Stepehen Malkmus grew up in Stockton, California. It was there he met Scott Kannberg with whom he would later form the band Pavement. In the 1980's, Stepehn went off to college at the University of Virginai. It was there that he met Bob Nastanovich and David Berman. The three would form the band the Silver Jews and Nasanovich was later asked to join Pavement. In 1991, Pavement relased "Slanted and Enchanted" which is one of the all time great 'indie-rock' records to ever have been released. Other Pavement Albums include 1994's "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain," 95's "Wowee Zowee," and 97's "Brighten the Corners." Earlier Pavement material was compiled and released on "Westing." Show less «
