In the late nineties, Modest Mouse was on the forefront with a few other select bands leading and paving the way of what would become the Indie rock genre. From their inception, they’ve received high praise from critics all around but found their biggest commercial success with the release of their fourth studio album, Good News for People who Love Bad News in 2004. The album received Grammy nominations and transitioned the band from college radio stations into mainstream. This year commemorates the twentieth anniversary of that album and to celebrate that, Isaac Brock (the lone remaining founding member) has taken the party on the road playing the record in its entirety. Their stop through Chicago was for a sold out crowd at The Salt Shed where Its clear this album is having its own afterlife and the faithful fans have not forgotten a single word of It.
