I was thinking of going down anyway, but it's unlikely anyone would get in, sadly. Seems a strange way to run things. |

What time are they 'playing' tonight?
I'm sorely tempted, last time I did a spur of the moment thing was the London precore......that was well worth it and I haven't washed my right hand since.......well I have but you know what I mean ;-) |

From the clips of recent performances, BF seems really into it, playing guitar quite violently etc. Good to see. |

pixies playing cecilia ann, dig for fire, allison, boom chicka boom...
just a few songs extra can make a lot of difference.

A good clip of the band playing 'Monkey Gone to Heaven' at the Isle of Wight Festival. BF was interviewed beforehand, in which inexplicably popular British comic Rufus Hound asked a bunch of questions. |

Three, at least. You'll probably be allowed in after loitering outside for an hour and they'll be playing 'Where Is My Mind?' as an encore. Ha. Serves you right, you loiterer, you. |

Good luck getting in... it's invite only, no tickets for sale. It's a launch party for Minotaur. Lots of artwork on display, Vaughan Oliver will be there, Simon Larbalestier as well, and all 4 Pixies. |

Rang the venue, and they said "Private gig. No tickets available", although they weren't sure whether it was actually a performance or not. |

Bizarrely, the link doesn't seem to work now.
The 15th June London one seems interesting. obviously to tie in with the 'Minotaur' release |

THE BIG EVENTS
Isle of Wight
June 12-14, Seaclose Park,
Newport
The summer’s first big,
mainstream festival has bagged
Neil Young before he sets foot in
Somerset, plus the Prodigy,
Razorlight, Maxïmo Park, the
Pixies and Pendulum. The
original Isle of Wight’s reputation
was for rock, but the revived
festival caters equally for pop
fans — McFly, Will Young and
the Script share the bill. If you
can’t face the ferry, the festival
will be broadcast on ITV2,
although a 10-minute trip on the water is surely preferable to hour
of fluffy host Fearne Cotton.
Times Online - The festival survival guide; our top tips.
...How will you live?
Is a basic standard of living tied into your enjoyment of a weekend
of music and, optimistically, sun? I met someone last week who
went to Glastonbury in 2005, the year the camp sites were wiped
out by flash floods. “It wouldn’t have been so bad,” she mused,
clearly still scarred, “but I’d been there for six days before the
festival even started, so I was already miserable.” The lesson?
Pace yourself. And don’t pitch your tent next to a river. Or the
toilets. Or floodlights.
Or the car park. Or the cast of Hollyoaks. I’ve tried them all. If
camping really isn’t for you (and there’s no shame in that), then
you could try one of the wonderful All Tomorrow’s Parties
weekenders, which take place roughly three times a year at a
Butlins holiday camp. Not only do you get bemused redcoats
mingling with earnest Sonic Youth fans, the chalet
accommodation means you also get a kitchen, a bed and a
bathroom that isn’t shared with several thousand other people.
Where reliving Hi-De-Hi! isn’t an option, there are still plenty of tent
alternatives — rentable pods and seaside shacks make a happy
medium at Glastonbury, most sites will let you bring in a caravan
for a few extra quid, and if you choose a festival that’s within
walking distance of a town centre, such as Reading, or London’s
Wireless, you can cheat and stay in a hotel, like the bands do. I
once shared a lift with Frank Black and Kim Deal. I’m a big Pixies
fan. I didn’t say a word and they didn’t acknowledge my presence,
but still — the Pixies! In a lift!... |

a bit from kim deal interview:
http://pitchfork.com/news/35091-kim-and-kelley-deal-talk-new-breeders-ep-self-sufficiency-and-the-pixies/
Pitchfork: You're playing another Pixies show this summer. Is that just a one-off?
Kim: We're doing dates in June. There's some things. I don't think they're completely confirmed; that's probably the only reason why they haven't been announced. There's one in the Scandinavia area and maybe one Greece. And then there's the Isle of Wight one. That's going to be so cool.
Pitchfork: But you're not going on another big reunion tour?
Kim: Not that I know of, no. We have somebody overseas who books us. If the booking agent gets enough offers, he goes to the band and says, "Guys, I can get you guys a few gigs if you're into it." So that's what's happened.
Pitchfork: So you're into it?
Kim: I really enjoyed playing the [Pixies reunion] shows. I thought that they were really fun. It's fun to play bass in a band. I've played guitar all my life except for the five years with the Pixies I played bass on stage. It's fun to play a different instrument on stage. It's nice not to have to sing. All I have to do is just build up a blister, this one blister on my ring finger. It's the "I Bleed" blister. That requires a certain specific blister on a certain part of my ring finger.
Pitchfork: And that's the only bad thing about it?
Kim: That's the only bad thing about it. I just have to build that blister up. But it's painful. The only way to build a callus up is to create a blister, to wound the skin. But I can do it. I'll steel myself and build a callus up on my ring finger. I can do it.
Pitchfork: Still no plans to record with the Pixies or anything?
Kim: Negative.
