never "got" this band.

NME reports and the band's reps confirm that the Pixies will continue to celebrate one of those albums, 1989's Doolittle, when they tour Europe in October. At these shows, the band will play every song from Doolittle, along with all the associated B-sides. And you know what that means: "Debaser", "Here Comes Your Man", "La La Love You", "Gouge Away". Doolittle turns 20 this year, after all. It's almost old enough to buy beer! In a statement, frontman Black Francis had this to say: "We wanted to do something special for Doolittle's 20th anniversary, and we thought this was a good opportunity to play all of the songs from that album, something we don't normally do at a regular gig."

Sweet

19 years to the day - National Stadium gig.

I saw them in twice on their reunion tours - in Landsdown Road and Phoenix Park. Both were really good gigs. They made Kings Of Leon and Red Hot Shitty Peppers, respectively, both seem totally pointless.

Is Kim Deal still in the band? She doesn't seem to like Mr. Black at all.

yeah that was great. i remember when they chillis came onstage some boggers beside us lost the run of themselves and charged towards the stage kicking a full pint of beer in dutchy's face in the process. very amusing

"Belfast tomorrow. Should we bring guns?"

 

[Kermit McDermott]

The olympia (or a similar size) is the proper venue to see the pixies in. I was at the phoenix park and the lansdowne rd. gigs, Not a fan of big gigs at all.

Were you there yourself...?

yep, £6 or £6.50. Pale Saints support. 35 songs. Both versions of Wave of Mutilation. Deadly slam dancing in the aisles.

Point wasn't as good.

 

[Cryptid]

Slam dancing was great. They played in the SFX as well? I never saw them til the reunion.

Agree re Olympia. I'd say this could sell out fast.
