Modest Mouse

In July 2003, when Modest Mouse performed 'One Chance' at the Diamond Ballroom in Oklahoma City, they were riding high off the success of their critically acclaimed album 'Good News for People Who Love Bad News,' released just the year prior. This album marked a turning point for the band, as it included huge hits like 'Float On' and propelled them into mainstream recognition. Interestingly, the live recording captures the essence of their raw energy during a moment when they were still cultivating their sound— melding indie rock with elements of punk and folk. The energy of that evening was palpable, and it's a beautiful reminder of how their music resonated with audiences during a transformative period in their career, as they were on the brink of wider commercial appeal while staying true to their artistic roots.
