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.
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."
They put on a great show. The marvellous acoustics at the jubilee made it hard to hear the speaking though. Too loud. They need to play outdoor and not have seats in the way of dancing.
Great show, great venue. Beers were flowing without limit. Modest Mouse we’re awesome and played some fan favourites. 5 stars all the way
Good energy from the band. Overall, the instruments drowned out the vocals and it was barely audible. It was just a mash of guitars and percussion. The light show was good. For a small theatre, there was too much distortion and Isaac was inaudible for the most part.
The musicians were amazing but what really made my experience was the staff at the Jubilee who were absolutely incredible. They worked hard to ensure everyone at the show got to have a good experience!
Absolutely phenomenal! The energy. The show was so good! If you get a chance to go. Go!
Great show ! The lighting was excellent, and the sound was really exceptional, as it usually is in the Jubilee Auditorium. I love watching concerts here, no bad seats and the sound is the best !
Modest Mouse put on an amazing show! I haven’t been so moved ever. I will continue to see them anytime and every time they come to Calgary!
I absolutely loved the show. It really showcased the variety of their music. They had different set lists for Edmonton and Calgary and dug deep for true fans!! Loved the merch and basically just had a wonderful night overall.
I was the guy with the poster in the front row. It was a great venue, the acoustics were awesome, and the whole all around experience including when Isaac Brock talked to me were all amazing! The set list was great, they played all my favorites!
We were told 7 is when the concert started typically meaning that’s when the doors open, and we expected this. However, after we were left standing for 45-60 min until the opener started and after a great performance from them, we were left standing for another 45 minutes waiting for Modest Mouse’s set. Great performance, though if at all possible would’ve like quicker set up times.
Yukon blonde and Modest Mouse put on one hell of a show. The venue was perfect too.
Modest Mouse is as brilliant and wonderful as ever!! Union Hall is also now a superb venue for live music
This was an absolutely AMAZING show!! One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to & I’ve been to hundreds! From the opener, (Dark Center of the Universe) to the end of the six song encore (Shit Luck), Modest Mouse kept the energy going at the highest level & although it was supposed to be a seated venue, everybody was on their feet, dancing as if their lives depended on it! It’s now 4 days later & I’m still basking in the afterglow!
This was an absolutely AMAZING show!! One of the new concerts I’ve ever been to (& I’ve been to a lot)!! From the very beginning, (Dark Center of the Universe) to the last song of the 6 song encore (Shit Luck), the energy was kept at a very high level & although it was supposed to be a seated venue, everybody was up, dancing as if their lives depended on it!! It’s now 4 days later & I’m still basking in the afterglow!!
I've waited 15 years to see Modest Mouse and it surpassed my already high expectations. They were amazing, Isaac Brock was in rare form, and the Orpheum venue and staff were fantastic. I highly recommend going there for future shows. The Ticketmaster buying experience was easy and the ability to add digital tickets to my phone wallet was super convenient and made the entry very smooth.
Show was great. Only part that wasn't the speakers were aweful! The music was so loud, you couldn't hear him properly. Many songs he sung was muffled. The VIP part was cool, hes a funny chilled guy.
First time at History and first time seeing Modest Mouse. Lyrics were tough to make out on the lower floor - but acoustics were amazing once we went up to the lower balcony… It’s a bit sad to see the generation of today just standing there watching life through a phone instead of being in the moment and connecting to the show…Jack White was on to something w the device bags!!! WAKE UP you damn clones!!
Great venue. The sound was perfect and you could easily see from all over the room. The band covered so many decades of material. I have been wanting to see these guys for a while and I am so glad I finally got the chance. So good :)
Awesome venue and Modest Mouse played a great show!!
Absolutely loved seeing Modest Mouse at History Toronto. Can’t wait til they come back to Toronto!
