Pavement
Pavement Live Performance at Bumbershoot - Song Set Overview
Before their live recording at Bumbershoot in 2024, Pavement released "Terror Twilight" in 1999, which marked a significant chapter in their evolution as a band. This album, seen as a blend of experimentation and melody, features tracks like "Spit on a Stranger" and showcases a more polished sound compared to their earlier, rawer work. Interestingly enough, despite being a pivotal act in the 90s indie rock scene, their live shows—like the one captured at the Fountain Stage in Seattle—exhibiting their playful charm, witty lyrics, and distinctive lo-fi edge, continue to draw fans and newbies alike. Performing songs like "Starlings of the Slipstream" and "Harness Your Hopes" at this festival reflects not just nostalgia for their 90s heyday but a continuous legacy in the indie music landscape.
