Night on the Sun is an EP by alternative rock band Modest Mouse, released in 1999 as a Japan-only album, again in 2000 as a 12" vinyl in the US and UK [1], and was re-issued in 2016[2]. The tracks on the Japan's Rebel Beat Factory label were taken from The Moon & Antarctica demos that were sent to Epic Records. The four tracks on 12" ended up on 2001s Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks. Extra percussion on I Came As A Rat (Long Walk Off A Short Dock) was provided by Ben Massarella and bass on You're the Good Things was played by Ben Blankenship [3].
