ALEXIS GIDEON (Disjecta, 8371 N Interstate) Read our article on Alexis Gideon . PAVEMENT, QUASI (Edgefield, 2126 SW Halsey, Troutdale) Ever since news of the Pavement reunion broke, we've been drooling for a Portland show: It's Stephen Malkmus' hometown, and the reunion rehearsals took place in SE Portland's AudioCinema. Well, the day of a local Pavement show has finally arrived, [...]
Video: Motion City Soundtrack cover Pavement's "Cut Your Hair" on A.V. Club for old times sake

There's not much to say about Pavement. They were they ultimate lo-fi underground rockers of the 90's and perhaps the best band to come out from that decade. Their recent reunion for a few concerts is not the best thing (I really hate these late reunions) but what can you do? They (or their label Matador) also decided to release a best-of album titled Quarantine The Past: Greatest Hits 1989-1999. The album features most of their hits (if you can call any of their songs a hit) such as Gold Soundz, Stereo, Cut your Hair, Shady Lane and many more [...]

Sup guys. We're the Pavements- a band from back before the pre-Ben Gibbard era, before modern indie distribution channels existed. We play alt rock. The alt-est of 1990s alt rock. Guitars. Drums. Guy with a dopey voice. Earnest Lyrics. Yelling. I'm sure you've heard bands that sound like us, but these days our sound isn't always 'in.' Fortunately we're coming back and hitting the indie rock festival circuit. It is highly lucrative to unretire, because people will pay u a lot of money 2 reconnect with ur brand. /// [...]
Foi o meu amigo Dário que primeiro me lembrou da possibilidade, muito wishful thinking, da participação dos Pavement, agora reunidos de novo, na próxima edição do Primavera Sound de Barcelona. O regresso do grupo, que começou por ser anunciado como apenas uma única data no Central Park de Nova Iorque, a Setembro de 2010, tem vindo a ganhar novos contornos de dia para dia. Àquela data única do
I'm sure everyone knows about this at this point and this is no news to anyone but Pavement has officially announced they are reuniting and playing 1 2 3 FOUR! Central Park Summerstage NYC shows a full year from now, in addition to a hinted at as yet TBD world tour of sorts. [Currently there are now 4 shows, but since they now have Tuesday through Friday covered, you have to figure Saturday and Sunday are coming as well] Presale is up on Ticketmaster , Password is ZOWEE .

Your daily dose of national music news for Friday, September 18, 2009... Avril Lavigne has split with her hubby of three years, Deryck Whimbley. That sucks, I guess. But, at least Pavem...

In questi ultimi anni a quante reunion abbiamo assistito? Io ho perso il conto: c'è chi si è riunito producendo anche un nuovo disco (ottimo nel caso dei Portishead , buono nel caso dei Verve , molto meno nel caso di Stooges e Bauhaus ) e chi invece ha preferito optare per un ritorno esclusivamente live ( Police , Led Zeppelin e My Bloody Valentine solo per citarne alcuni). Bene, a questa lista di nomi storici (e fondamentali) si aggiunge anche quello di uno dei gruppi (se non il [...]
After years of rumors, seminal indie-rock band Pavement have finally confirmed they are to reunite. New York-based blog Brooklyn Vegan was first to declare these rumors were the real deal, and on Thursday guitarist Scott Kannberg (a.k.a. Spiral Stairs) confirmed the reunion in an interview with Rolling Stone . The first confirmed date is a Central Park, New York show on September 21 next year. Referring to frontman Stephen Malkmus , Kannberg said "Steve and I just had a conversation on the phone, and we'd never talked about it before at all. [...]

YES! My dreams have come true. What many would say is arguably the greatest band of the 90's, Pavement, is getting back together for an official reunion. Numerous reports from Pitchfork & The Brooklyn Vegan have confirmed rumors that Pavement will be reuniting in 2010. According to what I've read, Pavement will be reuniting for Central Park SummerStage on September 21st, 2010. There is also talks of Pavement playing Coachella, ATP & maybe even a full length tour. I can assure you I will be scrapping like hell to get some tickets [...]
The remarkably unreliable reliability of "reliable sources" notwithstanding, this whole Pavement reunion rumor has legs, it would seem, with "more (and accurate) info" available tomorrow, accord... Continue reading "Yes Indeed, That Pavement Reunion Rumor Seems To Be Real" >
Indie-rock slackers Pavement -- who, like the Pixies, arguably seem to be more popular now than when they were together -- are reuniting in 2010, according to blog Brooklynvegan. Pitchfork notes a... Continue reading "Pavement Is Totally Reuniting." >

Sá orðrómur hefur heyrst endrum og eins á síðustu tíu árum að stórindísveitin Pavement kunni að taka upp þráðinn á nýju. Fæstir hafa nú lagt mikla trú í slíkar sögusagnir enda voru stofnendur sveitarinnar, Stephen "SM" Malkmus og Scott "Spiral Stairs" Kannberg , víst langt frá því bestu vinir undir lok ferils hennar. Báðir hafa svo verið að dunda sér við annað síðan; Malkmus gefið út fjórar plötur ásamt The Jicks og á tímabili starfrækti Kannberg hljómsveitina Preston School of Industry og er nú að gefa út sólóskífu í október.
