Pixies and Modest Mouse: Co-Headling Tour 2023

Posted by Logan Westom | Sep 11, 2023 | Concert Review | 0 |

Pixies & Modest Mouse w/ Cat Power Climate Pledge Arena, Seattle, WA 09.08.23

To see The Pixies and Modest Mouse live in the same night is to partake in an evening of indie rock lore. Climate Pledge Arena was packed to the gills to see these two everlasting, fabled bands, the audience’s age diversity serving as testament to the enduring legacy of both legendary groups.

Cat Power , herself an icon in rock pantheon, kicked off the evening with a beautiful, energetic set. Lit with magentas and blues, her mix of punk, folk, and blues set the table seamlessly for The Pixies to follow.

The Pixies kicked off the evening with a roar, launching into classics like “Monkey Gone to Heaven”, “Hey” and “Debaser.” From Black Francis’s distinctive howl, Joey Santiago’s ornate guitar riffs, Paz Lenchantin’s driving bass and harmonies, and David Lovering’s energetic drums, every part of the set was tight and intricate, an energetic live-wire. Concluding their set with the trio of “Death Horizon”, “Wave of Mutilation”, and the classic “Where Is My Mind?”, encouraged everyone in the seated sections to stand and those on the floor to dance with gusto.

By the time Modest Mouse took the stage, Isaac Brock and his bandmates were ready to blow the roof off the arena. Formed in Issaquah in the early 90s, performing in Seattle is a homecoming of epic proportions. They’re set that was both emotionally charged and musically intricate. “King Rat” and “Dashboard” had the crowd singing along at the top of their lungs, while deeper cuts like “Dramamine” and “Wooden Soldiers” showcased their artistic depth. Tying it all together with “”Float On” and “Cowboy Dan” provided he crowd with an emotional catharsis rare at contemporary rock shows.

What made this concert truly special was the synergy between all three acts. From Cat Powers’ folk punk, The Pixies’ raw, palpable energy, to Modest Mouse’s introspective and experimental approach, this was an evening to remember. It was a celebration of the past of indie rock made present, with the future shining bright. No doubt those in attendance left with their hearts full and their spirits lifted, grateful to have witnessed such an extraordinary evening of music.

About Pixies

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. 

About Modest Mouse

Having recently completed a sold out 25th anniversary tour for their breakthrough album, 1997's The Lonesome Crowded West and played a summer ’23 run with Pixies and Cat Power, Modest Mouse continues to prove themselves to be one of the most consistent live acts today. Modest Mouse released their highly anticipated new album, The Golden Casket, on June 25, 2021 via Epic Records. The Golden Casket heralds another new chapter in the GRAMMY® Award-nominated multi platinum band’s unpredictable evolution. Produced with Dave Sardy and Jacknife Lee in Los Angeles and in Modest Mouse’s studio in Portland, the album hovers in the liminal space between raw punk power and experimental studio science, frontman Isaac Brock explores themes ranging from the degradation of our psychic landscapes and invisible technology, to fatherhood. The twelve tracks behave like amorphous organisms, undergoing dramatic mutations and mood swings that speak to the chronic tug-of-war between hope and despair that plays out in Brock’s head. 

About Cat Power

With a catalogue of songwriting that’s unparalleled in the worlds of indie rock and American music at large—spanning several decades and ten studio albums—Marshall’s work as Cat Power has defied genre and convention, her legacy rippling through the work of a wide range of contemporary musical luminaries ranging from Lana Del Rey, Clairo, and Soccer Mommy to Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Angel Olsen. There’s a rawness and immediacy to Marshall’s music that has stood the test of time, with every new musical missive from her as essential as what’s come before it.

(((O))) Live: Pixies & Modest Mouse – Climate Pledge Arena, Seattle

Pixies at Climate Pledge Arena

Pixies brought their co-headlining tour with Modest Mouse to a nearly sold-out show at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington on September 8th. The crowd fought the horrific Friday rush hour traffic to make it for an early show, hoping the insanity of the streets and parking was worth it. After all, for many in attendance, the night offered a chance to cast off the weight of the contemporary world and revel in the sounds of the 90s and early 2000s, a time when life was perhaps less stressful, hectic, and alienating.

