NME: Pavement Could Reunite For 30th Anniversary In 2019

(ThisSmallPlanet.com note: Although this was published last September, it didn't get much attention at the time. Since it is still quite relevant, I publish it here because so many people, including myself, would LOVE to see a Pavement reunion in 2019... and also to celebrate NME (which I loved when I lived in England and still tried to follow here in America) as it ceases print publication this year... AND because I am psyched that one of my videos was used in this article from NME!)

Spiral Stairs teases future plans
Pavement could “maybe” reunite for their 30th anniversary in 2019, according to one of the band’s founding members.
The garage-rock outfit originally split in 1999 but reformed in 2009 for a reunion tour the following year. Speculation about another possible reunion has been rife ever since, with frontman Stephen Malkmus performing Pavement songs with guitarist Scott Kannberg, aka Spiral Stairs, at a gig last year for Kannberg’s 50th birthday.
Now, in a new interview, Kannberg has said of teaming up again in a couple of years: “We haven’t really discussed it, but there has been some talk about our 30th anniversary in 2019 maybe doing some stuff, so stay tuned!” Listen to those comments at the 3 minute mark in the interview below.






Watch footage of Malkmus and Kannberg performing together at San Francisco’s The Chapel last year. The band played four songs together in total: ‘Falling Away’, ‘Date W/ Ikea’, ‘Kennel District’ and ‘Summer Babe’.

I shot the video above, which was in the original NME article.

Here are the other videos I shot for ThisSmallPlanet.com at that show:
