Modest Mouse

In 2016, when this live recording of 'Wicked Campaign' was captured at the Iroquois Amphitheater, Modest Mouse was riding high on the wave of their album 'Strangers to Ourselves,' which came out in March 2015. This was their first studio album in over eight years and a significant moment in their career, marking a return after a lengthy hiatus. Interestingly, the band showcased their evolution in sound on this album, merging their classic indie rock roots with more experimental elements. 'Wicked Campaign,' a standout track, embodies their signature lyrical depth and quirky musicality, reminding listeners why Modest Mouse has remained a beloved fixture in alternative rock. Notably, their live performances during this period reflected their dynamic presence, engaging the crowd and breathing new life into their extensive catalog.
