See Pavement Perform ‘Harness Your Hopes' in First Late-Night TV Appearance in 15 Years
While the reunited cult alt-rock band don't have any gigs on the horizon this year, they have been on the road promoting the quasi-biopic/rockumentary Pavements, which is in select cities now ahead of its nationwide release on June 6.

The Teaser for the Pavement Movie Has a Dramatic Version of 'Here' So You Know It's Serious
The Colbert performance marked Pavement's first late-night TV appearance since the band played The Tonight Show back in 2010. 'Harness Your Hopes' — a non-album track from an EP released just months before the band's 1999 breakup — might seem like an unlikely choice for such a momentous occasion, but the song has, somehow, become Pavement's most popular song thanks to TikTok and Spotify, with the track earning the band their first-ever gold record just this week:
On Thursday, Pavement's longtime label Matador Records announced the impending arrival of the soundtrack for Pavements, featuring 'dialogue snippets, scenes from the fake Oscar-bait biopic Range Life, and cast recordings from the Slanted! Enchanted! jukebox musical as well as live and rehearsal tapes from the band's 2021 reunion tour.' That soundtrack arrives digitally May 30.
