This following missive has just been delivered to Quietus HQ:

"Domino is delighted to make it official that the line up of Mark Ibold, Scott "Spiral Stairs" Kannberg, Stephen Malkmus, Bob Nastanovich and Steve West is reuniting for dates around the world in 2010.

"Following years of speculation and extremely polite answers to obligatory reunion questions, Pavement, the most influential band of their generation, have announced details of their first show in over a decade."

We're told that more announcements are likely to be made via the band's official website at CrookedRain.com.

And, fingers crossed, some more Pavement action on The Quietus tomorrow . . .
