I think Modest Mouse has officially moved out of the indie world and into the mainstream; last night the whole crowd was actually dancing, almost moshing, and there was actually a CROWDSURFER. Considering the awfulness of the venue, which has the worst sound possible, they sounded pretty good. Probably 90% of the set was from the new album, which was fine but I'd rather they'd spread it out just a bit. I realized during the show what the biggest difference between Good News . .. and their older stuff is- the songs on the new album are shorter, tighter pop songs and the older songs are much more sprawling. Doin' the Cockroach was by far the best song of the night, mostly because they went off rockin' out with it for like, 10 minutes, which was totally awesome. The Walkmen were also as enjoyable as they could be, considering the poor sound quality. The singer looked nothing like I'd expected; he had short blond hair and a polo shirt on, I was expecting shaggy brown hair and a black jean jacket or something. The man sure does like to scream though.
