The never-ending cycle of touring bands bypassing Adelaide inevitably gets us down, but don't look so despondent now. Those lovable slackers from California just gave us proof that sometimes the stars can align perfectly.
Pavement are reuniting for some one-off shows - old news. But what were the chances they would be playing those in Australia? Pretty slim, Jim. In Adelaide? Slimmer, Jim.
A few weeks back the interwebs started rumouring that Malkmus and his cohorts were considering a down under getaway - six months before they play the states, preposterous!
No. TRUE. In some sort of a one-in-a-million snowball of fortune minus a chubby host, Pavement play our grand old Thebarton Theatre on March 7, which just goes to show you the power of positive vibes. Or maybe just the power of Pavement.

About
FiveThousand is a subcultural guide to Adelaide, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Adelaide writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FiveThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
