We were lucky enough to get tickets to Wendesday's surprise instanltly sold out Modest Mouse show at the South Lake Union Naval Reserve Building. It was amazing to see the now hugely popular band in a gymnasium with about 1000 other people. We got to stand up close by the side of the stage. The band, now a six piece, sounded incredible. Ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr is now in the band and it looked like he was having a blast. The set drew heavily from the commercial breakthrough Good News for People Who Love Bad News and the, just released the day before, new album We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank. In fact, the only pre-Epic song they played was set highlight Doin' The Cockroach. Other highlights included Paper Thin Walls and an extended Tiny Cities Made of Ashes. The band sounded so good and looked like they knew how good they are. Go see this band if you have the chance -this line up in Modest Mouse All Stars, the MVPs of rock (LOL). We're totally going to the show at the Paramount on April 15th.
