Modest Mouse

At the time of the live recording of "Wild Pack of Family Dogs" on November 14, 2003, Modest Mouse was riding high on the waves of their acclaimed album, "Good News for People Who Love Bad News," which had been released earlier that same year. This album marked a turning point for the band, propelling them into a wider recognition with its hit singles like "Float On" and "Ocean Breeze Salty." Interestingly, the recording at Albuquerque's Sunshine Theater captures the raw, energetic essence of Modest Mouse's live performances, a hallmark of their appeal. Also noteworthy is how the band's eclectic blend of indie rock, punctuated by Isaac Brock's distinctive voice, creates an intimate atmosphere despite the increasing size of their audience. This moment in their career showcases not just their musical talent, but also their ability to connect with fans in real time, turning each performance into a memorable experience.
