Modest Mouse

On June 8, 2017, Modest Mouse performed live at the Diamond Ballroom in Oklahoma City, offering fans a taste of their eclectic sound and emotionally charged lyrics. At this point in their career, the band had recently released their album "Strangers to Ourselves" in 2015, which marked their first album in nearly a decade. This release signified a rebirth and a reflective moment for the band, as they explored themes of change and longing, with the lead single "Lampshades on Fire" capturing their signature alt-rock vibe. The live recording of "Bukowski" showcases the band’s ability to blend raw energy with introspective storytelling, creating an atmosphere that’s both electric in the moment and deeply resonant. Interestingly, the concert came just as the band was re-establishing their connection with audiences after a long hiatus, reminding fans why they fell in love with their music in the first place.
