Modest Mouse

On September 15, 2001, Modest Mouse performed live at Canes Bar & Grill in San Diego, showcasing their unique sound that had been evolving since the mid-'90s. By this time, they had recently released the album "The Moon & Antarctica" in 2000, which marked a pivotal moment in their career, introducing a more expansive sound and lyrical depth. This album received critical acclaim, allowing them to transition from indie darlings to a wider audience. Interestingly, their performance of 'What People Are Made Of' captured the essence of their live energy and creativity during this period. This recording serves as a snapshot of them right before their ascent into mainstream consciousness, with a cult following that still thrives today. Experiencing them live, especially during this critical era, highlights their ability to blend indie rock with poignant storytelling.
