Modest Mouse

On June 19, 2008, Modest Mouse delivered an electrifying performance at Madison Square Garden, opening for the legendary R.E.M. This live recording came after the band had released their album "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank" in 2007, which marked a significant point in their career, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200. This album showcased their distinctive blend of indie rock and art punk, with hits like "Float On" and "Dashboard" continuing to resonate with fans. Interestingly, during this period, Modest Mouse had also seen an evolution in its lineup, including the addition of guitarist Johnny Marr of The Smiths fame, further enriching their sound. This concert not only highlighted their growing popularity but also cemented their status as a force in the indie music scene.
