tour: Sparkle Hard

rec-rated: 8/10

comments: Great show! I was getting into Pavement at the time, and since Stephen Malkmus is a member, my friend and I decided to see him with the Jicks. Sparkle Hard is a fantastic album, and I especially enjoyed their performance of the song “Shiggy.” The vibes were excellent, and they delivered a fantastic show. The crowd skewed older (we stood out a bit as 16-year-olds), but we were there for the music, so we did not really care.
