Modest Mouse

The Jube, Edmonton, AB
July 3, 2025, noticed the return of Modest Mouse to Edmonton since their final present right here a number of years in the past at Union Corridor. There was a major crowd; I don’t assume it was fairly bought out, however I don’t have precise attendance numbers. Sadly, attributable to work, I missed the opening act and was solely in a position to catch Modest Mouse.
The one factor that’s cool about these guys is that they don’t actually have a concrete set checklist that they adhere to each night time. They only kinda do their factor and play what they really feel like taking part in. The final time I noticed them, they neglected their hit music “float on” – so it’s good to see the monitor making an look this time round, and early within the set. For me, there’s one thing neat about with the ability to {photograph} a band whereas they play their greatest and most acquainted tracks.
They’re not a band that strikes round a complete lot, however they’re a brilliant cohesive unit that at all times delivers a implausible efficiency. Their 90-minute set featured 18 songs, 4 of which have been an encore.
