Modest Mouse Performs 'Dashboard' Live at The Uptown Theatre in KCMO
On July 13, 2014, Modest Mouse delivered an electrifying performance at the Uptown Theatre in Kansas City, showcasing their unique sound and captivating stage presence. Just a year prior, they had released their album 'Strangers to Ourselves,' marking their first full-length studio effort in over a decade. This period was significant for the band as they evolved their musical style while still holding onto their indie rock roots. The live rendition of 'Dashboard' reflects this growth, blending introspective lyrics with a rich instrumental backdrop—a hallmark of Modest Mouse's artistry. Interestingly, the band had gone through a lineup change shortly before this concert, with keyboardist and guitarist Jim Fairchild joining the crew. This shift added fresh energy to their performances, making the live experience even more engaging for fans. It's moments like these that encapsulate the band's resilience and their ability to connect deeply through music.
