, with his signature style that includes screaming into the pickups. It’s fascinating to note how this live show reflects the band's dynamic journey through the indie music scene, capturing a moment when they were really starting to break through to a wider audience.
