Pavement Reunites ' Act Surprised

POSTED: Wednesday, September 16, 2009, 8:00 PM

Go Back To Those Gold Soundz I think it's overstating it to say nobody saw this coming. Pavement was a great rock band, and a strange one, but still a rock band and therefore susceptible to the accepted rock band evolutionary steps. The exiled first drummer, the singer gone solo, the deluxe re-issues, and now, yes, here we are, with a live reunion gig booked (for a year from now), and more on their way, most likely. Don't get me wrong: I am extremely excited. Militantly so. I saw them at the Troc a few times back in the day and they brought it in a sloppy, happy way. Unforgettable. This will rule. (Now ask me if Neutral Milk Hotel will ever get back together.)
