[edit] Career

Kannberg was a childhood friend of Stephen Malkmus, both of them growing up in Stockton, California. Together they would form the band Pavement under the pseudonyms "Spiral Stairs" and "SM", respectively. Kannberg wrote and sang lead vocals on several Pavement songs, including "Painted Soldiers", "Hit the Plane Down", "Kennel District", "Date w/IKEA", and "Passat Dream". After Pavement disbanded he formed a new band called Preston School of Industry on Matador Records. The band released two albums and an EP, but became inactive in 2004.

He released his first solo album in 2009.
