Pavement May Come Back


Former Pavement guitarist Scott Kannberg has noted that he is about to reunite with his ex-bandmates in order to celebrate their group’s twentieth anniversary, said Gigwise.  The American indie-rock band which was formed in 1989 and fell apart in 1999 is now following the old tradition of reunions once again.  Also, Kannberg added that by the end of 2009 Pavement may begin it’s first since the late 90’s full blown tour. “I don’t see why not, you know, it could be a fun thing to do, go and play your favourite songs every night,” he said. However, the exact decision on this event is still hanging in the air. They’re planning to perform at the Coachella festival, which should take place on April 17–19 in LA. “Coachella keep asking our booking agent but our booking agent’s pretty strong. He’s waiting for the right number, I think”. In 2006 and 2008 guys from Pavement kept on saying that their reunion is quite realistic, and not just in dedication to their anniversary, but also to Matador Records’ 20th anniversary as well (they’ve co-worked with them).


Pavement was founded by Steven Malkmus and Scott Kannberg in California. They have released five studio albums, out of which the most successful was “Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain” (1994). The last one was released in 1999 – “Terror Twilight”.
