Pavement

In the live recording of "Painted Soldiers" on Austin City Limits, Pavement showcased their iconic sound during a significant phase in their career. This performance occurred in early February 2023, a decade after the band reunited and released 'Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal' as a box set in 2022, celebrating their influential legacy. It's fascinating to think about how the band, originally part of the ’90s indie rock scene, continues to captivate audiences with their unique blend of lo-fi charm and offbeat lyricism. Fans were treated to a nostalgic yet fresh rendition of a track that highlights their ability to meld sardonic humor with profound emotional depth. The show aired on PBS, emphasizing the band's lasting impact and relevance, making this performance a delightful treat for both new listeners and longtime supporters.
