Modest Mouse

On July 22, 2012, Modest Mouse delivered an electrifying performance of "This Devil's Workday" at the Firefly Music Festival. At this juncture in their career, the band had just released their album "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank" in 2007, which included the hit single "Float On." Remarkably, this album marked a high point for the band, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200. Interestingly, this was also a time of transition for Modest Mouse, as they faced lineup changes, including the departure of longtime guitarist Johnny Marr. This live recording not only showcases their distinctive sound—characterized by a blend of indie rock with complex lyrical themes—but also symbolizes their enduring energy and innovation, drawing fans in with their unique stage presence.
