Pavement

In the fall of 2010, Pavement was revitalizing their legacy during a significant reunion tour, and the live performance of 'Box Elder' in Kansas City at the Uptown Theater highlights this moment perfectly. Before this recording, they had released 'Terror Twilight' in 1999, their last studio album before an extended hiatus. Interestingly, 'Box Elder' is a track from their debut EP, 'Slay Tracks (1933-1969),' showcasing the band's roots as they combined lo-fi charm with sharp, witty lyrics. This performance not only brings back nostalgic sounds from their earlier days but also emphasizes how their music resonated with fans old and new. The 2010 tour was a reflection of their innovative spirit, sparking conversations about their influence on indie rock and the Alt scene, making it a captivating time to see them live.
