Pixies Return To The Road For Summer Tour
Now that they're back, the Pixies just don't want it to end. A year after they reunited, the band has scheduled a string of summer tour dates that will have them visiting a number of festivals and playing two-a-day shows in several cities.
The original four members of the group -- singer/guitarist Frank Black, singer/bassist Kim Deal, guitarist Joey Santiago and drummer David Lovering -- will launch the three-week run on May 26 in Portland, Oregon. The tour is currently scheduled to wrap up June 14 in Wantagh, New York, according to a group spokesperson.
In addition to appearances at the Sasquatch Festival, Atlanta's Music Midtown Festival and the CMJ/Rock Hall Fest, the group will double up in a number of cities, playing an early and a late show.
Last year's shows -- the first since the group disbanded in 1992 -- were received with universal acclaim, and fans salivated at the iTunes release of the new song "Bam Thwok," but bandmembers have been elusive when asked if they intend to record a new album (see [article id="1491493"]"New Pixies LP Unlikely, But Another New Track's On The Way"[/article]).
Pixies 2005 tour dates, according to a spokesperson:
- 5/26 - Portland, OR @ Roseland Theater (6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.)
