Modest Mouse -- Kansas City, MO -- March 2nd, 2009

Taken from my last.fm

Japanese motors - 5/10
Sounded like a more rock oriented version of Vampire Weekend to me. At times I could even detect a smidge (A SMIDGE!) or The Ramones sound in them? Maybe it's just me. Not too great, not too bad.

Mimicking Birds - 3/10
This band is "chill" and "spacey" but it really just made me want to fall asleep until the last song they played, which to my surprise didn't sound like all the others.

Modest Mouse - 8/10

They sounded great. I'm not a huge fan of them, but the sound came through pretty well and they played with a lot of intensity. Not really a bad song in the bunch. They ever were pretty heavy at times.

SETLIST:

Bury Me With It
Never Ending Math Equation

If you have any help filling in the blanks, let me know!

Because of some members of the crowd and (mostly) the security staff at The Uptown, I had one of the most un-enjoyable concert experiences ever. I won't go too much into it.

Overall: It was an okay concert. Modest Mouse was great, but the openers left me wanting a little bit more.

I don't get why they don't play Little Motel. Great song, and fairly popular to boot.

I don't really know what they played, I'm waiting for someone who swiped a setlist off the stage to comment on my Last.Fm.

But seriously, security/fighting was the worst I've ever seen at any concert.

This is surprising to me.

Updated with correct setlist.

@SIT72: Stupid frat boys with their egos and drunk indie kids + security guys with superiority complexes = more stupid shit than a metalcore hardcore dancing pit.
