Modest Mouse pull modest Reading crowd

A short shower interrupts the audience on Reading's main stage

Alex Fahey - 28 August 2010

The American band Modest Mouse played to a middling size crowd as they fought off the first shower of Reading festival's Saturday.

The band which during today's appearance consisted of ten members, powered through hits with Isaac Brock becoming the first guitarist of the weekend to play with his tongue.

Inbetween songs the niceties were muted to, "thank you," as the band decided to focus more on the melodic music instead of the festival crowd.

Reading Festival 2010 continues with performances from Arcade Fire, The Libertines, Pendulum and many more.
