The Pixies perform Doolittle...again!



The Pixies just announced they will be heading back out for an extended run of the 2009 Doolittle reunion tour. Last year, the band toured nation-wide in celebration of the album's 20th anniversary- and it seems like fans have asked for more.

The tour will hit 11 cities throughout September and will offer something the previous tour did not. At the end of each performance, you can get a CD copy of the show at the merch booth. I'd like to see the CD burner they have to tour with that can pop them out that quickly. It must be crazy! I digress...

The show will still feature all of the songs from Doolittle as well as the B-sides associated with the album. As of now, there is no information when tickets will be available.

And let's say you want to know what the band sounds like now after all these years? Then download a free copy of band's live EP.

Pixies Pix

Hey, went to the Pixies show but forgot my camera. These pictures are courtesy of my friend Brandy Booth! The show was amazing (but if Nikki asks, it sucked HARD!) If you get a chance go catch their show (tour dates).

Pixies DOOLITTLE Tour kicks off!




Yesterday, The Pixies kicked off their fall Doolittle tour at the Palladium in LA. This is the band's 20th Anniversary tour- which seems to be a trend with The Bounching Souls out on the road also celebrating their 20 years in punk! Anyway, The Pixies are playing through the month of November, but in limited cities. And the set list? The 1989's "Doolittle" in its entirety. However, considering these shows are at smaller clubs (hey, 2,800 capacity is fairly small for The Pixies), tickets are going to hard to come by. I say if you are trying to go, keep an eye out for contests and such...but maybe if you make them a nice cake they'll let you in...that's my game plan at least!

Check out this video of the band performing "Here Comes Your Man" and the kick off show last night:
