Pixies - Nov 18th, Olympia Theatre

Evil Sausage

Seems to be part of a new European tour to support their new single.

Considering they toured the Doolittle 20th Anniversary shows for 3 years, we'll probably get to see them here again soon after.

In saying that, I do like Bagboy, its a grower

Was very confused when I heard about this. No Kim = No Pixies surely Any word of a replacement?

Wow, unusual for gig to be announced when tickets go on sale straight away. Completely missed the first night

EyesClosed

Anybody know when the second night is on sale, no times on ticketmaster

Tickets for 19th are on sale now.

I managed to get tickets for the 2nd night just now. What a feckin nice surprise for a Monday afternoon!

I have seen them a few times since the early 90s, the last time was when they supported the RHCP in the Phoenix park.
Seeing them again in a small venue like the Olympia is going to be great, cant wait already!

Standing tickets are sold out for the 2nd night but I did manage to get one for the circle. Should be good even though it's a shame that Kim won't be there.

The Phantom Jipper

That one really came out of the blue (or maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention). Hopefully they'll do a third date for us poor sods who missed out.

Plans for the tour taken from their website:

For this tour, which will feature a brand new stage set and production, the Pixies - Black Francis - guitar/vocals, Joey Santiago - guitars/backing vocals, and David Lovering - drums/backing vocals - will be joined by bassist Kim Shattuck. Shattuck played bass for the all-girl L.A. garage rock band The Pandoras, and then was the guitarist for the pop punk band The Muffs. The four have been holed up in an L.A. rehearsal space getting ready to offer the most wide-ranging concert set-lists of Pixies music in the band's career.

"Along with everyone's favorites, we'll be playing songs that we haven't played in ages or never played live before," said Black Francis. "Songs like 'Brick is Red,' 'Havalina,' 'Tony's Theme.' and 'Sad Punk.' We've probably rehearsed some 80 songs, so we'll be able to change up the set at the last minute if we feel like it. We're all really looking forward to this tour."

I'm going to they might be giants gig in the sane night. Might pop long afterwards, is there a bar in The Olympia that you can get into if not going to the gig withany chance of even remotely hearing them from there? (I presume not...)

You can't get into the Olympia bar without a ticket. Best bet would be to go down the alley beside Brogans where the entrance to the circle and upper circle is but I doubt it'll be very listenable.

Managed to get tickets to the Tuesday night,anyone recommend a decent late bar to go to after the gig?

For Olympia gigs they're usually updated here a bit closer to the gig
