'SLOW CENTURY’ & ‘PAVEMENTS’ w/ LANCE BANGS
(PART 1 of PAVEMENT WEEK)
This week, we will be celebrating Pavement Week on Revolutions Per Movie with episodes that are Pavement to the max!!!
For today’s episode (#1 of 5) we start off with a bang with director/producer LANCE BANGS (Slint: Breadcrumb Trail, Jackass, Pavement: Slow Century, Pavements). We discuss how Lance first connected with Pavement and started documenting their early shows, what a young Lance was watching and listening to before the underground, how he put together the first Pavement docuementary SLOW CENTURY, what it’s like directing Pavement music videos & why there were two versions of the 'Major Leagues' video, Night Flight, shooting Super 8mm, the legendary City Gardens venue and the dangers surrounding it, The Replacements, SST Records, Jem Cohen, how Lance started working with R.E.M., the mystery of initial Pavement drummer Gary Young, Elephant 6, Nirvana, capturing the (first) last concerts of Pavement, how Lance got involved in the new Pavement doc PAVEMENTS and its genesis to the big screen, how COVID affected the making of the film, the addition of Rebecca Clay Cole, the original ending of the script that didn’t get made, the editing style of Robert Green, the incredibly uncomfortable footage of Pavement at the TIbetian Freedom concert, Wowee Zowee and how the film’s end is structured like side 3 of the LP, the illusion that Pavement were huge and more.
So much style that's it's wasted...right(?) on episode #1 of Pavement week only here on Revolutions Per Movie!!!
