waltz Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 THE REUNION! VIA PITCHFORKOkay, so it looks like Pavement might be back. Discuss them here. In my opinion, the most important 'alternative' or 'indie' band of the last 20-30 years. I AM HAPPY ABOUT THIS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I love Pavement too. Great band. I'm always skeptical about reunions though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltz Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I love Pavement too. Great band. I'm always skeptical about reunions though I know, but they're all still such good musicians. I doubt there'll be new material, which I don't really mind, but a potential UK tour makes me giddier than something really fucking giddy.

Alphas Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Crooked Rain Crooked Rain is an album I've been listening to a lot again recently, brilliant band. I too have never been overly sure about reunions but would love this one to happen. I saw Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks at the Connect Festival last year and thought at the time that may be the cloest I get to Pavement...maybe not!

qzdiablo Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 i can probably get behind this, having gotten into pavement about three years too late to ever see them playthere's rumours of them curating the us atp, i'd be interested to see what bands they pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I'd say Pavement are arguably much bigger since they split than they ever were when they were together. Really liked their singles back in the 90s and any band who inspired Urusei Yatsura are themselves double great as a result.Not sure if the extra rumours of them doing Coachella before the show a year from now are true...

Alphas Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Not sure if the extra rumours of them doing Coachella before the show a year from now are true...I heard that one as well a few months back. A quote from one of the band saying he thought this years Coachella wasn't possible but maybe next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingin' Ryan Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Simple answer: you're from the future.I'm already attending this 'ATP' shindig, but I'm pondering the Glasgow date as well. I just love them so much.The ATP line-up is looking amazing. Other than Pavement, I'm looking forward to The Raincoats, Broken Social Scene, Fiery Furnaces and Mission of Burma a lot.They've been announced as the headliners for Primavera as well, which means I'll be seeing double Pavement in May. They're playing another ludicrously good line-up with The Pixies, Wilco, Superchunk, Low and The New Pornographers.I'll be bankrupt by summer.

qzdiablo Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 i'm sorta relieved i didn't manage to get a ticket for the atp as i've seen most of the bands playing that i would've wanted to see, mainly at the malkmus atp 5 years agothat primavera bill sounds sorta incredible though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milners Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 The ATP line-up is looking amazing. Other than Pavement, I'm looking forward to The Raincoats, Broken Social Scene, Fiery Furnaces and Mission of Burma a lot.They've been announced as the headliners for Primavera as well, which means I'll be seeing double Pavement in May. They're playing another ludicrously good line-up with The Pixies, Wilco, Superchunk, Low and The New Pornographers.I'll be bankrupt by summer.Indeed it does look a fantastic line. First time i've been to an ATP festival since 2006 all because of Pavement. I'm hoping that its better than 2006 as i felt that festival was weird as a certain band got heckled and david cross too. I never thought i would see that at an ATP festival when a fair number of people wasn't interested in the music just because it was another festival. Just felt the magic had disappeared from it and didn't feel as special as the Bowlie weekender or ATP no 1 with Mogwai. Hopefully this is a good one but never been to Minehead so that will make it interesting and hoepfully its as good a set-up as Camber Sands.
