About

Having recently completed another successful run with Pixies and Cat Power, Modest Mouse continues to prove themselves to be one of the most consistent live acts today. Modest Mouse released their highly anticipated new album, The Golden Casket, on June 25, 2021 via Epic Records. The Golden Casket heralds another new chapter in the GRAMMY® Award-nominated multi platinum band's unpredictable evolution. Produced with Dave Sardy and Jacknife Lee in Los Angeles and in Modest Mouse's studio in Portland, the album hovers in the liminal space between raw punk power and experimental studio science, frontman Isaac Brock explores themes ranging from the degradation of our psychic landscapes and invisible technology, to fatherhood. The twelve tracks behave like amorphous organisms, undergoing dramatic mutations and mood swings that speak to the chronic tug-of-war between hope and despair that plays out in Brock's head.

  • Modest Mouse Engages the Listener

    by jonnyc on 2009-08-23Sound Academy - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Modest Mouse has an unimaginably unexpected stage presence, one that does not seem compatible with the music they sell on CD and Vinyl. Regardless, their live performance is riddled with an on stage and engaging energy that encourages feelings of enthusiasm towards the sound like few other bands. With their refined and catchy sound, Modest Mouse not only makes exceptional use of the two drummer live set up, but also allows for a listening experience that seems further progressed compared to their recorded material.

  • Modest Mouse Must see

    by Gordo87 on 2009-08-23Sound Academy - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Awesome show, greattttt atmosphere. Probably one of my favorite bands before the show and that experience made them that much better. Great venue and hopefully they come back again, amazing time.

  • Modest Mouse is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!

    by NoNo48 on 2009-08-23Sound Academy - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    This band has so much to give and they did their best...the venue was too small...and very crowded....the songs and musicianship were superb...next time better place ....PLEASE!!!!!!!!

  • modest mouse blew me away!!

    by littlemotel on 2009-08-23Sound Academy - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    The concert was simply amazing! The opening band perfectly set the stage for Modest Mouse. MM played a perfect balance of old and new material, and played a great length set. They were all extremely strong live, both vocally and instrumentally! They integrated a wide variety of instruments into the show! I will without question be seeing them on their next tour!

  • Great Show

    by AnikaGK on 2009-08-23Sound Academy - TorontoRating: 4 out of 5

    Great show last night, lots of energy. Sounded amazing. There were some tracks I would have liked to have heard, but overall an awesome night.

  • Modest Mouse is King

    by Fernando69 on 2009-08-22Sound Academy - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    first time at the sound academy, cool venue! The band was a little off at the begining but it seemed they were making up the set list on the fly. it was a great mix of newer and older mouse. was disapointed not to see Marr on guitar but the show was all around amazing. looking forward to more tour dates in the area!!

  • ROCK MY WORLD

  • Modest Mouse-My first time

    by ModestGirl on 2009-08-22The Sound Acadamy - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    To see Modest Mouse play live has been on my list of things to do and I can finally cross it off. Although I will definitely go to as many of their shows as possible, after what I had seen last night. I have heard of many bands who sound terrible live, and that was a fear I had when I went to see Modest Mouse. I did not want my opinion of them to be shattered and it most certainly was not. They were incredible! I love the fact that they are antic free and do very little talking in between songs. Very much like The Beatles performance style. Modest Mouse's concert last night was fantastic and only made me excited and hungry to hear more music from them.

  • Modest Mouse = love

    by nic0le on 2009-08-22Sound Academy - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Such an amazing concert, such an amazing band!!! Would definitely see them again, too bad today's concert is sold out.

  • Marrdest Mouse out with the old

    by MarloweMouse on 2009-08-22Sound Academy - TorontoRating: 3 out of 5

    A good show for anyone new to the band, but for old time fans it was easily a disapointment. Starting off with Satin in a Coffin, followed by a string of their more recent songs, filled with energy and flare, only to be broken by some older songs which they seemed less then enthusiastic playing.Almost completely ignoring their greatest album, only shit luck was played from the wide variety of fan favourites to be found on The Lonesome Crowded West. The show was ended with spitting venom, which after a bit of jamming led into I came as a rat for a nice surprising finish. A few minutes later and Modest Mouse is again out on stage, for the encore. Float On and Talking Shit About a Pretty Sunset for an excellent finish to a less then amazing concert experience.

  • Were they dead, or was I sleeping?

    by inlikealion on 2009-08-22Sound Academy - TorontoRating: 3 out of 5

    Aside from their choice of setlist and long pause in between songs, this was a really good show. Modest Mouse played a broad scope of their material with something from nearly every cd. I was most surprised that only one song from their brand new EP made the cut. I was waiting to hear Autumn Beds the whole night. They brought the energy to the show, but let their momentum slide with super-extended versions of their newer songs, including a 12 minute rendition of the already long Spitting Venom. All in all, for one of my favourite bands, I was a little disappointed.

