U.S. Rockers Pavement are reluctant to reunite amidst rumours of a rift between singer Stephen Malkmus and the rest of the band.

The band split in 1999, but people are keen to see them return for this year’s musical festival Coachella.

Guitarist Scott Kannberg told Loudandquiet.com: “Coachella keep asking our booking agent, but I think that's too soon, it might have to be pushed back later”.

Despite this, he adds that 2009 would be a good time to reunite, as this would be the band’s 20th anniversary.

He added: “It could be a fun thing to do, go and play your favourite songs every night. Everything's fine now (between the band members), so I don't see why not”.
