The first American date in the Pavement world tour is going to the Northwest via the Sasquatch! Music Festival! Take that East Coast. So if it wasn’t enough that festival goers already get to see beau-coup bands (it’s always a stellar line-up) and lounge in the magnificence that is the Gorge Amphitheatre, they now also get access to the reunited genius that is Pavement as well. Dates for the festival are May 29-31 and there is no word yet on who else is playing (that happens on Feb. 16th). I know for a fact that when this information goes up, I will post it, so look out for that and go crank “Summer Babe” while you are at it.

I’d like to clarify that for this show they cut off the back half of Neumo’s floor with a curtain and had the upstairs bar closed. It made Neumo’s obviously seem much smaller than it is. Unfortunately, now having seen Neumo’s fully open at another show I can say that this show was very empty. Still White Denim and Brazos rocked.

I agree, it’s very good. Way to deflate their balloon.

Love the photos. And that “Walkabout” song is the drugs.

although i’m still slightly put off by the pretentious press release announcing pre-sale of their 2010 nyc dates a year in advance, this is pretty cool. perhaps this will be my first sasquatch…
Sasquatch is a blast, you should go.
