Modest Mouse

In 2013, Modest Mouse was riding high on the wave of their indie rock legacy, having just released their album 'Strangers to Ourselves' in 2015, which was their first studio effort in over a decade. However, at the time of the Coachella performance, they were in a bit of a transitional phase. This show at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California was significant—it highlighted their unique sound and stage presence that so many fans adore. As the band performed "3rd Planet," a track from their acclaimed 1997 album 'The Lonesome Crowded West,' it showcased not just their musical evolution but also a certain nostalgia for their earlier work. Fun fact—Core members Isaac Brock and Jeremiah Green have navigated the ups and downs of the music industry for years, and the Coachella stage offered them a moment to reconnect with longtime fans while attracting new listeners.
