Pavement

On September 17, 2022, Pavement delivered a nostalgic performance of "Grounded" live at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle. This song hails from their 1995 album, Wowee Zowee, an experimental gem that showcased the band's unique blend of lo-fi rock and surreal lyrics. Released at a pivotal moment in their career, this album came out after their critically acclaimed debut, Slanted and Enchanted. Wowee Zowee's sound marked a daring expansion of their creative horizons, reflecting a mix of rock, punk, and experimental influences. The live rendition of "Grounded" not only invoked fond memories for long-time fans but also perfectly encapsulated Pavement's carefree yet clever attitude in their music. It’s a reminder of how they continue to resonate with audiences decades later, maintaining an authentic connection to their roots even in a modern setting.
