Modest Mouse at the Civic
Civic Theatre 510 O'Keefe Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana 70113
The cheerfully melancholic indie/alternative rock band Modest Mouse have made New Orleans a destination on an extensive summer tour. Front man Isaac Brock's pithy and often existential lyrics set to the band's distinctive upbeat, acoustic sound have charmed a wide audience base since they broke onto the scene in the '90s, gaining even more national attention with catchy early-2000s hits like their irreverently positive single "Float On". Their most recent album is their 2015 release Strangers to Ourselves, which is Modest Mouse's first studio album since 2007. If you're a fan, hopefully you've already purchased tickets, because at present they are sold out. Doors open at 7 pm with show starting at 8 pm. civicnola.com.