Cat Power set the tone for the evening with her seductive and beautiful vocals, exuding an almost comforting familiarity. Her performance quickly demonstrated her mastery of songwriting. A gentle and captivating stage presence shone through this night, helping the crowd decompress after navigating rush-hour traffic. Of particular note were the haunting renditions of ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’ and ‘New York, New York / Manhattan’, which elicited an enthusiastic response from the audience.

Pixies wasted no time giving the crowd what they wanted, launching into a double-shot from their classic Doolittle to start: ‘Gouge Away’ as the opener, followed by ‘Wave of Mutilation’. When the songs ended, everyone in the venue was excited. Even Black Francis couldn’t help but smile, as he noticed everyone singing along (including me in the photo pit, trying to take pictures while screaming the line, “You think I’m dead, but I sail away” ; see pic below). From there, the band proceeded to layer in a heavy dose of classic songs throughout the evening, such as ‘Monkey Gone to Heaven’, ‘Bone Machine’, ‘Cactus’, ‘Debaser’, and, of course, ‘Here Comes Your Man’, which had the crowd singing along in joyous unison. The band also performed selections from more recent releases, paying the most attention to 2022’s Doggerel .

Black Francis smiling

Their set ended with a pair of songs, the first of which was symbolic in many ways. On the penultimate song, the band returned to ‘Wave of Mutilation,’ this time performing the slower and more haunting ‘UK Surf’ version. As the crowd sang along, it was as if we all symbolically recognised the effect 40 years can have and, yet, not have. While most in the audience may have slowed down over this span, time taking its slow and inevitable toll, there may yet be an ageless spark that lies underneath all the wrinkles and aches—something that withstands degradation. The set ended with what may arguably be the best song in the band’s catalog, the one that has always personally hung in the back of this listener’s skull: ‘Where Is My Mind?’

Being hometown heroes (at least to some degree; they hail from nearby Issaquah, Washington), Modest Mouse closed out the evening, beginning with ‘Doin’ the Cockroach’ and creating a wonderful atmosphere with mesmerising stage lights. This was their first full tour since the death of drummer and founding member Jeremiah Green, who died of cancer less than a year ago. They leaned heavily on classics like ‘Fire it Up’, ‘Dramamine’, and ‘Float On’, focusing primarily on material released before 2004. Given that this is exactly what the crowd appeared to be looking for, most in attendance were highly enthusiastic. The set was marred by some technical difficulties towards the end, particularly noticeable by the abrupt end to the show after the band completed the song ‘Cowboy Dan’, leaving a number of the audience confused and a bit disappointed.

Walking back to the car, I kept thinking about how the evening was best captured by a line from Modest Mouse’s ‘Dashboard’, a song that searches for hope in a hopeless situation: “It could’ve been, should’ve been, worse than you would ever know” . This entire tour has, in many ways, been a celebration of a time gone by, one that was not as downright hostile and fractured as today’s. There are moments when such a celebration risks becoming myopic and uninspired. These two alternative icons of the 90s and early 2000s created some incredibly memorable music that sticks in the hearts of many of us, and while the evening’s sets may tend to be rooted in what seemed like a bygone era to some, that’s fine. It’s nice to relax occasionally and recall a period when things weren’t as insane and angry—when we were feeling things other than rage and hatred. It wasn’t a perfect night, but it was a damn good one!

Helping to establish the alt-rock sound of the late '80s and '90s, the Pixies have become an iconic act, influencing everyone from Nirvana, to Radiohead, to Weezer with their jagged-edged indie-rock.

Formed in Boston, US in 1986, the band was formed by Charles Thompson (vocals, guitar), later changing his name to Black Francis, alongside Joey Santiago (lead guitar), David Lovering (drums) and Kim Deal (bass). After playing at various local venues, the Pixies gained a support slot for Throwing Muses, which attracted the attention of producer Gary Smith. Offering to record the band, the result was an 18-song demo, "The Purple Tape," which impressed Ivo Watts of the UK label, 4AD, with Pixies soon joining their roster.

