In a recent podcast appearance, Stephen Malkmus described the prospect of a Pavement reunion as "realistic": "Anything's possible. If there's interest, then that's always a factor. If people are really psyched about it, I'd be psyched about it too. So we'll see."
It turns out that he was being a coy tease and knew more than he was letting on, with the announcement that the band will mark their 30th anniversary with shows at the two Primavera festivals in Spain and Portugal next summer. Don't go expecting any further dates to be announced, though - according to the festival organisers, the appearances are exclusive.
I had the good fortune to see them the last time they reunited, back in 2010. The shows were good, but no new material was forthcoming and the reformation proved to be temporary - there's little reason to expect that this time it'll be any different, sadly.
