The story

Pavement is an American indie rock band that formed in Stockton, California in 1989. For most of their career, the group consisted of vocalist and guitarist Stephen Malkmus, guitarist and vocalist Scott Kannberg, bassist Mark Ibold, drummer Steve West and vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Bob Nastanovich. Initially conceived as a recording project, the band at first avoided press or live performances, while attracting considerable underground attention with their early releases. Gradually evolving into a more polished band, Pavement recorded five full-length albums and ten EPs over the course of a decade, though the group disbanded with some acrimony in 1999 as the members moved on to other projects. In 2010, Pavement undertook a well-received reunion tour, followed by another international tour from 2022 to 2024. The band has played several smaller tours and concerts since then.
