Pavement

In the summer of '95, Pavement was riding a wave of critical acclaim, having just released their album 'Wowee Zowee' just a few months earlier in April. This laid-back yet eclectic album showcased the band's unique blend of slacker rock and art-school sensibilities, earning them a devoted following. Performing live at the Reading Festival, they delivered hits like 'Kennel District' and 'Here,' capturing the raucous energy of the moment. Interestingly, this festival appearance highlighted their growing stature in the indie rock scene, showcasing both their nonchalant stage presence and the intricate, often playful sound that defined their work. The performance at the Reading Festival came to symbolize their transition from a cult favorite to a band with a more mainstream appeal, all while still staying true to their roots.
