Modest Mouse

In July 2014, when Modest Mouse performed 'I Came As A Rat' at the Pemberton Festival, they were riding a wave of renewed energy and creativity. This live recording came on the heels of their album 'Strangers to Ourselves,' which was a significant release in 2015, the first after a long gap since their previous 'We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank' in 2007. The band’s eclectic sound, marked by Isaac Brock's signature vocals and introspective lyrics, was well-received at the festival, drawing loyal fans and newcomers alike. Known for their engaging live performances, Modest Mouse combined elements of indie rock and experimental sounds, and this show highlighted their evolution while hinting at the fresh direction they later explored. Interestingly, the band’s lineup has changed over the years, but their core essence remains, captivating audiences throughout their career.
