re: Modest Mouse/Brand New

A lot of Brand New Haters on here, although admittedly they aren't for everyone.

It's funny that you mention the venue because I'm still trying to figure out why they made this an outdoor show in 100 degree weather when they have a 6,500 seat theater literally right there. I wish it was indoors.

I think Brand New is a great band that really grew a lot over time. Unfortunately for them, it was all angsty-rage based and the emo scene (which I feel bad even including them in because they definitely transcended this genre) has long past. Modest Mouse has 20 years of great Music behind them though and they have also shown a lot of range throughout their discography. Should be an interesting night to see them both perform on one stage. I know Jesse Lacey covers the Modest Mouse song Trailer Trash and I'd really enjoy seeing both bands play that together.
