American indie-rock band Modest Mouse is coming to Vancouver to rock The Commodore on November 27th & 28th. The band is riding the momentum of their 7th studio album The Golden Casket released back in 2021. They still seem to have gas in tank, selling out both shows at the Ballroom on Granville.
Modest Mouse is an American indie-rock band that was formed back in 1992 in Issaquah, Washington. Lead singer Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Green, and bassist Eric Judy are the founding fathers of the band and they were massive fans of Pavement, Pixies, XTC, and the Talking Heads who eventually influenced them to start Modest Mouse. The lads rehearsed and recorded demos for multiple years, grinding behind the scenes, before eventually signing with with small, indie label K Records and eventually releasing a few singles, and their first EP Blue Cadet-3, Do you Connect?. The band has gone through multiple line up changes throughout the years with 9 former members including original bassist Eric Judy who changed instruments and roles a few times before eventually fizzling out of the group. The band now consists of the OG’s Isaac Brock and Jeremiah Green, with new(ish) members such as bassist Tom Peloso, guitarist Russell Higbee, percussionist Ben Massarella, and lead guitarist Simon O’Connor.
Wooden Soldiers is the 5th song on their 2021 album The Golden Casket which has received generally positive reviews through Metacritic, a website that reviews TV shows, albums, music, video games, + more, gave the album a score of 78/100 which generally means it was given “favourable reviews”. This hasn’t been the first time the long running indie-band has received critical success because back in 2000 when they released their first album under Epic Records, The Moon & Antarctica, despite concerns about it being released under a major label, it gained a score of 9.8/10 from online magazine Pitchfork Media.
