Modest Mouse
Modest Mouse Live Performance at Les Schwab Amphitheater, Bend, Oregon
In September 2017, Modest Mouse was riding high on the wave of their latest album, "Strangers to Ourselves," which had been released in 2015. This marked a significant moment in their career, as it was their first album after a decade-long hiatus. The Bend live recording captures their electrifying energy just two years after the album's debut, showcasing a mix of new and classic tracks that resonate with their loyal fanbase. It's fascinating how this band, known for their distinct sound and introspective lyrics, evolved over time. By this point, they were celebrated not just for their music, but also for their dynamic stage presence and the intimate connection they created with their audience. It's these moments that truly highlight why Modest Mouse has a special place in indie rock history.
