Pavement

In June 1995, when Pavement played 'Grave Architecture' live at E-Werk in Cologne, they were riding high on the success of their iconic album, 'Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain', which had been released just a year earlier. This was a period of blossoming creativity for the band, marked by their blend of lo-fi sounds and clever lyricism that captured the essence of 90s indie rock. Interestingly, this live performance showcases the band's signature penchant for improvisation and a raw energy that resonated deeply with their fans. It was during this era that they began to gain considerable recognition, securing their place in the indie music scene. Their unique style was not just about polished tracks; it was about capturing a feeling, a moment, which is perfectly encapsulated in this live recording.
