Pixies are playing two shows in the Olympia theatre in October. Tickets go on sale this Friday. I imagine it will be Worse than getting tix for Miley cyrus but just thought I'd let all Irish boys know

Apparently the next leg of the tour (this show included, I'd assume) is going to involve Trompe Le Monde in it's entirety with all b-sides and such, so that should be cool.
Saw them on the first lap of the reunion tour - it was pretty good. Not life altering - but a solid show nonetheless... |

They're playing Doolittle and all it's b-sides, not Trompe le Monde

must be the cool thing to do now, go out and play a whole album live. seems like every band is doing it lately. i would love to see them play doolittle through, its one of my favorite albums. last i checked, theyre not coming to the states?

They'll come to the States sometime in the fall, I'm guessing. I'm really torn about going, though. They're easily one of my top 20 bands ever and I don't think I can pass up seeing them, but this tour reeks of "cash-in" especially now that they're playing all of Doolittle live. I don't know. I just don't want a bad live experience to put a damper on one of my favorite bands.

going is better than sitting around not doing anything. so if you dont end up going, make sure whatever you do is really cool so you dont think, "man, i could be at a pixies concert right now." |

I'd still love to see them live, personally.
I've heard mixed things about their last few shows, but the good ones definitely seem to outweigh the hell out of the "Meh" ones. |

Got tickets for Dublin this morning. I haven't seen them since they reformed, but saw them a lot in the 90s. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out!
