As a fresh-faced 22-year-old, new to the sights and sounds of London, I saw an energetic and somewhat chaotic Pavement perform at the Brixton Academy. Friday, 9 June, 1995 – the ticket is in a poster frame on my wall, alongside dozens of others from my gig-going life.
It's been over 30 years since the release of their debut album, 24 since the release of their most recent, and 13 years since their last shows in Australia.
