[edit] Biography
Born in Santa Monica, CA, raised in Stockton, CA, Malkmus attended High School in Carpinteria, CA, at Cate School, a prestigious boarding school. After graduation, Malkmus followed in his father's footsteps by attending the University of Virginia; he majored in history and was a disc jockey for the radio station WTJU. Malkmus formed and fronted Pavement while he was living in Stockton, California during the 1980s. Their first album, Slanted & Enchanted, was released to critical acclaim, and the band continued to receive attention for subsequent releases. Pavement, and Malkmus in particular, was hailed as spearheading the underground indie movement of the 1990s. In 2001, following the 1999 dissolution of the band, Malkmus released his first self-titled solo album. He also was a member of rock group The Silver Jews along with poet/lyricist David Berman, but was kicked out by Berman during their Natural Bridge recording.[citation needed] Malkmus' current solo career is backed by musical band The Jicks. In early 1999 Stephen Malkmus participated in a Sonic Youth side project that included bassist/vocalist Kim Gordon, guitarist/vocalist Thurston Moore, Chicago avant-garde veteran Jim O'Rourke, and renowned Japanese drummer Ikue Mori. The project was named Kim's Bedroom. They never released an album, but did play a few live shows.
Malkmus currently resides in Portland, Oregon with his wife, artist Jessica Jackson Hutchins. In 2005, Hutchins gave birth to the couple's first child, a daughter named Lottie. Hutchins and Malkmus were married on October 7, 2006 in New York.

On May 23, 2003 in Milwaukee, while touring with his new band The Jicks, Malkmus opened the show by saying, "This is off our first record." The band then proceeded to play an evening's worth of Pavement songs. This show has been dubbed by fans as The Milwaukee Show.
Malkmus is an avid sports fan. He enjoys tennis, football and closely follows MLB and NFL.[citation needed]
Malkmus also worked as a security guard and custodian at the Whitney Museum for a short period.[citation needed]
In 2007, Malkmus provided the singing voice for Cate Blanchett's portrayal of Bob Dylan in Todd Haynes' film "I'm Not There." He contributed on the songs Ballad of a Thin Man, Can't Leave Her Behind, and Maggie's Farm.
Malkmus' fourth studio album with The Jicks, Real Emotional Trash, is set for release in March 2008.

(Note: Even though Pig Lib is the only album that titularly recognizes the Jicks by listing the artist name as "Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks," the self-titled album Stephen Malkmus is, in fact, a Jicks recording. Initially, Malkmus wanted to simply call his post-Pavement band the Jicks with no mention of his name, but Matador records resisted the idea and released the new album from SM as Stephen Malkmus with no mention of the Jicks. Face the Truth is technically Stephen Malkmus's only true solo affair, though the Jicks do provide instrumentation on nearly every song.)
