Nice! Thanks for posting; I'd seen some of the other covers they'd done in other cities but this was a nice touch.

... that said, it makes me think, what would be the most epic Frank Black/Pixies/Black Francis song for Arcade Fire to cover? I feel like it might be the early solo work, that was the most layered and dense. Hmmm...

OK, Arcade covers:

Pixies - Bird Dream of the Olympus Mon (runner up, Motorway to Roswell)
Frank Black - Places Named After Numbers
Black Francis - Jury's Out

That was a good performance, thanks for sharing pixie punk.

As for covers..

I'd say Planet of Sound or Motoray.
The Cult of Ray (song) or Pie in the Sky or the Adventure & the Resolution
Threshold Apprehesion

Though song to play. They did pretty good.

Wasn't sounding that good on the Pixies current tour... Synthesizer part is deeeeeeeply missed (sounded awesome on the "Hollywood Holidays" album with EDF on keyboards)

I didn't think it was bad at all. They played Prince's Controversy at the show I went back in March.
