Setlist In The Mouth Of A Desert Notes:

Pavement was an American indie rock band in the 1990s. Although they experienced only moderate commercial success, they achieved a significant cult following, and their music has been a major influence on many bands of the late 1990s and beyond.
On September 15, 2009, Brooklyn Vegan reported that Pavement are scheduled to perform multiple benefit show dates in New York City's Central Park beginning on September 21, 2010. Official statements by the band, label, venue and promoter were released on September 17, 2009 confirming the reunion. The announcement included one concert in Central Park and the promise of a tour, but said that the reunion may only be a one-off event. It said, "Please be advised this tour is not a prelude to additional jaunts and/or a permanent reunion." Tickets for the first Central Park concert sold out in two minutes, leading to the announcement of three more shows at the same venue. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Scott Kannberg spoke about the band's future: "We’ll do some rehearsing in the new year. The Central Park SummerStage shows, we’ll probably end up doing one or two of those. There’s festivals and stuff that we’re talking to, like Coachella. After that, anything that happens in the future is in the future." The band have since confirmed a world-wide tour starting in Auckland, New Zealand on 1 March at the Auckland Town Hall, before heading on to Australia, the UK and the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in Minehead, Somerset (May 14 - 16) and several European shows. They are also confirmed to play at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2010, the Sasquatch! Festival in May, and the Roskilde Festival and Pitchfork Music Festival in July. |
