Band of Horses opening for Modest Mouse


Recommended Posts

After I saw MM in May I really loved it, but doubted I'd ever see them again due to the crowd's suckage and their venue choices (i was able to see them at a general admission place but I doubt they will play many more of those). But now, I have tickets to see them with Band of Horses, Neko Case and Wolf Parade at this Download Festival thingy, which is pretty cool.

 

LAL is criminally underrated, but when they opened for MM I didn't hear as many songs from Laughter's Fifth as I would have liked.

i absolutely love modest mouse, but i would hate seeing them live, with tons of kids yelling PLAY FLOAT ON or DASHBOARD...theyre earlier stuff is much better in my opinion.

and ive already seen BoH. really good live, they owned funeral.

 

I didn't hear any Float On or Dashboard requests at the show I saw, but when they broke into the first chords of Trailer Trash and I went nuts, the kids next to me asked what song it was. :mellow

BoH made my day when they covered David Allen Coe's "You Never Even Called Me By My Name." All of the kids at the Metro were scratching their heads, but I loved it.

They did that in Asheville a few months back too. Apparently, the song has been apart of their live show for a while because he said that they also played it a year before in Asheville at another venue.
