Modest Mouse

On September 29, 2001, Modest Mouse was riding high on the success of their album "The Moon & Antarctica," which had been released earlier that year. This album marked a significant turning point for the band, showcasing their shift toward a more atmospheric sound filled with introspective lyrics and expansive instrumentation. The live recording of 'Broke' at Black Cat in Washington captures the raw energy and emotion that Modest Mouse was known for at the time, pulling audiences into their unique sonic world. Interestingly, just a year before this performance, the band was relatively unknown, but 'The Moon & Antarctica' not only gained them critical acclaim but also opened doors to a wider fanbase. This show is a testament to their burgeoning status and the captivating presence they held in live settings.
