Pavement and No Age at Millennium Park (Pritzker Pavilion)
Pavement began promoting—and selling tickets for—its 2010 reunion tour an entire year before the initially scheduled dates. That would seem absurd if the once-obscure band hadn't sat so well with a swelling number of listeners over the past decade: The raggedy, smart-assed guitar-rock of such albums as Slanted And Enchanted and Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain now serves as a reminder of sweeter times, when "indie" was still the province of nerds. Sporting just as much pop as arty distortion, No Age’s music has attracted a lot of different ears since the duo started making an attractive racket four years ago. This fall’s Everything In Between will still elicit comparisons to Sonic Youth and Hüsker Dü, but like any good maturing band, No Age is definitely finding a sound that’s all its own.
