Modest Mouse plays live... surprise surprise.
I am glad to report that from what I could see, Issaquah, Washington-based Modest Mouse performed live on SNL, becoming the first musical guest since October 23rd(at least), to perform without the aid of a backing track or a (under)lying vocal line.
In support of their most recent album, Good News for People Who Love Bad News,(very fitting I must say), the band played two live tracks, and were surprisingly decent on a stage that is notorious for its less than stellar acoustics.
Bravo Modest Mouse, you are bringing some honor back to this 31-year old program. And hopefully your performance is going to be the first in a series of performances with integrity for the rest of this season.
