Modest Mouse

In July 2010, Modest Mouse was riding high on the wave of their fifth studio album, "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank," released in 2007. This album, featuring the hit single "Float On," marked a significant point in their career, as it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, showcasing their growing popularity. By the time they performed "Dashboard" at the Pitchfork Music Festival later that summer, the band was solidifying their status in the indie rock scene. The performance not only highlighted their energetic sound but also reflected their evolution; the mix of artful lyricism and eclectic instrumentation drew fans into a unique sonic world. Fun fact: the band's lineup included Johnny Marr, former guitarist of The Smiths, who added a fresh layer to their intriguing sound during this period, making concerts like the one in St. Louis truly memorable.
