Former PAVEMENT frontman STEPHEN MALKMUS has confirmed a LONDON date, his first UK appearance with JUSTINE FRISCHMANN, NME.COM can exclusively reveal.
The gig will take place on the same day as the release of his first solo album ‘Stephen Malkmus’, the title having changed from the previously-speculated ‘Swedish Reggae’.
