On Bf.net it has a Brisbane date (at "The Zoo") just before Splendour - can't find any other mention of it besides a facebook page with no details. Looks like one of their 'warm-up' shows, given they wont play for a month before Splendour. I want a ticket! |

They're playing Splendor in the Grass and doing another Greatest Hits show. I hope next time they tour they do a show for the uber fans of late era stuff, some rarities and (gasp) some new tracks. |

The Swell Season proved to be an early highlight. Featuring former
lovers Glen Hansard of the Frames and Czech singer and pianist
Marketa Irglova, who rose to fame through the 2007 film Once, the outfit performed hits Falling Slowly and
When Your Mind's Made Up as well as Van Morrison's Astral Weeks.
The set ended with a surprise appearance by Pixies frontman Black Francis.
Although the iconic US rocker wasn't on the Blues 'N' Roots bill, he turned up to support Hansard and
Irglova.
Together they performed the seminal Pixies hit Where is My Mind? to the ecstasy of many Gen Xers.
keeping it krause: Pixies.
I love the way this guy scribbled some drawings instead of photos! :D

Frank didn't say a word between songs on either night, apart from mouthing something like "what the fuck, man" in disgust at some clown who starting frisbeeing cds towards the stage on the first night. He was in great voice though.
Kim was more talkative, but said the same things at the same time each night, ie. "some b-sides" "thats the end of side one" "we know songs that aren't on that album by the way".
Planet Of Sound was sensational, and I was dying to hear Velouria after never hearing it in my first 3 pixies experiences - was a great way to end the 2nd night. Oh yeh, before "Dig For Fire", Kim said "we had to practice this one this morning. Its gonna be good". And it was. I'm jealous though Benji - that encore on the 12th looks....frenetic. Probably a good thing though, energy levels were nearing zero around the time of Crackity Jones. I'm getting too old.
Can't get over how good they sounded though, especially after the woeful openers "The Art". They did have some comical song names though...."Figment Of My Imagination"..."Indecisive Weirdo". |

Posted - 03/16/2010 : 19:20:44

The Australian - Confessions of a Pixies addict.
*bump*
WA Today - Rock legends of the past flocking to WA.
Another hugely influential band out of the 80s is The Pixies.
Formed in Boston in 1986 and disbanding in 1992, this is only the
second time they have come to Australia. The first was when
they reformed in 2007 and now they will be in town to celebrate
the 20th anniversary of their third album, 1989s Doolittle. The
Pixies legacy is said to have helped form the alternative rock
boom of the 1990s, Kurt Cobain of Nirvana cited Pixies second
album Surfer Rosa as one of his main influences. You can still
witness your own piece of rock history when The Pixies play at
Belvoir Amphitheatre on March 27 as tickets are still available.
