Modest Mouse

In this electrifying performance of "Doin' The Cockroach," Modest Mouse hit the stage on November 30, 2016, a time when their creative energy seemed hardly containable. Just a year prior, they released the album "Strangers to Ourselves," which marked their first studio album in nearly eight years. Fans were buzzing with excitement, as this album showcased a mix of their signature sound—twisted lyrics and layered instrumentals—while also exploring new musical territories. The band had been through significant changes, including the departure of longtime guitarist and collaborator, Jim Fairchild, which added an air of unpredictability to their live sets. The energy in Eugene echoes the renewed vigor of a band that was finding its footing again after some time away, reminding us all why we fell in love with their unique blend of indie rock in the first place.
