Stockholm is a wonderful city. I would put it on my list of places to re-visit. I could spend some time there. People are really relaxed and it is a beautiful city. We played at a University. It was a really good performance.
Music fans in Europe are really into going to festivals. They sing and dance to everyones music. Modest Mouse in my opinion were the best band at pretty much every festival we played at. Every day when the band left the stage the crowd went crazy, stayed crazy, and chanted for more. That's the difference when you have a band that puts everything into it, puts on a show, and writes really good music.
I can only see them gaining in popularity in Europe and drawing bigger crowds.
