Modest Mouse

On September 23, 2019, Modest Mouse performed 'Lampshades on Fire' live at the Pepsi Center in Denver. This performance came after the release of their album 'Strangers to Ourselves,' which dropped in 2015. Interestingly, 'Lampshades on Fire' was one of the standout tracks from this album, embodying the band's signature blend of catchy hooks and introspective lyrics. By 2019, the band had matured significantly in their sound, melding complexity with accessibility, which showcases their evolution from the rawness of their earlier work in the '90s. It's a fascinating journey, really—how the band, originally seen as part of the indie rock scene, has managed to carve out a unique space for themselves that resonates just as strongly with long-time fans as it does with newer listeners. The live energy of this performance perfectly illustrates that connection.
