About

Pixies have been acclaimed as the most influential, pioneering band of the late 80s alt/rock movement, having served as a major influence for artists like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, the Strokes, Weezer, and many more.  And today, a whole new generation of music fans has been discovering and embracing the band's "loudquietloud" signature sound.  Quirky, catchy melodies have always been Pixies' calling card; seven genre-defining studio albums, including the Gold-certified Surfer Rosa, and the iconic Platinum Doolittle, considered one of the all-time, quintessential alt/rock albums.  Sell-out crowds all over the globe, Pixies' live shows are unadulterated magic, simultaneously electrifying and lo-fi.  Seventy-five minutes of the band playing anything they want, in whatever order they want, the classics and the new gems.  And no two Pixies shows are ever the same.

After disbanding in 1993, Pixies launched their reunion tour in April 2004, playing to sell-out crowds across the globe for 15 years, a far longer period of time than they were a band originally.  But writing, recording, and releasing new music was something that the band had been wanting to do for a long time, so they secretly booked studio time in Wales for the fall of 2012.  Six days into the recording, founding bassist Kim Deal decided to leave the band; Black Francis, Joey Santiago and David Lovering made the decision to carry on, finishing and releasing the band's first studio album in more than two decades, 2014's Indie Cindy.

As a prolific international touring band, Francis, Santiago, Lovering began working with a number of touring bassists, including former A Perfect Circle bassist Paz Lenchantin. The band are renowned for their emphatic live performances - where they play all four corners of the globe - their live sets regularly rack up to 30+ songs played - made even more impressive by the fact that there are no pre-planned setlists or soundchecks before the band walk onto the stage to play.

Twenty-sixteen's Head Carrier followed and marked the beginning of the band's long-standing collaboration with British producer Tom Dalgety.  Twenty-eighteen's Beneath the Eyrie, the next full-length recording project with Dalgety, was recorded at Dreamland Studios near Woodstock, NY. The recording session was documented by the innovative "It's a Pixies Podcast," which captured a true un-edited record of the recording process. A deluxe edition followed, featuring unreleased demos from the Dreamland session.

Early 2022 saw the band and producer Dalgety settle into Guilford Studios in the woods of Vermont, armed with a true abundance of riches, more demos than were needed for the band's eighth album, Doggerel.  Pixies renewed musical fervor saw a stand-alone single, "Human Crime," leap from the shadows in March 2022, and the band then headed out on the road to play sold-out shows in North America, headline BBC Radio 6 Music Festival in Cardiff, and play Mexico City's Vive Latino festival to 70,000 people.  Pixies' first international tour since 2019 kicks off June 22 in Europe and will see the band performing in South America, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.

Doggerel (2022) is a mature yet visceral record of gruesome folk, ballroom pop and brutal rock haunted by the ghosts of affairs and indulgences, driven wild by cosmic forces and envisioning digital afterlives where no God has provided one.

Doggerel was toured worldwide to sell-out audiences across the entirety of 2022 and 2023 - with the very last show at Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles. Despite the band approaching their 38th year together, the crowds remain as diverse as ever - with new generations of fans emerging year-on-year who were not even born during Pixies 1.0. Pixies will return in 2024...

    Crowded and Horrible Sound

    by Do Not Go to Gallagher Square on 9/19/23Petco Park - San Diego

    Gallagher Square is not a suitable venue whatsoever. It was crowded beyond belief and the stage was not set up so the sound would carry. I was very excited to see both bands and I heard nothing.

    A bloody grand time

    by Jacoby on 9/19/23Oxbow RiverStage - Napa

    I love how small the venue was, made it more intimate and glad they had grass to sit on. The general area was great too! So glad to have finally checked off a bucket list.

    Great music, not so great venue

    by Pulleyman on 9/19/23Oxbow RiverStage - Napa

    First, parking was an additional charge that was not specified when I bought tickets; luckily we found street parking nearby. The entry to the venue is not apparent and a long walk around from the parking area. The venue has no slope apart from the initial concrete bowl VIP seating area so it was difficult to see the band and the stage. There is a road in the middle of the general admission lawn area. And there is a hard shut down at 10pm so the bands had to hustle through their sets. That said, both Modest Mouse and Pixies put on great shows, quickly going from one song to the next. Both played a mix of new songs and their classics. No time for banter for either band with the time constraint. Loved the music but not the venue.

    Don't bother with GA at this venue ...

    by Jeff W on 9/18/23Oxbow RiverStage - Napa

    The bands were good, the sound was good, but the venue was extremely disappointing. I'm used to GA meaning I give up my time and accept sore feet to be close to the band. Especially for 80+ bucks. At this venue, GA is waaaay back off the stage. Not my thing, won't be returning.

    Disappointing

    by Cassandra Houghton on 9/18/23Oxbow RiverStage - Napa

    Modest Mouse blew the Pixies out of the water! The female singer for the Pixies wasn't even mic'ed properly. Frank Black was Low energy Cat Power was amazing as well!

    Bad sound

    by Long time fan on 9/16/23UBC - Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre - Vancouver

    My opinion, not a very good venue for sound or the sound guys need to work on there craft. Modest Mouse was so high on the highs you could barley make out the words, and we moved spots for the Pixies to the very back and it was much better.

    Pixies were awesome!

    by Ien on 9/14/23Climate Pledge Arena - Seattle

    Pixies have a great show. Modest Mouse had a strange ending. Would have liked more. Opening band was skippable.

    Thank you for being the worlds greatest band.

    by Clem on 9/14/23Climate Pledge Arena - Seattle

    It was great because I was there and so were The Pixies and Modest Mouse together, makes so much sense.

    Pixies Ruled

    by Dan on 9/13/23Climate Pledge Arena - Seattle

    Pixies were great but Modest Mouse was disappointing, not sure if it was the band, sound technology, or what. Luckily I went in for Pixies but was disappointed with the rest of the artists.

    Fantastic show crappy concession

    by Dylan D on 9/12/23UBC - Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre - Vancouver

    I had a great experience show wise, the pixies and modest mouse played fantastic. However when we went to get food the nachos were stale and the poutine was a very small portion. They also said they only have Coke Zero when they actually did have normal coke but didn’t know, it was disappointing because I hate Coke Zero.

    Feels Like the First Time

    by Hailey on 9/12/23UBC - Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre - Vancouver

    Cat Power opened and was underwhelming to say the least. Modest Mouse put on a decent show with a good set list but at times it was so loud and poorly mixed you couldn’t even tell what song they were playing. It was disappointing but didn’t feel like the fault of the band. Pixies put on a great show as always - high energy even if the audience didn’t always get into it (c’mon Vancouver!) and you could actually hear every instrument unlike in the previous acts. Every member of the band is fun to watch - they look like they’re enjoying themselves on stage and they’re so skilled at their respective instruments. Special shoutout to Paz Lenchantin on bass and backing vocals - it’s not easy to follow Kim Deal but she does a damn good job and I just adore her voice

    This place has horrible acoustics.

    by dventura on 9/12/23UBC - Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre - Vancouver

    All bands were great, but I will never go back to this venue. The acoustic is just horrible. I feel sorry for the bands and the public.

    Terrible sound

    by Captain Morgos on 9/12/23UBC - Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre - Vancouver

    The sound was terrible. Worst I’ve ever witnessed. We walked out early. It was my first time in the venue so I can’t say if I am to blame the acoustics or the sound techs (or both). Either way, I am not setting foot in that arena ever again.
