Pixies Resurrection In Progress

Posted on February 3, 2004 at 4:31 pm | No Comments

Yes, the Pixies are playing in May at Coachella in Cali. This much we know. The real question remains: Is this a one-off reunion, or just the start of something bigger?

Well, the question has been answered. Can I get a “Hot damn!”? …

Pixies Confirm Comeback Tour

The Pixies have officially confirmed they are to reunite for a full tour this year.

Details are expected to be revealed later today with gigs at London’s Brixton Academy and major UK festivals, including Glastonbury, V and T in the Park, all strongly rumoured.

The indie legends, who split in 1993, had already been announced as one of the acts at this year’s Coachella festival in California.

A spokesman for the band has now revealed that more shows will be taking place and are due to be confirmed imminently.

more at Ananova.com and NME.com.

Until I’m watching ’em on stage, screaming along to “Tame”, I still can’t believe it’s really happening. Bring on the Boston homecoming.
