Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks

Overview

News has started to filter through the music industry rumor mills that legendary indie rock band Pavement are reforming for a tour next year and will be coming to Australia. For those who saw the band in the 90s this news might not be so exciting, but for those of us too young to experience the live show first time around, this is probably the best news we’ve ever heard! 

We needn’t wait until next year though. Pavement front man and Silver Jews member Stephen Malkmus is touring Australia next week accompanied by his band The Jicks which includes former Sleater-Kinney member and (my all time personal hero) Janet Weiss on drums. These legends of the indie world are performing at The Metro supported by some of the best new Sydney acts, Bridezilla and Songs. You’d be stupid not to go.