  • I adore Modest Mouse, but this show was not great

    by aname on 2009-08-22Sound Academy - TorontoRating: 3 out of 5

    Can I say first that Modest Mouse is hands down my favorite band, I've been into them for years, and I've seen them 4 times including this show. I was disappointed. Now, to be fair, none of the shows I've seen have blown me away, the guys in the band don't seem to be all that enthusiastic about playing live. I get that, because the album stuff is really layered and complex...weird sounds and things that don't necessarily translate into a live show BUT...at the very least, know the lyrics to the songs you choose to play! There were a few times when Issac seemed to blank out on lyrics, and mumbled something or sang lyrics from another part of the song. I've never seen that before, and it was kind of disillusioning. By the second half, it was better. That aside, set list was pretty good, a lot off We Were Dead...and Good News...plus the new EP. A few from The Moon and Antarctica...It would have been nice to hear a few more from the really old albums...but that never happens and I only say it because you always want to hear the entire discography when your favorite band is up. Oh...the lights were TERRIBLE. Just awful. blinding flashes after every song, and random colors and patterns that were way too bright and didn't fit the mood at all. Sound Academy is a good place to see a show, sound was good, great sight lines, bars everywhere, lots of parking. All in all, I left feeling pretty disappointed, but it was a decent show and I'm really picky so...maybe not the best judge. I'll see them next time they come around.

  • I LOVE MODEST MOUSE

    by krysten15 on 2009-08-22Sound Academy - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    They were unforgetable. I was just blown away and left speechless. I could have stayed there all night and listen to them. If you've never heard of them, get on youtube fasssstt! They're absolutely amazing and I'll definetely see them again.

  • Modest Mouse

    by wolves on 2009-08-22Sound Academy - TorontoRating: 3 out of 5

    Saw Modest Mouse at Sound Academy very good venue, great sounds lots of room, awsome patio. I have been a fan of modest mouse since late 90's, love their stuff. Modest Mouse performance was very good, I did not want to complain but here goes, the set list and length of some songs are questionable. Some of the songs went on for almost 10 mins, and when there are 6 band members smashing all the instruments (the entire music class instruments} the music was lost and it just became noise and boring. The songs that they did play my favorite "parting of a sensory" and talking shit about a pretty sunset, dashboard, where awsome. I'm not just a fan that likes their radio play but maybe im not hardcore and like the filler music on the cd's. Unfortunatly I wouldn't go see them again. But I would recomend to see them once.

  • Modest Mouse, I've seen better.

    by generalbeard on 2009-08-22Sound Academy - TorontoRating: 2 out of 5

    The band wasn't playing tight at all. Isaac Brock did sing pretty good, compared to their albums. I found his guitar playing to not be that impressive, especially when it was out of key.

  • Modest Mouse has great talent

    by Eron on 2009-08-21Miscellaneous Venues Kingston - KingstonRating: 4 out of 5

    It was a good show (hot because of the venue). They are very musically diverse. I think they should have played their hit "Float On", you need to play the awesome songs for the fans. That part was disappointing.

  • It was alright

    by TheDrake on 2009-08-21Miscellaneous Venues Kingston - KingstonRating: 3 out of 5

    The music was good but the players themselves were super-boring to watch. They didn't seem to care if they were there or not. The place was way over-sold and very sweaty. Give me a punk band that's grateful that 50 people showed up to support them any day.

  • Modest Mouse was spectacular!

    by xxgreenthumb on 2009-08-21Miscellaneous Venues Kingston - KingstonRating: 5 out of 5

    The concert was awesome! The Alehouse was a good place for the concert, but I do believe it was oversold. It was so crowded it was stupid and of course it was hard to see and get a good spot. Mind you I'm used to going to concerts with tons of people but this was bad, bouncers yelling at people to get off the stairs or they'd kick you out and then as soon as you moved someone was right in you're spot. I ended up getting a good spot but I had to be one of those who pushed their way through unhappy people which is never fun, and of course I felt bad for stealing their view. I had one chick who kept trying to push me from behind and shoving her fists into my back. But hey what can you do?! I just tried to ignore felt the music and danced and watched the boys play. They were awesome it was my first time seeing them and I wasn't disappointed, amazing live. I almost didn't think they were gunna come out for the encore, even as much as everyone screamed, and I know I was one of the loudest cause I'd sometimes be yelling on my own. I can't wait to see them again and I do recommend them you won't be disappointed!