Their debut album, "Surfer Rosa," was released in 1988, featuring the engineering talents of Steve Albini, who had helped pioneer the abrasive sound which set the standard for alternative rock subsequently in his band, Big Black. The Pixies' debut found critical acclaim across the board, gaining significant airplay and soon resulting in a record deal with Elektra Records.

Retunring to the studio, this time with Gil Norton as producer, the band created what was to be their classic album. Released in 1989, Doolittle favored a cleaner, pop-tinged sound, finding several Top Ten hits in the process, particularly finding success in Britain. After extensive touring, the band decided to take a break in 1990, hoping to replenish the band's enthusiasm.

Following solo escapades by Black Francis, they returned to the studio in 1991 for their third release, "Bossanova," which garnered mixed reviews, favoring a surf rock sound. Nonetheless, the album faired well in the charts, prompting further successful tours and festival appearances. Returning to a loud rock sound as to their earlier efforts, their fourth record, "Trompe le Monde" again found praise, resulting in further international tours before another hiatus ensued.

Black Francis, just as he was about to release his solo debut, announced that the band had disbanded, prior to his band member's knowledge of this. The members of the Pixies continued with their various other projects to moderate success, whilst still being big names in the indie rock scene. Several re-issues and archival recordings were released during the late '90s and early '00s, continuing to maintain the band's reputation and popularity, despite the hiatus.

It was not until 2003 that hopes for a Pixies reunion surfaced, reuniting in a series of tours in the US in 2004. A live DVD soon followed to much anticipation, with the band continuing to tour intermittently throughout the rest of the decade. Yet in 2013, new music arrived, self-releasing "EP1" in July that year. Two further EPs were released, with these new recordings later compiled as the album, "Indie Cindy," in April 2014.

Live reviews

Wednesday 31st October, the Roundhouse, London, Pixies. So its thirty years since Come on Pilgrim and Surfer Rosa were released and its night two of a six night residency at the Roundhouse celebrating this anniversary. Obviously, there’s no Kim Deal but Paz Lenchantin is an able replacement and has been part of the band for the past four years.

It’s a reasonably mixed audience but oldies like me who saw Pixies first time around probably edge it. These type of shows where a band perform the whole of an album are both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand you are hearing a classic album (certainly in the case of Surfer Rosa) in its entirety evoking those memories of when it was first released and that point in your life but then you miss the spontaneity of the unknown setlist as you know exactly what song is coming up next. And that is very much the dilemma tonight.

The show starts about thirty minutes before the band arrive on stage with a film about the iconic images associated with both albums followed by an esoteric visual/audio experience utilising the bank of screens around the stage. It probably outstays its welcome by 15 minutes and the crowd are a little impatient by the time band eventually come on stage.

With no fanfare the band launch straight into ‘Caribou’ with the rest of the ‘Come on Pilgrim’ EP quickly following like a grunge juggernaut powering along the rock highway with no brakes, stops or pauses. There is no interaction with the crowd, no fuss, no filler and then it’s the main course of the evening for what was a highly influential album for me and music as a whole in the late eighties, ‘Surfer Rosa’. From the opening riff of ‘Bone Machine’ it’s a note for note, word for word run through of this classic album including the ad libs and chats on the record.

Its breath taking relentless stuff and whilst my memory doesn’t serve me well in terms of what the energy of the band was like thirty years ago they proved tonight they can still rock. Franks voice still has that unique range and the supporting cast provide the necessary licks and drive to transport us back to 1988. A quick break and then its back on stage for a five song encore which given what came before seemed superfluous. (I note on future nights they segmented the two albums with the encore tracks and so ended on the high of ‘Surfer Rosa’.

It would be ridiculous to have a highlight given the material but the obvious ‘hits’ of ‘Gigantic’ and ‘where is my mind’ were excellent along with both versions of ‘Vamos’.

So on the whole I think the evening worked, the oldies enjoyed it and the youngsters experiencing probably their first taste of this iconic band lapped it up too. So ‘Doolittle’ next year anyone?

Until the next time keep on grunge rockin y’all

Report as inappropriate

The technicians prepare the stage. The pedal set of Joey is really impressive, he needs himself a sheet of paper to remember all the set-ups.

