    There's talk of them at EP on the EP forum, but I don't want to get me hopes up!

    Great stuff!
    But what the hell are the Pixies doing playing on such a crap line-up (Neil Young being the exception)

    Isle Of Wight is a big festival, the lineup will surely improve as time goes on. And how dare you imply that the Ting Tings are crap!

    Anyways, Pixies tour = w00t!! Hopefully will get to see them if I can convince someone to go with me.

    You do realise they have been reformed for a few years now and even have multiple live DVDs of said Reunion - Kim Deal included.

    I thought this was a zombie post when I opened it. They've been back for a while now.

    I love the Pixies, but I think they should knock it on the head at this stage - they're never going to record anything new, touring year after year with the same songs makes them nothing more than an ageing nostalgia act.

    i know they reformed a few years back, I saw them in lansdowne in 2005 but after that they just stopped anything and chances of new material or even reforming again was gone, i saw sometin about Kim Deal saying that she never wanted to do anything with the Pixies again, it was only a few months too:pac:

    The Pixies acoustic set live in Newport is excellent, saw it on Sky Arts recently, worth checking it out.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22 Cecilia Ann

    I'm sure they will release new material if they are touring. Frank Black is a writing machine!!!

    He's like Ryan Adams, just pumps out the songs, the hard part is sifting through the material for the gold x.gif


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,089 ✭✭✭jefreywithonef


    The gold is there often enough anyway. Hope they don't play ****** (although it would be pretty mindblowing to see both Pixies and Nick Cave in one festival).

    Can't wait- LEGENDS. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 54 ✭✭RAMAN


    I was complaining to a friend a few weeks oago that there were very little gigs on this year, that's what I get for opening my mouth. Wouldn't miss this for nothing or nobody!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 458 ✭✭bossa_nova

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,124 ✭✭✭missmatty


    Yeah it's on the ticketmaster news. Hope I get tickets. Saw them in Phoenix Park 2004 but was way too far away from the stage and most ppl didn't seem to know them. Olympia should be good.

    Seen The Pixies in the national stadium many years ago, they were brilliant. What a band live, especially in a small venue. Those shows in the olympia will be awesome....
