Yet in true Pavement style, they’ll probably leave it until circumstances are against them. This year, live music is predicted to follow the example of the record industry and collapse in on itself in a maelstrom of 360-deals and half-empty shows.

But it shouldn’t stop them, their insouciant brilliance deserves a second act, no matter how successful.
