Pavement with Scott Kannberg (aka Spiral Stairs) while he was living in Stockton during the 1980s. Their first album, Slanted & Enchanted, was
released to critical acclaim, and the band continued to receive attention for subsequent releases, most notably 1994's Crooked Rain, Crooked
Rain, in which the band was able to catch a glimpse of the mainstream eye, due to the hit single "Cut Your Hair". Pavement, and Malkmus in
particular, was hailed as spearheading the underground indie movement of the 1990s. After releasing 5 studio albums, Pavement dissolved in
1999. In 2001, Malkmus released his first self-titled solo album. He also was a member of rock group Silver Jews along with poet/lyricist David
Berman. Currently, Malkmus fronts The Jicks and has released a handful of new albums, enjoying considerable success. « hide |
