Modest Mouse

In the heart of the Sasquatch! Music Festival on May 29, 2011, Modest Mouse delivered an electrifying performance of "Shit Luck," making waves at the iconic Gorge Amphitheatre. At this time, the band was riding high after the 2007 release of their critically acclaimed album, "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank." This album featured the hit single "Float On," which helped elevate their status in the indie rock scene. By 2011, fans were eagerly anticipating new material, with whispers of an upcoming album surfacing. What makes this performance particularly special is the passionate energy radiating from both the band and the audience, a hallmark of Modest Mouse concerts, where the connection feels profoundly palpable. Their unique sound—a blend of punk rock, folk, and experimental melodies—shone brightly, reinforcing their reputation as one of the most innovative bands in the alternative music landscape.
