Modest Mouse Live Performance of 'Heart of Mine' at Stanford Concert
On May 19, 2012, Modest Mouse performed a live rendition of their new song "Heart of Mine" at the Frost Amphitheater in Stanford. At this point in their career, the band was riding the wave of their 2007 album, "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank," which had solidified their standing in the indie rock scene. This performance is particularly notable as fans were eager to hear fresh material, indicative of the band’s evolving sound. It also came after a hiatus, during which Modest Mouse had taken time to experiment with new ideas and line-ups, including the addition of former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr. The anticipation surrounding this new song hints at the band's ongoing influence and their ability to resonate with audiences, weaving in newfound elements while still staying true to their unique indie ethos.
