Pavement has revealed the first additions to their September U.S. headline itinerary since last year’s initial announcement of their reunion tour. At that point, four shows at New York City’s Central Park SummerStage sold out over one weekend.

The following six shows will be part of the reunion tour’s climactic conclusion at home in the U.S.

Last night at Town Hall in Auckland, NZ, Pavement played their first show in over 10 years. The band busted out a 25-song set that began with “In the Mouth a Desert,” from 1992′s full-length debut, Slanted and Enchanted and went on to include “Grounded,” “Cut Your Hair,” “Gold Soundz,” “Shady Lane,” “Rattled by the Rush,” “Range Life,” “Stereo,” and “Spit on a Stranger” amongst others.

Following the show, guitarist Scott “Spiral Stairs” Kannberg hit up his blog where he reported: “We were seriously nervous! The show was great. The fans were unreal. Whew… all those Pavement anxiety dreams can now go away!”

There are a bunch of YouTube videos posted here. We’ve pulled a few for your enjoyment:
