Vocalist

The Resume

    (May 30, 1966- )
    Former Vocalist/Guitarist for Pavement, The Silver Jews and The Crust Brothers
    Currently performs with The Jicks
    Recorded Albums: 'Stephen Malkmus' (2001) and 'Pig Lib' (2003)
    Performs 'Dark Wave,' 'Deado,' 'The Hook,' 'Vague Space,' 'Ramp of Death,' 'Jenny and the Ess-Dog,' 'Vanessa From Queens,' 'Troubbble,' 'Church on White,' 'Phantasies,' '(Do Not Feed The) Oyster' and 'Animal Midnight'

Why he might be annoying:

    He defines a 'Jick' as the 'J' from Jagger minus the 'M' from Mick.
    Rumors started that his original band, Pavement was going to break up after he kept doing solo gigs, which he wanted to do away from Pavement.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He studied history at the University of Virginia.
    In an interview he said:'A good voice isn't so important. It's more important to sound really unique. We need more singers like P.J. Harvey, or Shirley Manson, Bob Dylan or Lou Reed. They really got their own cool style.'
    In the same interview when asked about censorship and banning he responded that it's dumb and that if you don't like an artist, don't buy his albums, don't go to his shows, live and let live.
    He is a trustee at the 'Crystal Gayle Theater of Performing Arts.'
    Some of his favorite artists are Buddy Holly, Lou Reed, Minor Threat and Black Flag.
    When Pavement broke up they made an announcement at the London Brixton Academy, putting handcuffs on the microphone stand, which symbolized the band and thanked their fans for 'coming all these years.'
    His music has been called 'instantly catchy' and 'bold, brain and brilliant rock,' and he has been called 'the great guitar romantic of his era.'
