Modest Mouse
with Doug Martsch
Grinders KC
Monday, June 23

Long-running indie rockers took to the sweltering outdoor stage of Grinders on Monday night for a set of tunes pulling from throughout their entire catalog, although eschewing hits like “Never Ending Math Equation,” “Float On,” or “Ocean Breathes Salty.” Built to Spill frontman Doug Martsch opened with a set of solo tunes, and our photographer Allison Scavo was there to capture it all.
