Pixies

[grandadcollective]

In what can be described only as the best news of the year so far, the Pixies have announced plans to tour in 2009. The first announced date is for June 14th at the Isle of Wight Festival in what is being advertisedas their only UK festival date this year.

And let's not forget that they have NY as a UK festival exclusive!

I paniced in 2004 when the chilis appeared in NME appearing at the Parc du Princ in paris and booked a package for 4 of us. i thought i would not get time off work for their dates i uk so basically talked everyone into coming to paris to see them. Little did i know that they would play Cardiff, my home town, the following week (which thanjk lucifer we all got tickets for) anyway, the pixies supported the chilis on this tour and were out of this world. kim deal rocked and black francis did his thing accompanied by the drummer throwing a drumstick at the bass and then him playing his chords with above device, never ever seen anything like it before!!!!!!!!!

Well, seeing as they are doing IOW on Sunday on Youngs under card, what about friday otherstage headline slot? You Know, just for a great big, massive clash fest of a friday night and a band that should appeal to a large cross section.

Would absolutely make my year.......they are so good. I too saw them with the chillis and so far have seen them 4 times after thinking i would never ever see htem.

They've never let me down live. Always a brilliant band but frankly I would say that they have absolutely no chance of playing.

Haven't IOW said that the their booking of the Pixies is a UK festival exclusive? I really hope they do play Glasto, but i can't see it.

[MartinGooding]

hope so but doubt it, would be amazing

Is it just me? Did I imagine posting more on this thread and having nice chats with folk? Or have they been removed?

[HorseboX]

No chance. Don't get your hopes up.

Actually yeah, Other Stage headliner would be brilliant!

Out of the "big six", they've done V, Reading and Leeds, TITP and will be doing IOW this year so that leaves them with Glasto and Download to tick off. Doubt they'll ever do Download (although never say never...) so they should come to Pilton and bust out a bit of Here Comes Your Man!
