Pavement

On February 25, 2014, Stephen Malkmus delivered a mesmerizing performance at The Paradise Rock Club, blending the unique sounds of Pavement's legacy with his own artistic style. Before this live recording, Pavement had released their last studio album, "Terror Twilight," in 1999. Fast forward to this performance, and Malkmus was riding the wave of solo projects and his band, The Jicks, showcasing not only tracks from Pavement like "Summer Babe" and "Stereo" but also his growth as an artist. It's fascinating to think about how those early 90s slacker anthems resonate so powerfully into the 2010s, bridging generations. The vibrant, slightly off-kilter energy of Pavement—characterized by their trademark rawness and clever lyrics—still shone through, proving that some music ages like fine wine.
