Modest Mouse

In July 2014, Modest Mouse was fresh off the release of their highly anticipated album, "Strangers to Ourselves," which came out just about a year later in 2015. This moment encapsulated a pivotal time in their career, marking their return after a lengthy hiatus since 2007's "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank." During the live recording of "Cowboy Dan" at Big Sky Brewing Company in Missoula, the energy was palpable; fans were eager to embrace the band's signature blend of indie rock and complex lyrical storytelling. It was a nostalgic setlist that echoed their earlier work while teasing the exciting direction they were headed. Fun fact: the band has always been known for its energetic live performances, and this show was no exception—the mix of old favorites and the buildup to new material created an atmosphere that felt both intimate and electric.
