===1992–present: reunions and reissues=== {{multiple image | direction = vertical | image1 = Slint-3.jpg | caption1 = | image2 = Slint-2.jpg | caption2 = | footer = Slint at the 2007 [[Pitchfork Music Festival]] | total_width = 230 }} The band briefly reformed in 1992, and again in 1994. During this time, Touch and Go Records reissued ''[[Tweez]]'' in 1993, and in 1994 an [[untitled Slint EP|untitled 10"]] [[Extended play|EP]] of the two songs from the shelved tapes recorded between their two albums—one a reinterpretation of "Rhoda" from ''Tweez'', and the other a track called "Glenn". Members of Slint have since appeared in a number of bands. Pajo has been a member of [[Dead Child]], [[Tortoise (band)|Tortoise]], [[Will Oldham|Palace]], [[The For Carnation]], [[Household Gods (band)|Household Gods]], the short-lived [[Billy Corgan]]-fronted rock band [[Zwan]], and as of 2021, [[Gang of Four (band)|Gang of Four]]. In 2009, he performed with [[Yeah Yeah Yeahs]] as a live back-up musician. He briefly played in [[Stereolab]], took up bass in [[Interpol (band)|Interpol]], and performs under the moniker [[David Pajo|PAJO]] and occasionally with his band [[Papa M]], also known as Aerial M, or just M.<ref>{{cite news|last=Ratliff|first=Ben|date=September 5, 2010|title=Body Language, Translated and Remixed|work=[[The New York Times]]|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/06/arts/music/06all.html|issn=0362-4331}}</ref> Guitarist Brian McMahan formed [[The For Carnation]] in 1994 and also played with [[Will Oldham]] in Palace. Britt Walford played drums in Evergreen, and for [[The Breeders]] under the pseudonym Shannon Doughton on the album ''[[Pod (The Breeders album)|Pod]]'', and as Mike Hunt on the ''[[Safari (Breeders EP)|Safari]]'' EP. [[Ethan Buckler]] has released several albums with his group [[King Kong (American band)|King Kong]] featuring an ever-shifting cast of members who have occasionally included David Pajo. Nearly fifteen years after originally disbanding, three members of Slint—Brian McMahan, [[David Pajo]], and Britt Walford—reunited to curate the 2005 [[All Tomorrow's Parties (music festival)|All Tomorrow's Parties]] (ATP) music festival in [[Camber Sands]], England. Also in 2005, Slint played a number of shows in the U.S. and in Europe.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.descendo.com/slint/ |title=Slint reunion 2005 |publisher=Descendo.com |access-date=March 29, 2014}}</ref> Though they insisted the reunion was short-term, the band regrouped once again in 2007 to perform ''Spiderland'' in its entirety in Barcelona as part of the [[Primavera Sound Festival]], in London as part of the ATP ''Don't Look Back'' series of shows, as well as at a handful of dates in Europe, the U.S. (at Chicago's Pitchfork Music Festival, the Showbox in Seattle, and the Henry Fonda Theatre in Hollywood), and Canada. In addition to performing the album and the EP ''Slint'', they also debuted a new composition called "King's Approach",<ref>{{cite web|title=News {{!}} Touch and Go / Quarterstick Records|url=http://www.touchandgorecords.com/news/detail.php?id=238|access-date=March 29, 2014|publisher=[[Touch and Go Records]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=zlayed|date=May 4, 2011|title=Slint - King's approach|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCM5cvDAU6M|access-date=October 27, 2018|publisher=[[YouTube]]}}</ref> which remains unrecorded. In a September 2012 interview conducted with Northern Irish music publication [[AU Magazine]], [[David Pajo]] hinted at more activity from the band in the coming months: "We still communicate regularly and we've got some surprises for next year that fans will be excited about.