The Pixies come on stage silently, without saying a word. From the first moment they give me the impression of being tired and without much energy to give to the audience.

Black Francis has grown in weight and wears a black dress.

Paz Lenchantin stands on the right side, she has a rose sticked to her bass and she is quite a humble figure. The same can be said of Joey Santiago, who is wearing a coppola cap and hardly interacts with the audience. Probably the most lively character on stage is David Lovering who does a great job in the rythmic part.

In the song Rock Music. It is almost impossible to hear Black Francis’ voice. Maybe there’s something wrong with the microphone and the sound levels. Maybe he just does not have any longer the voice for this type of song.

During this tour the band plays 11 of the songs from the new album Beneath the Eyrie, which are quite tame in my opinion.

Another choice I don’t understand is that they deliver most of their hits in the first part of their set, leading to a boring and empty second part.

They should have spread the hits more evenly throughout the set, to keep the audience awake.

All the classic are amazing and I can't resist from singing together with them.

Vamos is the longest song of the set and Joey finally pulls out some trick and plays a bit with the jack of his guitar waving it around and creating some noise.

At the end we are not even sure we will get an encore. Francis looks exhausted. The group plays a little scene on stage where Paz convinces the other to play one last song. Bone Machine.

Brilliant. I saw them last in 1989 and was so happy when my wife bought me a ticket to this gig for my 47th! The band played for around 2 hours and covered tunes from just about every album although i have to say i have barely listened to that orange one so wouldn't know if they played something from that mistake.

They transported me back to my youth for two hours even if as an auld cnut i just stood there either nodding my head back and forth or tapping my foot or, during more energetic moments, a combination of both. I really enjoying the performance far more than it showed, honest.

I was surprised to see so many what i thought were youngsters in the Tonhalle listening to a band who formed when many of them weren't even twinkles in the eyes of their hopeful padres, but their energy made up for my lack of. Thanks to them. I was even more surprised to see Mosh pit contributions by guys older than me. Respect. You energetic cnuts. Love it.

They played enough off the Surfa Rosa and Come on Pilgrim LPs that i went home a seriously happy man who hasn't stopped talking about and reliving the gig since.

So fucking good. I hope I'm alive when they play again here.

Pixies were a driving force in the alt-rock boom of the early 90's in America and their legacy and influence lives on in contemporary bands to this day. Their latest support act Royal Blood thank the band for the invite and explain that albums such as 'Surfer Rosa' had massive influence on their own sound.

From the grunge introduction of 'Bone Machine', the audience are ready to jump, cheer, sing and mosh with this iconic rock outfit and the band gives it everything on stage in return. A slick performance group, they blaze through a number of fan favourites before the audience even has chance to applaud in earth shaking volume. They thank their british audience profusely before beginning cult classic 'Monkey Gone to Heaven'.

They still inherit the qualities that makes so many young and emerging bands turn to Pixies during the beginnings of their careers. Despite having toured for close on 25 years, the stage show still has a very organic feel where the music is allowed to take centre stage without relying on visuals or pyrotechnics. The finale of 'Where Is My Mind?' remind the audience just how iconic Pixies really are.

Doors opened at 7:30 PM, around 8:30 PM the opening band, Public Access TV, started playing. It's an OK band.

Pixies started playing around 9:45PM. They started with "Where is my mind" and a couple more popular songs, then they went back to not so popular songs (not popular for no-fans) from the first albums, the mixed make-the-crowd-jump loud rock songs to some lets-take-a-break more melodic songs.

A weird thing I noticed was that Paz played two or three songs with his back to the public, at first I thought she was checking something with the sound but then realized she was playing like that on purpose. Nothing bad with, the music was still great.

They never stopped playing from start to finish, it was song after song, no talking to the public. The only interaction with the public was Joey doing a mini-solo on his guitar.

In general a very good concert, nothing like listen to them live.

The Pixies are just as relevant now as they were when they first started.

Black Francis is still the driving force of yesteryear and is supported by Joey Santiago (guitar), David Lovering (drums) and Paz Lenchantin (who replaced Kim Shattuck and in tun Kim Deal). While Black Francis is the focal point of any Pixies concert, the underpinning contributions of the other three are critical. This was always the case in the late 1990s and early 2000s when Black Francis was a solo artist.

