About This Event
Modest Mouse, the Pacific Northwest–born rock band led by Isaac Brock, moved from early-1990s indie beginnings to wider recognition in the 2000s with records that pair uneasy melody and blunt, observational lyrics. They play The Rooftop at Pier 17, bringing a live approach that favors momentum over polish and lets songs stretch and shift in the room, a tendency evident in their New York-area shows.
