Presented By PAVEMENT: SLOW CENTURY (Film Screening) Plus Q&A with
Lance Bangs and Bob Nastanovich Pavement is a band from Stockton, but
their secret history is a backroad that extends to Charlottesville and
Hoboken and Louisville and a few places in-between. Inarguably the
best rock group of their era, fame came knocking in the Alterna-rock
gold rush, but they were too wiley, too elegant, too cognizant to
answer the door. In 1999, Lance Bangs collected a decade’s worth of
footage of the band, from camcorder-shot record store performances to
public access chicanery to deluxe pro-shot European concerts, and
created the backbone of a documentary. He shot contemporary interviews
and spent years putting it together. The result was the beloved movie
Slow Century, released on DVD with the band’s music videos and a few
shows. The whole package would be an essential collection in any era,
but it was especially valued to Pavement’s growing cult in a world
where the band had broken up and YouTube didn’t exist. We’re
extremely excited to present a 20th anniversary screening of this
crucial documentary followed by a conversation between filmmaker Lance
Bangs and Pavement’s own Bob Nastanovich!
