Modest Mouse

In this captivating performance from February 2, 2001, at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, Modest Mouse had just released their breakthrough album 'The Moon & Antarctica' the previous year. This was a pivotal moment in their career, marking their transition to a larger audience. Fans were drawn in by Isaac Brock's distinct, expressive vocals and the band's eclectic sound—a blend of indie rock with touches of punk and experimental influences. It was a time when they were still refining their identity, brimming with raw energy that truly resonated in live settings, as seen in 'Doin' the Cockroach.' Beyond the music, interestingly, Brock was known for his candid onstage banter, which added an intimate layer to the high-energy performance that night, making every fan feel deeply connected to the experience.
