Modest Mouse

In July 2003, Modest Mouse was riding high on the success of their breakthrough album, 'Good News for People Who Love Bad News,' which had been released just a few months prior. This live recording at the Diamond Ballroom captures the band’s raw energy and artistic evolution, showcasing their unique sound that blends rock with an experimental edge. Interestingly, 'Good News' would go on to earn them their first Grammy nomination, marking a significant moment in their career. At this point, they were not just a cult favorite; they were becoming a household name, known for their quirky lyrics and catchy melodies. This performance of 'Third Planet' exemplifies their ability to connect with the crowd, creating a memorable experience that resonated far beyond the concert hall.
