Modest Mouse

In the live recording from February 2, 2001, at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, Modest Mouse was riding high on the momentum of their album "The Moon & Antarctica," released in 2000. This album marked a significant shift in their sound, diving deeper into experimental rock and gaining them greater mainstream recognition. It's fascinating to note that before this pivotal album, they were known primarily within indie circles. Their live performances during this era showcased their electric energy and raw lyrical depth. The song "Dramamine" itself captures the band's signature blend of melancholy and existential reflection, encapsulating the emotional journey they’re famous for. Post this concert, the band continued to grow, eventually gaining a larger following and influencing a slew of indie bands that followed. Indeed, this performance highlighted a golden moment in their evolution.
