Modest Mouse

In May 2012, when Modest Mouse performed 'The Whale Song' live at Stanford's Frost Amphitheater, they were riding high on the waves of their album 'We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank,' released in 2007. This album marked a significant milestone in their career, featuring hits like 'Float On' and showcasing their unique blend of indie rock and experimental sounds. Despite the four-year gap between albums, the band had maintained a loyal fanbase eager for their return. Interestingly, Isaac Brock, the band's frontman, brought his signature humor to the performance, engaging the audience and making the concert feel intimate, despite the larger setting. The live rendition of 'The Whale Song' captured the essence of Modest Mouse's ability to combine lyrical depth with a lively performance, reminding fans why they fell in love with their music in the first place.
