About
MODEST MOUSE IN CONCERT:
Indie rock veterans Modest Mouse enjoy a level of mainstream success that few other indie acts can touch. While the band's intelligent lyrics and expertly crafted songs made them critical darlings in the early '00s, their eclectic live shows earned them legions of fans. With their first new album in five years due out in 2014, Modest Mouse are gearing up for headlining slots at the Boston Calling and Shaky Knees music festivals. Fans lucky enough to catch the band at these rare appearances will be among the first to hear material from the new album — performed alongside all of their greatest hits, of course.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Formed in Washington in 1993, Modest Mouse found an early home on legendary indie labels K Records and Sub Pop. After moving to Up Records for their 1996 debut full-length, the band achieved breakthrough success with 1997's Lonesome Crowded West, which drew praise from critics and earned them a cult following. While 2000's The Moon & Antarctica was another success, it was 2004's Good News for People Who Love Bad News that really broke things wide open — the album went multi-platinum and brought the band their first chart exposure with hit singles "Float On" and "Ocean Breathes Salty." In 2007, the band's fifth studio album We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank landed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, effectively rendering their indie status null and securing their position as a festival headline-caliber act.
Previously, Modest Mouse has sold out venues to capacity, like Tabernacle and the Rose Bowl.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"They were honestly amazing. They played with so much energy, played about 20 songs, and absolutely tore the place down. A must see if you get a chance."
"The sounds, the lights, and the crowd were unbelievable. Isaac really blows your mind, his beautiful music and lyrics had the entire crowd swaying with their eyes closed. It was an event I will never forget..."
"Modest Mouse put on an amazing show. Every song sounded even better than the studio version."

by Dator58596 on 8/23/09Sound Academy - TorontoI was just expecting a half decent time with Modest Mouse because I hadn't heard anything stellar about their live shows. They were really energetic and I could feel it in the crowd as they did their thing. I was into some of their stuff when hearing it live that I don't like listening to on cd. They know how to rock out. I though it was cool they had 2 drummers. They also used a lot of instruments, even if only for a fade out of a song... ie banjo, violin, chello, etc. The only criticism I have is they didn't play Float On... MM concert is recommended.

by Budos on 8/23/09Sound Academy - TorontoSolid show - very impressed they pulled off the sound of their records live. They used the banjo, stand up bass, horns etc to fill out their sound - 2 drummers live was amazing!

by thedude716 on 8/23/09Sound Academy - TorontoThey played very well. Playing songs from every album they've released. It was really outstanding. I was really surprised as to some of the older songs they played. It was really good, opening with Gravity Rides Everything, and Closing Fly Trapped Jar. The Encore also included Dramamine, and Broke. Overall, it was an outstanding show.

by 2ndrowbalcony on 8/21/09Miscellaneous Venues Kingston - KingstonThe music was played but not expressed in the lively manner I expected from such an energetic band. They all just kind of stood there.
