Pavement, a prominent cult band of the 1990s alternative rock scene, achieved notable success without mainstream fame. After disbanding in 1999, they found new life through the internet, fostering an expanding fanbase that culminated in their 2010 reunion. They sold out five nights at Central Park and then embarked on another tour with significant buzz. A viral B-side, Harness Your Hopes, further solidified their appeal to a new generation. The film Pavements, directed by Alex Ross Perry, blends archival footage with a mock-biopic, redefining the rockumentary genre and showcasing the band's complex legacy.
Pavement defied mainstream expectations, achieving cult status in the 1990s, and their influence has only grown post-disbandment, leading to recent high-profile reunions.
Despite their initial low profile, Pavement's reunion concerts in major venues and the viral success of their B-side, Harness Your Hopes, have captivated new audiences.
The film Pavements subverts traditional rockumentary formats, combining an exploration of their reunion tour with a fictionalized Hollywood biopic, creating a multi-layered narrative.
Brought to life by Alex Ross Perry, Pavements is more than just a band documentary; it explores the complexities of their legacy through inventive storytelling.
