Modest Mouse

In September 2002, Modest Mouse was riding high on the waves of success with their album "The Moon & Antarctica," released in 2000. The album was a critical darling, showcasing their eclectic sound and lyrical depth, blending indie rock with a touch of existential musings. By the time they performed "Teeth Like God’s Shoeshine" at Bumbershoot, the band was attracting a growing fanbase, thanks to their unique sound and flair for live performances. During this period, they were recognized for their dynamic stage presence, and this live recording reflects that raw, energetic quality that had begun to define their concerts. Fun fact: the band's breakthrough was significantly bolstered when "Float On," from their subsequent album "Good News for People Who Love Bad News," rose to popularity shortly afterward, solidifying their place in the indie rock scene.
