Description
"The great guitar romantic of his era, a poet, a con man, a slave to love, a badly drawn boy, a flannel man-cub troubadour whose smartass lyrics barely veil the cosmic emotional climaxes of his voice and guitar." -- Rolling StoneAfter Pavement announced they were going on hiatus at the end of 1999, the status of one of America's finest indie rock bands was a mystery for the first half of 2000.
Then singer Malkmus officially confirmed Pavement's breakup in the November 2000 issue of Spin magazine and Matador announced it was releasing the album -- “Stephen Malkmus." The Jicks made their live debut that January at New York's Bowery Ballroom and spent the rest of the winter and spring touring. On 2003's Pig Lib, the Jicks shared credit with Malkmus, 2005's Face the Truth featured Malkmus with and without the Jicks. For the current Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks' mini-tour, Janet Wiess, formerly of Sleater-Kinney, joins the Jicks, taking over the drumming duties from John Moen (who's currently busy behind the kit with the Decemberists).
