Pavement Trivia

[SG]

What 3 bands were influential when they recorded their first single?

[SG]

Here`s a clue:
one band is German,one band is British,one band is from New Zealand.

[maxini]

Just guessing outta the blue here:

German band: Kraftwerk
New Zealand band: Bailterspace

Need something more to go on as far as the British band is concerned.

[Bucky Ramone]

Think I know the German and NZ band, don’t know for sure about the English band

German band: Can
English band: Swell Maps or the Fall
NZ band: Tall Dwarfs

[SG]

den buck,you got the German band right!
you made two guesses on the british one-yes,it is the swell maps.
NZ-still wrong guys,keep guessing.
(maxini-cool that you heard of Bailter Space!)

[Bucky Ramone]

The Clean, of course (den Buck hits himself hard on the head!)

I’ve got the ‘God save the Clean’-tribute, with Pavement performing Oddity….

[SG]

Yes,it is The Clean.

next question:
What was the name of the punk band Malkmus and Spiral Stairs was in before Pavement?
clue:it`s the same name as a GBV song.

[SG]

No guesses yet?

[SG]

any guesses or should I give the answer?

[SG]

sorry that you spent time on typing all that,javro.
what I meant is the band name is the same as a GBV song title,not named after a GBV song.
Pavement was formed in 89,so you were close.
clue:it`s a song from Alien Lanes,don`t spend time writing up every song from it though.
I wonder if GBV knew that was Pavement`s old name or did they just pick a title randomly.

[Javro]

salami

thank the lord for copy and paste…..

[Javro]

why did scotty call himself ss?

[SG]

good question Javro,I don`t know.

the answer to my question is Straw Dogs.

here`s another:
what bands does Malkmus admire the spirits of?
just take some guesses and I`ll give more clues later.

[SG]

No one guessed that last question,so I`ll give the answer:Silkworm,Royal Trux,Sleater Kinney,MBV,Bis,and Ghost.

Here`s a new one:who is the guy who directed alot of Pavement`s videos married to?
