Modest Mouse

In June 2012, when Modest Mouse performed 'Dashboard' live at The Governors Ball, they were riding high on the waves from their well-received album, 'We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank,' released in 2007. This album marked a significant point in their evolution, blending their signature indie rock sound with broader appeal, thanks in part to the prominent inclusion of guitarist Johnny Marr, formerly of The Smiths. 'Dashboard' is a fan favorite, showcasing Isaac Brock's distinctively introspective lyrics and vibrant instrumentation. During this period, the band was also gaining traction in the festival circuit, showcasing their electrifying live performances and cementing their status in the indie rock scene. The show at Governors Ball exemplified the energy and camaraderie of their live sets, reminding fans of why Modest Mouse has remained a beloved name in alternative music.
