stopped by on Monday in support of the upcoming new album “Wig Out at Jagbags.” Malkmus brought an extra emphasis on guitar noodling to the stage during extended riffs on “Lariat.” Goes to show you how much he’s been honing his skills since the Pavement days. And isn’t it surreal that at this point Malkmus has been the leader of the Jicks longer than he was Pavement?
For the lot of us not able to attend the Fallon performance, a web performance exclusive of “Stick Figures in Love” is also available. The song includes a double dose of playful shredding by the Portland outfit. “Wig Out at Jagbags” is being released this week with an upcoming tour that starts off here in Denver at the on Feb. 12.
