Modest Mouse

Modest Mouse play the Boeing Center at Tech Port on Saturday, October 17, their only San Antonio date this fall. It's a single-night stop in the city, so if you've been waiting to see them live, this is the one.

They aren't coming alone. Opening the bill is Caroline Rose, who'll set the stage before the headliners take over. Between the two, you've got a full evening of music rather than just a single set, so it's worth arriving early enough to catch her as well.

For those who know the band, the draw is usually the same: the jagged guitar lines, the nervous energy, and Isaac Brock's distinct voice. They've built a career on that specific brand of indie rock, and a live show is where it usually comes together most clearly. Whether you've followed them since the early records or just know a few songs, seeing them in person is a different thing than listening on a record.

The show starts at 8 PM, with doors opening an hour earlier at 7 PM. If you're planning to get a good spot or want to grab a drink first, that 7 PM opening gives you plenty of lead time. The venue is the Boeing Center at Tech Port, and the date is Saturday, October 17.
