When I saw them for three songs at the SECC in 1991 I had to sit through several hours of not very good glasgow bads, three no less, cud, bmx bandits and teenage fanclub. I enjoying not one of them. But when the main act came on the atmospahere in the place went wild like no other gig I remember

When I saw them at brixton in 2004, the support act was graham coxon. They played a great set, I thoroughly enjoyed them, but I was understandably also not thaet bovvered because the next band was... It wasn't until several years later that I found out who coxon was, the guitarist from blur, and what a great musician he is!

I just wondered what band(s) people would like to see as the support act, because you can be rest assured it'll be a fairly big act possibly worth seeing.

I'd like to see maybe Les Savy Fav, but then they would probably have to tour with them. Otherwise I'd really love to see Clinic support them. They don't seem to tour very much, and they are very mysterious. I'd just love to see them somewhere, once in my life.

Otherwise maybe:

Metronomy!

I wouldn't want anything that would blow my mind beforehad, so weezer could work.

For the 2004 Brixton shows, there was a different support act every night.

Back in 2004, Graham Coxon played one night, Badly Drawn Boy another. Dave Lovering did his magic show one night too.

You didn't enjoy bmx bandits or teenage fanclub?! Crazy!
Teenage Fanclub (or the Fannies as they're affectionately known as) supported the Pixies again in 2005 in Edinburgh along with My Latest Novel.

They also covered Here Comes Your Man on one of their singles a few years back...and then there's the Teenage Fanclub and Frank Black John Peel sessions, that was pretty awesome! So I guess they're pretty friendly!

Anyway I would like any of the following to support the Pixies...

Modest Mouse
Lemonheads
Dinosaur Jr
Calexico
Fleet Foxes
My Morning Jacket
Detroit Cobras
Death Cab For Cutie

It says here that the support act for the SECC is to be the Glasgow band Sons and Daughters.

http://www.last.fm/event/1124729+Pixies+at+S.E.C.C.+on+4+October+2009

Never heard of them but here they are on YouTube.

Confirmed on myspace.

Can't say I've that impressed with what I hear. It'll just be lke in 1991 when I had to stand through Teenage Fanclub, BMX Bandits and CUD, only not as long.