Despite some good tunes he was never the same live without Joey and David to drive the sound. They are a powerful quartet with a tremendous back catalogue. The Pixies don't know how to deliver a bad concert. So go and see them and enjoy yourself.

A valuable lesson I learnt last night and that is never to look at a set list from a previous night's gig as you will most probably be disappointed.

Looking through the set list of the Pixies at Brixton on Monday night I was really excited for last night's performance, 32 massive songs played over 2 1/4 hours. Last night however couldn't have been more different with the only big tune the whole night being "Monkey Gone to Heaven".

Being a massive Pixies fan for some 30 years I have to say I was very disappointed indeed.

However, each song was played superbly and in quick fire mode with the only crowd interaction being when Black Francis apologised for messing up the same song twice, embarrassingly moving on to the next song

Charles "Black Francis" Thompson, David Lovering, Paz Lenchantin and Joey Santiago together all brought a great ear candy experience last night! From the moment I heard Thompson's warbling vocals filtering out the open front door as he sang the line "What's that floating in the water?" from 'Mr. Grieves' I knew the night was off to a great start! Together Thompson along with Lovering's backbeat, Lenchantin's furious bass work and call-and-answer style of vocal trade with Thompson, rounded off with Santiago's amazing guitar work, they tore through the perfect set list with many hits as well as rare gems mixed in!

Awful Awful

I have wanted to see Pixies since 1992ish but never had the chance until now. The Opening band Royal Blood was amazing for a 2 piece band! Pixies had some sound issues at first where we could not hear the vocals at all, about halfway through the set the sound improved & also started playing some of their older more recognizable songs. Once that happened the show went on amazingly. I am happy to have seen them. The venue (Shaw center, Edmonton, AB) was nice because you could stand or sit if you preferred.

About Pixies

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.

About Modest Mouse

Having recently completed a sold out 25th anniversary tour for their breakthrough album, 1997’s The Lonesome Crowded West and played a summer ’23 run with Pixies and Cat Power, Modest Mouse continues to prove themselves to be one of the most consistent live acts today. Modest Mouse released their highly anticipated new album, The Golden Casket, on June 25, 2021 via Epic Records. The Golden Casket heralds another new chapter in the GRAMMY® Award-nominated multi platinum band’s unpredictable evolution. Produced with Dave Sardy and Jacknife Lee in Los Angeles and in Modest Mouse’s studio in Portland, the album hovers in the liminal space between raw punk power and experimental studio science, frontman Isaac Brock explores themes ranging from the degradation of our psychic landscapes and invisible technology, to fatherhood. The twelve tracks behave like amorphous organisms, undergoing dramatic mutations and mood swings that speak to the chronic tug-of-war between hope and despair that plays out in Brock’s head.

About Cat Power

With a catalogue of songwriting that’s unparalleled in the worlds of indie rock and American music at large—spanning several decades and ten studio albums—Marshall’s work as Cat Power has defied genre and convention, her legacy rippling through the work of a wide range of contemporary musical luminaries ranging from Lana Del Rey, Clairo, and Soccer Mommy to Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Angel Olsen. There’s a rawness and immediacy to Marshall’s music that has stood the test of time, with every new musical missive from her as essential as what’s come before it.

Pixies Announce First Run of 2023 North American Tour Dates

Promoting their recent album Doggerel

Pixies  have announced the initial handful of dates for their upcoming 2023 North American headline tour.

Currently wrapping up their 2022 jaunt in New Zealand, the alt-rock stalwarts will hit the road starting on May 4th at the Fox Theatre in Oakland, California. They’ll primarily cover the southwest US throughout the month, making stops in cities such as Phoenix, Santa Fe, Denver, and two back-to-back nights in Las Vegas. They’ll wrap up the leg with a festival set at the Kilby Block Party in Salt Lake City.

Though the tour is in support of Pixies’ September album Doggerel ,  the band have a whole treasure trove of hits and deep cuts to add to their setlists — “setlists” being plural, because each night will see the band play a unique lineup of songs, deciding whatever “the next song” will be right before playing its first note.

