History repeats itself…the only time I could see the Pixies in Montreal was in 1992 when they opened for U2. Now they seem to be at it again: Ignoring the north-east-coast cities/ touring Europe and Western Canada and the US ad-nauseum…..what the fuck!!!? Toronto? (yet another reason to hate that city)….If I went to Toronto, it would mean driving 8 hours there and 8 hours back in the middle of the week…..may have been able when I was 17 or 18….but not anymore…GET YER ASSES OVER HERE!!!!! |

Yea...I went to that Breeders show....really cut short huh?
WELL... this is a shot in the dark, but, if anyone in Montreal has an extra ticket to Toronto, and can let me hitch a ride, I'll help pay for gas as well as pay double the ticket price... |

I've been to the winnipeg show,
I didn't want to wait for a hypothetical fall date in the east, so I took a day off and flew there.
it was a great show, the vibe was incredible, but seeing what I saw onstage, I have serious doubts that they can keep going on like this for a year.
Unless miss Deal get her shit together and slow down the booze a bit. (she almost fell when she tripped on her amp cord: imagine what would have happened if she did fell and hurt herself...) don't get me wrong here, I like her smile,
but she looked pretty much plastered from the start.
Remember the last Breeder show in Montreal? There was a guy onstage who replaced beers on her amp during the whole show.
I think the only reason why she could not drink as much during this Pixie show was the very short time in between songs - 10 seconds max? -
which is not much, even to light up a cigarette.
So if you have a chance to see them in Toronto, go for it,
don't wait !

I'm hoping they'll anounce a Montreal show next fall... I was in Manitoba when the Toronto tickets went on sale so I couldn't get any.
Just got back from Manitoba... I'll post some pics soon. |

I really hope they will add some east-coast cities including Montreal in their Tour this Fall. I got my tickets for the Toronto concert but it would be a lot easier if they come to our city.
Frank Black (in solo) always comes to Montreal in his Tours and now with The Pixies, Montreal would be deserted, that's really bad 
Montreal: the most beautiful city in canada.  
[frank_black_francis: it doesn't takes 8 hours to go to Toronto from Montreal in car? Please tell me you were joking...] |

they are worried you will give them the same supports as the expos :)
Wait, the Pixies Montreal show is actually in San Juan |
