Modest Mouse

In 2012, when Modest Mouse delivered an electrifying performance of 'Missed the Boat' at The Governor's Ball in New York City, they were riding high on their 2007 album, 'We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank.' This album marked a significant moment in their career, as it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and included hit singles like 'Float On.' Interestingly, this live recording came during a period of transition for the band, as they had gained wider recognition but were still known for their distinctive blend of indie rock and thoughtful lyricism. The Governor's Ball performance showcased not just their musical chops but also their ability to connect with fans, proving they were still a formidable force in the indie scene even five years after their last studio effort.
