I think people generally have no idea how expensive/hard to arrange a tour down under is. there is no 'cheap' way to travel there, and for a band to travel there, there pretty much needs to be a guarantee of big crowds and near-sellout shows. perhaps there is not this type of gurantee for the pixies/FB. i understand your frustration, because that would sure drive me nuts, but it not like FB lives in London and won't go to Liverpool. It's a bit more complicated...

just stow away on a plane and go see them in euroupe this summer :) That's my plan j/k.
no, I feel your pain. just save up your $, ebay your stuff, find a cheap flight and just do it as a once in a life time thing.

Anyone else got any more? We may as well play a game whilst this thread is so quiet.

I really hope FB and/or Pixies can make it to Aust sometime. Breeders have been twice, Amps once, FB solo once also - but to miss out on Pixies again would be heart-breaking, since they never toured originally [1987-91] either.
Just about everyone else has turned up at some stage, from obscurities to Nirvana.
Anyway I don't think money is the issue, it's timing. I just hope time doesn't run out...

| AAhhh the old money issue.. Well I hate to make a comparison to an oldschool alternative band such as the violent femmes, but i will do so for this situation as an example of how their tour of australia went. In NSW alone they booked one show at the metro, it sold out in a couple of days, then they announced a second there. I was in newcastle and purchased tickets to a sydney show, sure enough, a couple of weeks after i purchased my ticket they also announced a show in Newcastle. All due to unexpected popularity. So I'm more likely to recommend the pixies leave a few gaps in their schedule when they organise their tour for a few extra dates to handle demand so as to not disapoint the legion of fans that are here. |

Nothing, sorry. Not to say that means there's nothing planned, just nothing I've heard.
The Australia thing is something you can probably count on. Famous last words though, I suppose.
