Video: 1997 Modest Mouse Documentary

Modest Mouse

Lo-fi filmmaking-- you gotta love it. Especially when it involves awkward interview questions that lead to even more awkward answers. This recently unearthed 1997 Modest Mouse documentary follows the band through the recording of The Lonesome Crowded West. The untitled, 37-minute film is a collection of shots in the studio and on the stage and includes interviews with the band members as well as other musicians, including Built to Spill's Doug Martsch, Sam Coombs of Quasi, and Elliott Smith.

For the most part, this video should be left to only those with an unhealthy obsession with the band, but others may enjoy the 20 minute mark and on when Isaac Brock takes Madsen on a stroll through a park and drinks beer on a bench in broad daylight. Though the extremely young-looking Brock doesn't reveal his deepest secrets and rarely talks about the band, it's intriguing to see what a midday drink with the Modest Mouse frontman was like almost a decade ago.

Of course, we must add the disclaimer that this thing showed up randomly on Google Video last week, and we don't know how accurate our information is.
