Pavement, widely renowned as one of the most popular and influential indie-rock bands of the nineties, will be returning with a 2010 world tour.
The original band consisting of Stephen Malkmus, Scott “Spiral Stairs” Kannberg, Mark Ibold, Bob Nastanovich and Steve West will play at select cities around the world.
Pavement performed their last show in 1999 at London’s Brixton Academy. Since then fans have been holding their breath in anticipation of a reunion show. Their label, Matador Records, have emphasised that the band have no plans to permanently reunite for further touring and recording.
Pavement and their musical peers including Nirvana, Sonic Youth, The Pixies and loads of others wrote the soundtrack of a generation.
It’s been ten years since Pavement left the music scene. Since their split the band continued to grow in popularity with their string of nineties hits including ‘Crooked Rain’, ‘Slanted and Enchanted’, ‘Wowee Zowee’ and ‘Brighten the Corners’ becoming modern indie rock classics.
This tour is a live celebration of the band that has characterized and transformed the indie music scene with their raw and lo-fi recordings.
While Pavement have been on hiatus, Stephen Malkmus and Scott Kannberg have been busy on their respective solo projects. Both Stephen and Scott have toured and released solo records, Stephen Malkmus under his own name, Scott Kannberg under Preston School Of Industry and most recently under his Spiral Stairs moniker.
In a 2006 Pitchfork interview, Scott Kannberg discussed the possibility of a reunion for the band's 20th anniversary in 2009. In a 2008 Entertainment Weekly article, Kannberg echoed the possibility of a 2009 reunion, and mentioned Matador Records' 20th anniversary. Mark Ibold was amiable to the idea; Malkmus, however, stated: "something small in 10 years like the Zeppelin thing sounds good to me."
