In the true spirit of fb.net rumor-mongering (i.e., all rumors are probably true until proven false, and all leads must be followed to the point of exhaustion lest we be left out of something big), I will be making a couple trips to Fine Line today and tomorrow in hopes of eavesdropping on a rehearsal. I think my first trip will be in a few minutes -- the reasoning being, Sunday morning is probably the time least likely to draw attention. But ah, we are always two steps ahead...
Anyway, if anyone else wants to "work" a shift or two, post here so we can spread it out, be efficient and everything. |

I was about to start the rumor mill up again too. At the Twilight Singers show on Friday I noticed none of the calenders at the show listed any of those bands that are supposedly playing Monday night. We asked a bartender about those bands and said that acording to the website they are scheduled on Monday. He plainly said No, were closed on Monday, the Pixies are rehearsing. Maybe a lack of communication, maybe something more.
I'll try to stop by today in between family stuff. Maybe around 4pm if I can get away for that long. |

I was just there at 11am and some band was loading from an unmarked yellow van with Minnesota plates parked in the alleyway. I did as much snooping as I could without looking suspicious, and got enough of a glimpse of everyone to determine that none of them were Pixies. So either this was Rocket Equation, or the Pixies have half a dozen roadies (most of whom looking nothing at all like your stereotypical roadies -- they looked more like small-time musicians).
But again in the spirit of rumors, some questions:
- Why would the Fine Line open their doors at 11am on Easter Sunday unless it was someone important, considering that no show is scheduled until tomorrow night?
- If this was really Rocket Equation, why are they setting up 36 hours in advance?
- Is there some other show at the Fine Line tonight, something unannounced but having absolutely nothing to do with the Pixies?
God, I'm as bad as the LA people now. I don't really believe this has anything to do with the Pixies. But I'll be stopping by again in a few minutes :) |

Ha! I love this board.
Band stalking, secret shows, conspiracy theories. The fun never ends.
Get ready for the first Pixies show in over a decade...TOMORROW, MONDAY APRIL 12th!!!
(I just hope Disclive is there to document the event!) |

| I'll see what I can do. Seriously, even if they were to hypothetically play tomorrow, I wouldn't necessarily even get into the show... |

Nothing contradicts the fact that they are rehearsing today at the Fine Line. So the fact they are unloading today makes sense.
Still, I think I've proven I'm game for as much rumor-mongering as the next guy, so bring it on

they're probably going to start rehearsing in a bit here, Dave called me, said they put up a curtain at the front of the venue (normally you can see in fine)
he also heard someone playing the opening chords of U-Mass a bit ago :)
i guess they're not in town yet, but are likely doing a soundcheck today, since they can't tomorrow (there's another show booked there)

This is so exciting! It's like having live play by play commentary building up to the big event! I'm not going to Minneapolis, but I'm so excited for (and jealous of) you guys there!
Can I also beg for a kind soul to pick up an extra Disclive cd for me if the Pixies do wind up playing before Tuesday??! I'd totally pay for shipping, your trouble, etc. if you could help me out! Please?
Although I doubt they'll play a show before Tuesday, who knows? I'm dying to hear their first show back together! What's up with this "Rocket Equation" thing??
I can't wait to see what happens!!
Keep us posted!

get it through your skull, THE BANDS PLAAYING TOMORROW ARE REAL :)
sorry to be blunt, but :)
haven't you ever been to a show, where their roadies soundcheck their guitars after setting em up, and they play random chords/songs? there you go :)
the band isn't there (yet)

they don't want to do it on Tue because there will be too many people floating around, both fans and working people.
it's Sunday, there is NOTHING going on downtown, and on the weekends, unless there is a game or concert at the Target center, Sat & Sun mornings/afternoons, Mpls looks like a ghost town :)

hey solace,
sorry for getting all excited :)
I'm on a real slow internet connection...your replies were popping up after I sent my messages.
(although I'll be the first to admit to being a sucker for a good rumor :) |

Awww man!
What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall inside the Fine Line right now!
If I were a MN resident, I would be down there right now with my ear pressed against the front door!
This is HISTORY, baby! |

Ha! That's awesome! dude, unless my ear can stretch from LA to Minneapolis, it ain't happening.
I can't wait till Tuesday!!
(Actually, I'll probably be avoiding this forum from Tuesday until I get to see them in Davis)
But until Tuesday night, keep the updates coming!

As much as I hate to say this, please no more info on the potential set-list just yet
Or at least maybe start a new thread with that info.
I really want to have a completely clean slate when I see them for myself in Davis!
That said, thanks for the details, solace! I'm more excited than ever!!! |

Okay, I'm back. I have nothing to add, everything Solace said is 100% authentic :)
Oh, but I did get to exchange a few words with Kim. And Frank was out front on the sidewalk talking on his cell phone while Kim was cranking out the opening of I Bleed.
I had to leave ... too many bad vibes from the Fine Line people. |

Hey if you guys want a disc live cd...we have an adopt a fan program where fans at the show will sell the cds to other fans at face value + postage. It is on the Minneapolis general chat threat.
OK ... i bet nothing is going on now but you have piqued my interest so I am going to check it out. At least I'll be able to walk off some of these Peeps I have been eating. I feel so stalker like...i would have had no prob. doing this as a teenager...i used to listen to concerts through a crack in this one nightclub's door...but I just feel i should be more grown up now... ok that feeling's subsided some what. Am I shameless? |
