Modest Mouse

On May 29, 2011, Modest Mouse graced the stage at the Sasquatch! Music Festival held at the iconic Gorge Amphitheatre. By this time, the band was riding high on the success of their 2007 album, "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank," which included the hit "Float On." This album marked a significant period for them, as it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, encapsulating a blend of indie rock charm and broader appeal. You might find it interesting that this performance came just as they were preparing to return to the studio after a lengthy five-year hiatus, exploring new sounds and crafting their sixth studio album. Clearly, this live performance showcased their evolution while still holding onto that raw energy and emotional resonance that fans love.
