    And so you should! I saw them last year when they supported the RHCP and I think the performed much better than the Peppers. One of the best highlights of last summer, well them and Supergrass at Marley Park. Wonder what this summer's highlights will be? :D

    oh god yes!
    It will rock my little socks off!! I do like the sound of the support bands this time round, but ill just be saving myself for the main act.
    Last year was an amazing experience, I came out sunburt, dehydrated, exhausted and with no voice left but by god it was worth it! didnt even care bout the chillies after...
    Meantime im catching up on all my pixies records..(including my tribute to pixies cd - nada surf do a mean where is my mind)
    anyway. cant wait. YAY!

    Do the Pixies have a tune that starts off with a really funky bass line(not Gigantic), has a lady singing and then rocks out in the chorus? I always used to hear it in the Hub but never found out the name!!!!

    Best band in my humble humble opinion and thats really the only opinion that matters is the pixies.
    My favourite cover of the pixies is reel big fish's version of gigantic ..there's a song you can dance too

    I've got my half day booked from work. I can't wait. It should be seriously badass. Seeing them last summer was soooooo cool. I remember when they started into 'Bone Machine', I remember thinking that I hadn't planned on rocking out THAT hard! Soooo much fun! It was even worth having to go back into the centre of the pit (we had armbands) for the secong half of the Thrills.
    Weezer the next day as well. Shame about the new stuff.
