Modest Mouse Live Performance of King Rat in Tampa, FL
In 2016, Modest Mouse was riding the wave of their album, "Strangers to Ourselves," which released the year before. This marked a notable return after a long hiatus, their first studio album since 2007's "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank." In Tampa, they delivered a lively performance of "King Rat," a song that showcases their unique blend of art rock and indie pop. Interestingly, the song originally debuted on their 2009 EP "No One's First, and You're Next," and has become a fan favorite due to its infectious energy and poignant lyrics. The band's evolution is evident in this live setting, as they mix new tracks with cherished classics, proving that their sound remains both timeless and refreshingly relevant. This performance illuminated their resilience, adapting to a changing music landscape while retaining their signature quirkiness.
