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.

I was in Italy so I think my absence was justifiable.

My friend's didn't mention seeing you. THAT'S how much you mean to them.

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.

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."
