Band Biography
The critically acclaimed indie-rockers Pavement were formed in 1989, although their commercial breakthrough occurred in the early-to-mid 1990s, particularly with their first hit, "Cut Your Hair", which was made fun of pretty well on Beavis & Butt-Head. Early shows were marked by the antics of Gary Young, who was soon ejected from the band, possibly for pulling a gun on Stephen Malkmus. In 1999, they broke up, and many members have gone into other bands, including The Silver Jews most notably, although there is talk of a reunion.
