Modest Mouse

In the summer of 2009, Modest Mouse was riding high on the critical acclaim of their fifth studio album, 'We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank,' which was released just a couple of years prior. This live performance at The Ale House in Kingston, Canada, captures the band at a pivotal moment, just as they were solidifying their presence in the alternative rock scene. The album includes hits like 'Dashboard' and 'Float On,' which propelled them into mainstream success. An interesting tidbit is that this live show featured the band integrating their unique blend of bouncy rhythms and introspective lyrics, showcasing their evolution since forming in 1992. The energy of their shows during this era highlights not only their artistic growth but also their connection to an audience hungry for authenticity within the indie rock genre.
