Modest Mouse Let down
This was my 3rd or 4th Modest Mouse show. Big Let down....they came on stage 9:40 and were done at 10:30. I think Issac was suffering from Allergies, so I cut them a little slack. I was let down on the content of the music they played and the length of time they played. Last time at DTE they played only an hour and half too...I wouldn't recommend this show to anyone anymore....I hope they listen and start to play a little longer set lists....2hours minimum Ive seen my last Modest Mouse concert.....until I hear they are playing longer set lists..

Sound was trash
Idk what was going on but I’ve heard backyard birthday parties with better production. At first I had hoped it was just a crappy opener, but still lots of feedback when MM got on stage.

Great show but the sound mixing was off!
Normally, the shows at the The Ritz are awesome. I've seen a few acts there and everything has been perfect: the sound, the band, the staff, the upstairs VIP lounge, etc. However, something was VERY off with the mixing at this show for both the opening act (Mass Gothic) and Modest Mouse. I could hardly hear the vocals at all - very garbled. Some instruments drowned out the others. I don't think it was part of the show. I mean, I saw Flogging Molly here (very loud act with a lot going on), and the sound was fine. Modest Mouse crew tried to make adjustments throughout the show but finally just gave up and went with it. I'm not sure what happened, but otherwise the show was great. I just wish the sound mixing had been on point!
Having recently completed another successful run with Pixies and Cat Power, Modest Mouse continues to prove themselves to be one of the most consistent live acts today. Modest Mouse released their highly anticipated new album, The Golden Casket, on June 25, 2021 via Epic Records. The Golden Casket heralds another new chapter in the GRAMMY® Award-nominated multi platinum band's unpredictable evolution. Produced with Dave Sardy and Jacknife Lee in Los Angeles and in Modest Mouse's studio in Portland, the album hovers in the liminal space between raw punk power and experimental studio science, frontman Isaac Brock explores themes ranging from the degradation of our psychic landscapes and invisible technology, to fatherhood. The twelve tracks behave like amorphous organisms, undergoing dramatic mutations and mood swings that speak to the chronic tug-of-war between hope and despair that plays out in Brock's head.
