Modest Mouse

In November 2016, when Modest Mouse performed "Trailer Trash" live at the Knitting Factory in Spokane, they were riding high on the release of their album "Strangers to Ourselves," which came out earlier that year. This album marked a notable return after a lengthy hiatus, since their last studio effort, "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank," dropped in 2007. A neat tidbit about this performance is how it showcases their ability to blend introspective lyrics with a raw, energetic sound, reflecting their evolution as a band. The live rendition captures that distinctive Modest Mouse vibe, with Isaac Brock's trademark vocals leading the charge. It’s interesting to see how tracks from their earlier works, like "Trailer Trash" from the 1997 album "The Lonesome Crowded West," still resonate with audiences, bridging the gap between their past and present.
