Modest Mouse

On September 25, 2001, Modest Mouse was riding a wave of growing acclaim, particularly following the release of their pivotal album, 'The Moon & Antarctica,' which dropped earlier that year. This album marked a significant leap for the band, showcasing their evolution from a cult favorite to a more mainstream presence in indie rock. At the time of this live recording in Atlanta, Modest Mouse was capturing the attention of fans with their engaging sound, enriched by Isaac Brock's distinctive voice and lyrical introspection. It's fascinating to note that this performance occurred just before the band exploded in popularity with hits like 'Float On,' solidifying their place in the music scene. This 2001 show reflects a thrilling moment in their journey, where their eclectic energy and melodic experimentation were just beginning to resonate with a wider audience.
