Frank in illinoisentertainer.com this week:
"If we tour Japan and Australia in the winter, we'll basically have played everywhere that we can play on the legs of this reunion status."

Ha, the first and last Welsh show was in Cardiff in 1988. I would have gone to my home town gig if I hadn't been only three years old.
But still, the trip to London is an effort worth making.

The Pixies Confirm UK Shows This Summer
Posted by stereoboard on July 30, 2005 at 03:12:14 PM
The Pixies have announced details of some summer shows.
The band will play Edinburgh's Meadowbank Stadium on August 28th as part of T On The Fringe, Manchester Apollo August 30th and London's Alexandra Palace on August 31st.
The group will also play at Carling Weekend: Reading Festival on August 26th and the Leeds Festival August 27th.
Tickets for the UK gigs are on sale now.
The group are also making plans to put together a new album, their first in over 14 years.
Frank Black told MTV: "We gotta do something else if we're going to go out there and continue to make money."
"I mean, we could keep doing it the way we're doing it, but it might ... at some point, we'll be overstaying our welcome, so to speak, as the reunited band. We have to either stop being reunited and go back to our lives or do something vital and relevant."
That something could very well be the first Pixies studio album in 14 years. |

Manchester had sold out through Alive (the company which is linked from the Apollo web site for tickets) just as I finished placing my order at 9.08 am. I checked out all the other online sites just afterwards out of curiosity, and only rear circle seats were left, if any at all. Perhaps they kept some back, though God knows why.
I see some have already found their way on to eBay, e.g.:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=16067&item=6550007665&rd=1&ssPageName=WD4V
How can you sell something you don't actually possess at the moment? |

Mike, I honestly don't know when I could pay you back, how much are the tickets?
If you invite people who all have the same blood type to a party, but you don't tell them, they'll talk about something else |
