I managed to get seats. Missed General Admission standing tickets in the presale so waited for the main sale thinking there must have only been a few allocated for the presale. But they were all gone!
I notice scalpers already selling GA tickets for $175 on eBay. Greedy bastards.

I was lucky enough to get GA tickets. With all the scalped tickets on ebay, I wonder why it sold out so fast...

Saw em at Sydney at the Hordern on Sunday and Monday nights. Great fun, as expected. Was pretty crazy up the front on Monday night in particular. The sound was perfect.
2nd encores:
Sunday:
Where is My Mind
Planet Of Sound (!)
Dig For Fire
Gigantic
Monday:
Velouria :P
Nimrod's Son
Vamos
Where Is My Mind
was hoping for longer encores but oh well.... |

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". |

Saw ~P~ in Brisbane Thurs nite 18 March = they were good.
B-sides/Doolittle > Wave (UK Surf)/Into The White > Caribou/Holiday Song/Planet Of Sound/Gigantic/Where Is My Mind?
Btw, the venue turned all the lights on at the start of the 2nd encore (assuming the show was over I guess) and they stayed on until the end of the last song. Interesting move.
