Pavement at Stubbs BBQ

I did my best to take a video, but we were kind of far in the back. It was a great show for Pavement fans, even though I wish they played more hits. But it was entertaining to see all these 30-somethings rocking out to what is essentially a "nostalgia" act. I never was a huge Pavement fan, even though I did like a lot of alternative rock from that decade. But I started becoming more interested in punk rock in the mid-90s. Still, very cool to see the legendary Pavement perform live.



My only complaint is about Stubbs. Shows start way too early and their booze is ridiculously overpriced for a downtown Austin venue. Five bucks for a 12 oz can of Shiner? I guess ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
