Modest Mouse are throwing their own two day fest, the Psychic Salamander Festival, on September 13 & 14 in Carnation, WA and they’ve just announced that they’ll be performing their classic 2000 album The Moon & Antarctica in full. This will be the first time they’ve ever done so and it will be part of the 25th anniversary of the album.
