"That Pixies reunion rumor is true; at least one date has been booked on the West Coast, and they're looking at coming here. Whether the band's vast influence over the likes of Nirvana will translate into ticket sales is anyone's guess."

Hmm, I check the Frank Black forum often for news and updates and even they don't know for certain. There hasn't been any official word yet, anyway, and Black himself claimed that what he was being sarcastic when talking about a Pixies reunion.

And a reunion as an opening act for Radiohead? They could do much better than that, in Europe especially.

This is just as bad as when Burma reunited and opened up for Wilco. >:

[Royal Tenenbaum]

Wilco rocks. >:


It is weird that the Pixies would open for Radiohead. It's kind of like if the Replacements reunited and opened for Coldplay. :(


ps. I do like Radiohead more than the Pixies though.

Although I do like Radiohead, you're an idiot for saying that.

[wreckreation]

how is he an idiot for saying that?
it's his opinion.
are you really gonna argue the "importance" of a band?
everyone likes radiohead. everyone likes the pixies. shut up looking for the music snob burn.

Agreed. Just that Burma should headline, and Wilco should open. Same with Radiohead and the Pixies.

It's not as strange as the Pixies opening for U2 in 1992.

Either way :)

[Krythor]

Except that they're more popular now than they were in 1992, and U2 were much bigger at the time.

Radiohead isn't having a concert.

[executioneer]

sez you >:

What the fuck are you talking about? Radiohead IS better than the Pixies. I'm sure I could find tons of people that agree with that statement. They are both great, but Radiohead has 3 albums that I love dearly and the Pixies have one.

[ProfessorCool]

I like them both, but I like every pixies album and all of radiohead's.

Yet, the pixies have the major edge with their cover of the Level One in the videogame NARC. :)

radiohead and the pixies are both going to be at coachella.
it's not like the pixies are going to be opening. radiohead will probably be headlining whichever night they play, but there will be lots of other bands.

[Krythor]

Bumping this since the reunion was recently confirmed.

How can the pixies be more popular now than in 1992 since they broke up? Nobody died in the band, right?

[Royal Tenenbaum]

No, but there cult has slowly grown.

[KevinTheOmnivore]

I think Fight Club might have had a bit to do with that, too.

[noob3]

pixies are better because they've worked with steve albini :)

[distance]

i have my tickets.
