In 1989, the two used a studio owned by drummer Gary Young in Malkmus’ hometown of Stockton, California. Young played drums on the duo’s first EP, Slay Tracks: (1933-1969), recorded for under $1000 and self-released. The record made its way to respected indie label Drag City, and Pavement, now a trio, set to work on a follow-up EP. When they began playing live in 1991, the band added a bassist and second drummer. Soon after, they signed to Matador, which released their debut full-length, Slanted and Enchanted, to critical raves. Young left the band before the sophomore release Crooked Rain, which launched Pavement into the world of mainstream alt-rock. Through three more albums and a slot on Lollapalooza, Pavement never clicked with a mass audience, though they remain one of the most influential bands of the ‘90s.     Pavement Gold Soundz (Live) MP3 Alternative Despite their songwriting skill, Pavement didn’t get tagged slackers for nothing.
