Performer Information

Few bands in indie rock have left as indelible a mark as Pavement. Formed in 1989 in Stockton, California by founding members Stephen Malkmus and Scott “Spiral Stairs” Kannberg, the band quickly became a defining force of lo-fi and alternative rock. Their 1992 debut, Slanted and Enchanted, is a landmark release, and a Pavement tour draws multi-generational fans who discovered the band across decades. Across their career, Pavement has sold an estimated 1 million+ albums worldwide, with Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain moving 500,000+ copies.

Pavement’s influence stretches far beyond the charts, though they notched notable achievements: Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain and Brighten the Corners appeared on the Billboard 200, and “Cut Your Hair” hit #10 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks. Their sound—jangly guitars, off-kilter melodies, clever wordplay, and a slacker-rock spirit—helped define 1990s indie. Today, they maintain cross-generational appeal with strong streaming momentum.

Current Band Members

• Stephen Malkmus — vocals, guitar

A founding member and the band’s principal songwriter, Malkmus anchors Pavement’s deadpan delivery and sharp lyricism. His inventive guitar lines and wry stage presence set the tone for the band’s signature style.

• Scott “Spiral Stairs” Kannberg — guitar, vocals

A founding member who contributes songwriting and vocals, Kannberg adds melodic hooks and rhythmic grit. His interplay with Malkmus is central to the band’s dynamic guitar sound.

• Mark Ibold — bass guitar

Joining in 1992, Ibold’s steady, elastic basslines glue Pavement’s off-kilter grooves together. He later performed with Sonic Youth, underscoring his standing in alternative rock.

• Bob Nastanovich — percussion, backing vocals, keyboards

An early member known for his high-energy presence, Nastanovich adds textures, shouts, and percussive drive. His animated engagement with the crowd gives shows a spontaneous edge.

• Steve West — drums

West took over in 1993, bringing a loose yet locked-in pulse that suits Pavement’s unpredictable structures. His work with Marble Valley reflects his versatile, groove-forward approach.

Former and Legacy Members

• Gary Young — drums (1989–1993)

Pavement’s original drummer, whose eccentric stage antics and raw feel shaped the band’s early identity.

Pavement’s catalog is stacked with fan favorites: “Cut Your Hair,” “Gold Soundz,” “Range Life,” “Stereo,” “Shady Lane,” and “Spit on a Stranger” are staples. Across five studio albums, they blended sardonic humor with adventurous songwriting, creating an indie rock blueprint that countless bands still chase.

Live, the band is celebrated for minimalist staging, big energy, and a loose, communal atmosphere. You can expect unpredictable setlists, witty banter, and deep-cut surprises—a Pavement concert often feels like a reunion of friends who know every word.
