In September 2010, Pavement appeared on "The Colbert Report" and "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon". After concluding their proper US tour at the Hollywood Bowl on September 30, the band played the following night in Las Vegas at the Palms Casino as a part of the Matador At 21 festival. During their set, Scott Kannberg kicked his monitor and smashed his guitar into his amp in frustration of not being able to hear himself while performing. "NME" noted the band had an "icy atmosphere onstage". The band honored a further two South American show commitments in November 2010.
