Venue: Vogue Theatre Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Date: February 2, 2001

On February 2, 2001, Modest Mouse performed at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, showcasing their signature blend of indie rock and introspection. At this point in their career, they had just released 'The Moon & Antarctica' in 2000, an album that marked a significant turning point for the band. It was their first major label release, signaling their growing popularity beyond the underground scene. This album introduced a more polished sound while retaining their lyrical depth, exploring themes of existentialism and nature. Interestingly, the live performance captures the energy of a band on the brink of wider recognition, with tracks that would resonate in the hearts of fans for years to come. It's a fascinating snapshot of a band evolving in real-time, combining raw emotion with innovative rhythms—a true testament to their unique artistry.
