Pavement might reunite?
In what could possibly be some amazing news, BrooklynVegan is reporting that the legendary band Pavement might reunite next year for shows in NYC.
Stephen Malkmus, Bob Nastanovich, Scott Kannberg, Steve West, and Mark Ibold made up the band that played their last show at Coachella in 1999. It was Malkmus who would later call Kannberg in 2000 to tell him that the band was done. But now it’s rumored that the guys might play four shows during September of 2010′s Summerstage which are shows that take place in Central Park. It’s also been speculated that the band may play their first reunion gig at next year’s Coachella festival
Malkmus started this rumor mill when he told Spin last year that “the option (of a reunion) is open”. Kannberg told Loud and Quit magazine that “2009 would be our twenty-year anniversary too, so that’d be a good time to do it, but I think that’s too soon, it might have to be pushed back later.”
Nothing’s been confirmed yet but if this goes down then jump for joy and grab a ticket to the show.
UPDATE: Pitchfork has confirmed that Pavement will indeed reunite next year at Summerstage. The date of the show is September 21, 2010. Wow!
