Pavement on their reunion: ‘We’re like an uncaged tiger’

Their last show, in London’s Brixton Academy, hinted at internal tensions. Attaching handcuffs to his microphone, Malkmus told the audience: “These symbolise what it’s like being in a band all these years.” When the gig ended, the band left on one side of the stage, and Malkmus walked off in the opposite direction.
