Ass Ponys was an indie rock band based in Cincinnati, Ohio.
 The band was formed in 1988 from members of Ohio band the Libertines and Midwestern band Gomez.
 Their sound combines rock and country into an off-kilter blend of Americana music.
 They have gone on national tours with bands such as Pavement, Throwing Muses, and Possum Dixon.
 Among other periodicals, they have been featured in Rolling Stone Magazine, CMJ, and The Cincinnati Post.
Steve West (born December 8, 1966, in Charlottesville, Virginia) replaced original drummer Gary Young in the critically acclaimed indie rock band Pavement.
 He is a graduate of Trinity High School in Richmond, Virginia.
 At Trinity, he played drums in the band Stalingrad with singer John Smith, bassist Hanby Carter, and guitarist Rob Williams.
 Stalingrad played at high school dances and small clubs in the Richmond area.
 Stalingrad changed their name to Contoocook Line in 1986 and toured the Southeast, releasing an album called "Oliver's Garden" on Rughead Records in 1987.
 Contoocook Line relocated to New York City in 1990; while in New York, West became friends with members of Pavement.
 West joined Pavement after Contoocook Line disbanded in 1991.
 Hanby Carter and Rob Williams continue to release material and tour as Joe Buck Jr.
Modest Mouse is an American rock band formed in 1992 in Issaquah, Washington (a suburb of Seattle), and currently based in Portland, Oregon.
 The founding members are lead singer/guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Green, and bassist Eric Judy.
 Strongly influenced by groups Pavement, the Pixies, XTC, and Talking Heads, the band rehearsed, rearranged, and recorded demos for almost two years before finally signing with small-town indie label, K Records, and releasing numerous singles.
 Since the band's 1996 debut album, "This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About", the group's lineup has centered on Brock and Green.
 Judy performed on every Modest Mouse album until his departure in 2012.
 Guitarist Johnny Marr (formerly of the Smiths) joined the band in 2006, shortly following percussionist Joe Plummer (formerly of the Black Heart Procession) and multi-instrumentalist Tom Peloso, to work on the album "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank".
 Guitarist Jim Fairchild joined the band in 2009.
 The band's sixth album, "Strangers to Ourselves", was released on March 17, 2015.
Slay Tracks (1933–1969) (usually referred to as Slay Tracks) is American indie rock band Pavement's debut extended play (EP).
 Pavement—at that time, a duo of just its two founding members Stephen Malkmus (guitar, vocals) and Scott Kannberg (guitar)—recorded "Slay Tracks" with producer and future member Gary Young (drums) during a four-hour session.
 Pavement self-released the EP as a 7" vinyl record on the band's own record label Treble Kicker in 1989.
 The music of "Slay Tracks" was influenced by indie and punk rock bands such as Swell Maps and The Fall, and many of the lyrics were inspired by life in the band's hometown of Stockton, California.
Unanimated are a Swedish melodic death metal band.
 They were founded in 1989 in Stockholm and dissolved in 1996.
 They have 7 current complete members.
 Largely inspired by Dismember, they made two melodic death metal albums.
 In 1993, "In the Forest of the Dreaming Dead" was released on Pavement Music, a label which has since merged with Crash Music Inc..
 In 1995 "Ancient God of Evil" was released on No Fashion Records, an independent Swedish label.
 The band also contributed to the 1996 Slayer tribute "Slatanic Slaughter II" with their cover of "Dead Skin Mask".
 Their music exemplifies the melodic Swedish sound and though primarily death metal, a black metal influence stands out.
 Former members have gone on to contribute to various other projects, most notably Therion, Entombed, and Dismember.
 In 2007, they reformed, and in April 2008, signed to Regain Records.
 The band has released a new album, titled "In The Light Of Darkness", in April 2009.
Ectoslavia was a band formed at the University of Virginia during the mid-1980s.
 It was composed of pre-Silver Jews, Yo La Tengo, and Pavement members David Berman, James McNew, Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich.
 UVA alumnus Gate Pratt was also a member of the band.
 The music of Ectoslavia used a great deal of noise and static underneath melodic pop-rock songs, not unlike early Pavement EPs like Perfect Sound Forever and Slay Tracks (1933–1969).
 The music of the group also used samples of known classical music, often directly over sheets of static or noise.
 Ectoslavia was referred to in the "Slow Century" DVD and also in the book "Perfect Sound Forever".
We Are Scientists is a New York City-based indie rock band that formed in Berkeley, California, in 2000.
 It consists of guitarist and vocalist Keith Murray and bass guitarist Chris Cain.
The Armchairs was a psychedelic rock band based in Philadelphia consisting of Michael Chadwick on keys, guitar and vocals, Michael Harkness on drums, Andy Molholt on guitar, keys and vocals, and Andrew Morris on bass.
 The band formed in 2007 when primary songwriters Molholt and Chadwick, then roommates at Columbia College, relocated to Philadelphia.
 In 2008 Harkness and Morris, then roommates at the University of the Arts, completed the line-up and the group started to perform steadily in the area.
 During the next three years the band gradually became a notable band in Philadelphia music scene with a cult following throughout the region and into the rest of the east coast and Midwestern United States.
 The band developed a reputation for their eccentric live show which "[walked] the tightrope between absurdist performance art and solid pop-rock".
 Their on-stage bits included readings of "The Communist Manifesto", Easter egg hunts, costume changes, and forcing audience members to take the stage to perform a song as the band takes a break.
 Musically, the band has been compared to Ween, The Mothers of Invention, Pavement, and The Kinks.
Since 2000, various artists have recorded a number of tribute albums dedicated to the rock band Phish.
 Like Phish's music, the albums cover a wide range of genres including reggae, bluegrass, classical music, and more.
 The first Phish tribute album - "Sharin' in the Groove" - was a double album created by a non-profit group of fans called The Mockingbird Foundation, who also published "The Phish Companion".
 The album features a number of high profile musicians performing Phish songs, including Jimmy Buffett, The Wailers, Dave Matthews, Arlo Guthrie, Hot Tuna, Tom Tom Club, and members of Pavement and Los Lobos.
 The members of Phish officially endorsed this album, which also featured an album release concert at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco led by Merl Saunders.
Pavement was an American indie rock band that formed in Stockton, California in 1989.
 The group mainly consisted of Stephen Malkmus (vocals and guitar), Scott Kannberg (guitar and vocals), Mark Ibold (bass), Steve West (drums) and Bob Nastanovich (percussion and vocals).
 Initially conceived as a recording project, the band at first avoided press or live performances, while attracting considerable underground attention with their early releases.
 Gradually evolving into a more polished band, Pavement recorded five full-length albums and nine EPs over the course of their decade-long career, though they disbanded with some acrimony in 1999 as the members moved on to other projects.
 In 2010, they undertook a well-received reunion tour.
