Modest Mouse Live Performance of King Rat at Firefly Festival

Venue: The Woodlands of Dover International Speedway Location: Dover, Delaware, United States Date: June 19, 2015

In June 2015, Modest Mouse took the stage at the Firefly Festival, delivering an electrifying live version of "King Rat." This performance came on the heels of their album "Strangers to Ourselves," which had been released just a few months earlier in March 2015. The album marked their return after a considerable hiatus, showcasing the band's distinctive sound and lyrical themes that fans had come to love. Interestingly, this was the first album to feature new guitarist and notable producer Jim Fairchild, giving the band's sound a fresh twist. The live energy at the festival resonated well with the audience, reflecting the band's evolution while staying true to their roots. Experiencing a Modest Mouse show, especially during this comeback period, highlighted the band's unique blend of alternative rock and jam influences, and fans were undeniably excited as they rocked out to one of their beloved tracks.
