Modest Mouse

On May 19, 2012, Modest Mouse delivered an unforgettable live performance at Stanford's Frost Amphitheater. By this time, the band was riding high on the success of their 2007 album, 'We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank.' That album marked a significant moment in their career, featuring the hit 'Float On,' which truly catapulted them into the mainstream. Interestingly enough, this live recording showcases the band embracing their eclectic sound, marrying jagged guitar riffs with introspective lyrics—a signature style they've honed over the years. The energy in the venue was electric, as fans were treated to a mix of older favorites and newer tracks, highlighting how Modest Mouse's evolution as artists continues to resonate powerfully with audiences. It’s worth noting that even in 2012, their ability to connect on such an emotional level remained intact, showcasing their lasting impact in the indie rock scene.
