Modest Mouse

In 'Modest Mouse - Satellite Skin on David Letterman', recorded on March 19, 2009, the band showcased their unique blend of indie rock and quirky storytelling just as they were gaining tremendous traction. This performance occurred just before the release of their EP 'No One's First and You're Next,' which dropped in August 2009. It's a notable point in their journey, following their 2007 album 'We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank,' which reached number one on the Billboard 200, marking a significant milestone in their career. Their sound, characterized by Isaac Brock’s distinctive vocals and lyrics that often touch on existential themes, captures the essence of their artistic evolution. This live performance not only highlights their energetic stage presence but also the anticipation surrounding new material that would resonate with fans and solidify their place in the indie rock scene.
