Modest Mouse

On September 25, 2001, Modest Mouse delivered an electrifying performance at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta, which is captured in the live recording of 'Teeth Like God's Shoeshine.' By this time, the band had just released their album 'The Moon & Antarctica' in June 2000, which marked a pivotal moment in their career. This album showcased a sonic evolution, blending their signature indie rock sound with more atmospheric elements. It's fascinating to think how this live performance was an embodiment of their growing popularity, as they ventured into more ambitious musical territories. Notably, the band was transitioning from cult status to mainstream attention, a journey highlighted by tracks like 'Float On.' The energy from that night carried not just the essence of their new work but also the buzz surrounding their evolving artistry.
