The 2010 Gig Thread

[dola]

Pavement!

[jef]

huh?

[dola]

The tubes (http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2009/09/pavement_reunio.html) don't lie, do they?

[Fiona]

My understanding was that they said they'd reform for the Matador anniversary celebrations whether this year or next, so I was expecting to hear something - but not a year in advance.

[9000]

i believe summer stage is usually well over by september 21. that said, sounds like someone knows something.

[Paul]

I'm already bored with the whole next year of people talking about this.

Slacker Bored with Pavement Reunion One Year Early

[tinobeat]

Tickets one year in advance. Wow.

[Fatah Ruark]

The presale link from the blog no worky :(

Even if you cut and paste it TM.com says nothing about Pavement at this point. Hopefully that is updated.

[Patrick]

Worky now.

[Arthur]

Any idea if they will be touring Australia?

[the Pawnbroker]

Wow, swing and a miss.

[9000]

ditto.

[Tanqueray Romeo]

I grabbed 4 so the "bridge and tunnel" crowd will indeed be in the house. Sorry New Yorkers.

Phuckers have them up on StubHub already. Maybe the UniBomber was right.

[9000]

is connecticut really part of the new b&t? sort of like manhattan.

[Fatah Ruark]

So I'm in for 9/21 and 9/22.

Any chance they will add other shows today?

Didn't I read 4 nights somewhere?

[9000]

okay, i'm in for the second show.

I've been hearing somewhat reasonably-sourced rumors about a good number of shows before Sept of '10, but a few of them overseas.

I always thought anyone not on the island of Manhattan was considered B&T. We'll be on our best behavior and won't act like slack jawed townies. Promise.

it's not where you're from, it's where you're at.

[9000]

hey, third show added for those still in the hunt.

[thenoun1]

This is confusing. I thought today was presale. So, the whole first show is sold out or just the presale tix? I got tix for the 21st and 23rd but I want the 22nd too. Are there going to be more on sale next week?

[chico]

4th show:

I hope so. I got shows 1,2 and 4...I had to step away and missed out on #3 (although a night off might not be a bad idea for me).

I'll try again next Friday. Worse comes to worse and I'll pass the ticket off to someone that didn't get them (although it seems remarkably easy to get these tickets).

[Arthur]

Any idea if they will be touring Australia?

Yes!! (http://www.handsometours.com/Pavement%202010.htm)

[Silence Kid]

Any Manchester, UK shows planned? It's been ten years... Saw Malkmus play a great show here on the Face The Truth tour but still craving some Pavement!

[johma79]

Sorry if this has been answered before but are there going to be any more non-festival shows in the US?

[Patrick]

Keep your eyes peeled

[johma79]

Thank you sir, will do.

[threelobed]

update - ok, no idea if this is real or not - http://img113.yfrog.com/i/jpjl.jpg/

[abevigoda]

[jef]

wow, that's a pretty good list! i'm waiting on some more show announcements, because i really don't wanna go to the pitchfork festival to see them.

[johansen smith]

Wow, they played "Kennel District" and "Give it a Day"?! A+++

[Drawk]

Who's responsible for this site? Can we convince them to move it to blogspot or something. It's great to have but as soon as this person leaves Comcast this page will be toast.

I'm not going to look at a single video, photo or review of the Pavement reunion until May 5. So there.

[Salman]

Nice, they played "Starlings in the Slipstream."
