The crowds love of this band more than made up for the lack of sales. The 4500 seat Ralston Arena played host and even though only about 1500 tickets were sold, it still felt like a sold-out show. Modest Mouse are Isaac Brock (vocals), Jeremiah Green (drums), Tom Peloso (upright bass), Jim Fairchild (guitars), Russell Highbee (bass guitar), Lisa Molinaro (viola), Ben Massarella (percussion) and Davey Brozowski (percussion/keyboards). They were a really brilliant opening act.ĭARK WINDOW – JZOK – KEEP ON DYING – NEWARK – WATER – NICE NIGHT – CALL ME – HOW I LOVE YOU – EVERY NIGHT YOU’VE GOT TO SAVE ME – BIG WINDOW

The work they put into their set was greatly appreciated by the audience. Their sound is unique, and their use of echo is flawless. What’s not to like about Mass Gothic, they are vibrant on stage and their dreamy distortion filled pop sound is a pleasure to listen to. The rest of the band varies, but on this evening Lisa Molinaro, who performed with Mass Gothic and when not with her normal band Talkdemonic is a touring member of Modest Mouse. What and who is Mass Gothic? Mass Gothic is Noel Heroux formerly of Hooray for Earth which is fronted by his wife Jessica Zambri. On May 9 th, the Ralston Arena, may not have been jam packed with people, but it was jam packed with amazing sound and energy. “The modest person is usually admired, if people ever hear of them” – Edgar Watson Howe
