Modest Mouse

On August 15, 2002, Modest Mouse performed live at the Diamond Ballroom in Oklahoma City, showcasing their distinctive sound during a pivotal moment in their career. By this time, the band had just released their major-label debut, "Good News for People Who Love Bad News," in 2004, but prior to this recording, they were still riding high on the wave of their earlier album "The Moon & Antarctica" from 2000. This was a crucial period for Modest Mouse as they were gaining popularity and honing their unique blend of indie rock and alternative music. Notably, the song "Dramamine," featured in this recording, is a fan favorite that captures their signature introspective lyrics and complex melodies, a hallmark of their style. It's fascinating to see how live recordings from this era reflect the band's evolution just before they became a household name.
