Modest Mouse

In the live recording of 'Float On' from the Into the Great Wide Open Festival in September 2010, Modest Mouse was riding high on the success of their 2007 album, 'We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank.' This album, which marked a significant milestone as it topped the Billboard charts, introduced a broader audience to their unique blend of rock and introspective lyrics. By 2010, the band was delving deeper into their evolving sound, showcasing their ability to captivate live audiences with high-energy performances. It's interesting to note that their lineup saw a shift over the years, particularly with guitarist Johnny Marr's involvement during this period, reflecting a dynamic evolution in their music. This live performance not only underscores their well-established presence in the indie rock scene but also highlights a moment where the band was creatively vibrant and connecting powerfully with fans.
