Nah ... I mean, if it's the Pixies, I'll definitely hand it to you guys ... you guys got a huge treat and it was great you snatched up those tickets as fast as you did ... but really, pre-warmup tour, in front of 200 people, that's a glorified rehearsal, not a concert. And don't get me wrong ... I would pretty much give an arm and a leg to see the Pixies rehearse, glorified or not, but in Winnipeg, it's a little bit more the Real Deal and historically I'm sure it will be recorded as the first show no matter what happens in LA. There might be an asterisk for the LA show, that's about it.
And again ... it would be a tremenendous experience for you guys, one that the Winnipeg people won't have, but each will be tremendous in its own special way :) |

roomloo, give it up. You know you're jealous (as am I!)
One thing that I find interesting - the 2nd show is *still* available. LA is a pretty small town in certain circles, you would have thought buzz would be circulating enough to at least sell out that show too, if something was up.
BTW I'm still looking for a ticket to that first show if someone wants to trade...

| Jealous, yes! But not the way I would be if they decided to, say, tack on another Winnipeg show to the Official Tour on April 13th (the way we were fearing they would for a few days there). Then I would be pissed. |

... and while I've heard of secret shows, I've never heard of a 'secret pre-warmup mini-tour'!
This gets stranger by the minute...

| I guess one weird thing is that all (four?) shows that have been announced have been billed as the Breeders. Is that really the way to do a "secret" Pixies mini-tour? I mean, after the first show, the cat would totally be out of the bag. Granted, the tickets would already be sold out and it's not like people wouldn't have been speculating all along ... but if people KNOW it's the Pixies, the remaining shows in Cali will be out of control. 10 times as many people will be showing up at the venues as have tickets, people would be doing everything they can to get in, it could be chaos ... I'm not sure if that would be a desirable situation for anybody. |

roomloo,
Seriously! You need to give it up!
Okay, we understand. You have sufficiently beat it into our heads.
YOU ARE GOING TO SEE THE VERY FIRSTEST MOST SPECIALEST PIXIES SHOW EVER IN WINNIPEG, AND NOTHING...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, NOT EVEN A SECRET "REHEARSAL" BY THE PIXIES IN LOS ANGELES IN FRONT OF ONLY 200 PEOPLE CAN COMPARE. YOU WIN!!! YOU ARE THE BESTEST!!! I BOW BEFORE YOUR GREAT FAN-NESS. YOU ARE THE MAN. AND YOU ARE EXTREMELY GOOD LOOKING. AND YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL SENSE OF HUMOR, AND ARE A GREAT HUMAN BEING.
Are you satisfied?
Can those of us who bought ticket to see THE BREEDERS enjoy the show! And can we at least speculate that maybe this will be more than just a Breeders show (even if Black Francis and Joey Santiago and David Lovering show up, I understand that I will NOT BE SEEING THE FIRSTEST MOST OFFICIALEST PIXIES REUNION SHOW!!! ok?) Please.
I ALSO believe.

| Yeah kromkamp, it is bay area. But your posting about LA buzz selling out the second show confused me. LA and the Bay area (i.e. San Francisco and Oakland) are approximately 500 miles apart. |

pixiesseixsipipip,
Dude, chill out man. Kromkamp told me to give it a rest in a jovial sort of way and you're getting all serious on me. Did you even READ my last three or four posts? Sheesh, I've given you Cali people all kinds of credit ... pretty much, I concede that we're on a level plain, even handing it to you that you're getting something nobody else is getting and I'm jealous of that ... or is there some other Roomloo posting on this thread that I'm missing? Okay, that must be it, I apologize, but that other Roomloo must be a HUGE jerk to be such a killjoy, not even conceding that there is nothing at all disappointing about seeing the Breeders in a tiny venue...
*yawn*
Again, I just think the Winnipeg people need to be reminded not to freak out and get all depressed about this. People were sort of freaking earlier. I'm not trying to put us above anyone ... just trying to show that an early LA show isn't a be-all-end-all sort of thing. |

Didn't a friend of the Breeders post a while back that Kim said she had just talked to Frank for the first time in years, and told the rest of the band that they should look for other work for the next year or so? Maybe it's a little way of getting a few bucks in the pocket of the rest of the band before Kim takes off for a while. It does seem quite suspicious that it's in late March, around the time of their next rehearsal. However, that could easily be a coincidence, since the time between the last Pixies rehearsal and the next one would give the Breeders a good chance to rehearse a bit and throw out a few shows for everybody.

fairfax is where lohny linn (however its spelled), the american taliban is from, thats its claim to fame (or infamy)
just talked to someone familiar with the coachella artist contracts...The bands that participate are specifically banned from any LA area shows till August, no matter what you call yourself or who your special guests are..So these probably are breeders shows unless the pixies are nuts and willing to sacrifice loosing the cash from coachella contract by breeching it..Now that doesnt apply for the norcal gigs, but they are probably breeders shows as well
now as for the knucklehead with the $1500 a pair buy it now on ebay for the spaceland gigs, um..i hope nobody is that gullible |

| Thats probably why they are calling themselves the breeders. The breeders have had several lineups. Whose to say that Kelly Deal is sick and Joey, David, and Charles aren't filling in. |

| It will be interesting to see what happens here. I remember when I lived in Seattle (most my life) bands like Soundgarden and Pearl Jam used to do secret shows, but the names they used were always very cryptic. Well, I guess we'll find out in a couple weeks, anyway! |

It looks like a real Breeders show, folks. The Breeders guitar player, Richard Presley, has updated the noaloha.com site with this...
Hey Y'all, The Breeders will be doing some shows this month. It's all kinda last minute, and it's all gonna be local stuff for us here in California. It's a week long "Tour". We have also been in the studio in between Kim's Pixies activities trying out some new stuff. So yes, there will be a new Breeders album. Anyhoo, here are the dates that have been confermed so far:
March 21- Spaceland, Silver Lake(L.A)
March 27- Slims, San Francisco
March 30- The Troubadour, West Hollywood(L.A)
March 31- The Belly Up, San Diego
There will be more dates added tommorrow probably, so I"ll keep y'all posted. Spread the word, and I'll see you there.
BYEBYE
Richard

So I assume this pretty much puts an end to the rumors that it'll be the Pixies. Am I right?

I've bought tickets for March 24 in Fairfax, so I suppose that will be added to the list. |

I don't know what my deal is, but I seem to always want to take the contrary position here, even if it means contradicting myself.
But anyway ... not to sound too conspiratorial, but wouldn't Richard's message be EXACTLY the sort of cover-up the Pixies would want in order to detract attention from a secret mini-tour? :)
Oh geez, I need to leave this thread ... I've addicted myself to it. Goodnight! |

FYI, it isn't impossible that the Pixies might do a 'surprise' show. Anything can happen...tho i don't believe it'll be either the FB solo show or the Breeders show on the 21st.. That's all i got right now.

maybe, maybe,maybe?
geez you guys
can't we dream?
so many bubble-busters
get off of my cloud
i'm going
it's cheap
i will report back here immedately with the outcome
i've never seen the breeders up close
pod was my favorite, so maybe pixies practices will influence the set
they could use the boost, and maybe frank's(do we call him black now?) influence will put some fire in em
albini couldn't
viva la winnipeg!!!!!
they are the officially the bestest
btw, i always thought that the best shows i have ever seen were the ones on the very last day of the tour not the 1st |
