Venue: Bader Field Location: Atlantic City, New Jersey, United States Date: June 23, 2012

In June 2012, Modest Mouse performed at the Governor's Ball in Atlantic City, presenting one of their standout tracks, "Paper Thin Walls." This performance came right after their 2007 album "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank," which showcased a blend of their signature indie rock sound with elements of alternative and even pop influences, marking a notable evolution in their style. By this time, the band was riding high on the success of their previous work, which featured their hit single "Float On." An interesting tidbit is that "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank" debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, further securing Modest Mouse's place in the indie music scene. This live gig at Bader Field was a fan favorite, capturing the band's energetic spirit and their ability to connect with audiences, reaffirming their status as a beloved staple in American rock.
