Modest Mouse
Modest Mouse Performance of Cowboy Dan at Coachella 2013
In 2013, when Modest Mouse delivered their electrifying performance of 'Cowboy Dan' at Coachella, they were riding high on the success of their album 'We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank', released in 2007. This album marked a pivotal point in their career, reaching the top of the Billboard 200 and becoming their most commercially successful project to date. The band's eclectic sound and Isaac Brock’s distinctively raw lyrics resonated deeply with audiences, exemplifying their unique blend of indie rock. Interestingly, by the time of the Coachella performance, Modest Mouse was in a transitional phase, with new material in the works that would later culminate in their 2015 album 'Strangers to Ourselves'. Their live shows during this era were characterized by a vibrant energy that enthralled fans, making moments like the one captured in this video truly memorable.