Tickets for Pixies’ new tour dates go on sale this Friday, December 16th at 10:00 a.m. local time, and you can head over to Ticketmaster to grab yours. See their full list of upcoming shows below, with more to be announced soon.

Pixies look for revival in new songs, tour

As a young musician, Pixies frontman Charles Thompson was determined to make it past the velvet rope at the mythical club that is rock stardom.

Share story

“It inspired us even from the time before we were rock musicians,” said Thompson, who performs under the name Black Francis. “It’s how we became rock musicians … the idea of being in that club.”

But even for a band as influential and revered as the Pixies, maintaining club membership means staying relevant. And that can be a tricky thing.

How many continual tours of only old hits, after all, can a band embark on before it starts drifting too close to nostalgia act territory? At what point must a band fire up the songwriting engines again to reaffirm itself to new generations of music listeners?

In the case of the Pixies, who disbanded in 1993 and reunited in 2004, the last decade has been marked by what Thompson calls a “never-ending, it seemed, encore performance of our repertoire” with only one new song, “Bam Thwok”, released in 2004, to show for it.

“It was easy to be distracted from any other kind of ambitions like recording and writing new material because we were constantly touring or taking a break from touring,” Thompson said during a recent stop in New York.

That all changed in late June, when a video for a new song, “Bagboy,” showed up online unannounced. A few weeks later, the band again surprised fans with an online collection of four new songs released under the name “EP-1” along with a global tour announcement. The band added a 33-city, North American leg on Monday that’s scheduled to kick off in Toronto on January 15.

The band deliberately kept the whole affair low-key. The new songs didn’t leak online, there was no pre-release hype and no record label distribution. Pixies drummer David Lovering, who is also a magician, likens the excitement that resulted to his magic act.

“As a magician the best thing is the element of surprise,” Lovering said. “You want that wonderment … kind of like Christmas coming.”

The biggest surprise came two weeks before the release of “Bagboy,” when the band announced the departure of bass player Kim Deal, who’d been with the Boston quartet since its inception in 1986. Her breathy background vocals and endearing stage presence provided a foil to Thompson’s aggressive delivery.

Deal broke the news to Thompson and guitarist Joey Santiago midway through the recording sessions one late morning in a coffee shop.

“I believe Joey and I got up in the next moment and went immediately to a pub and kept drinking … to kind of soothe the shock that had occurred,” Thompson said.

The band was left with four weeks of booked studio time and a decision to make.

Following a period of mourning, they proceeded with production.

“That just gave us all the initiative and really the get-go to go for it,” Lovering said.

The new-look Pixies enlisted the help of Simon Archer to play bass on the unfinished tracks and then recruited Kim Shattuck of the Los Angeles band the Muffs to play bass on the current tour.

The new songs are immediately catchy, with more emphasis on traditional song structure and less of the quirky and frenetic nature of earlier songs. “Andro Queen” and “Another Toe” are more classic rock than punk, while “Indie Cindy” and “Bagboy” have more of the classic Pixies formula, with Thompson’s uncanny half-spoken sermons and odd time-signature changes.

Overall, the new material is absent the loud, quiet, loud dynamic – sparse and quiet verses juxtaposed against infectious, feedback-drenched choral eruptions – that came to define the Pixies sound. Thompson said he’s never understood why they get credited with pioneering the musical technique.

“I can only guess there wasn’t a lot of that going on at the time in other records that were being released,” he said. “And so ours stood out.”

Though the Pixies never caught the attention of the American mainstream, the band’s impact on popular music cannot be denied. A host of artists, from Radiohead to Weezer, David Bowie and U2 all cite the Pixies as an influence.

Kurt Cobain, arguably the band’s most famous champion, noted on numerous occasions how he used the Pixies’ musical stylings as a blueprint for Nirvana. Following the success of “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” the members of Nirvana recalled in various interviews how they considered shelving their biggest hit because they felt it came too close to sounding like a Pixies song.

What did the Pixies think?

“Yeah, they ripped us off,” Santiago joked.

What impact the new-look Pixies will have on a new generation of musicians will unfold as they continue to tour and release more songs, which they say are coming, on their own terms. For now, Thompson is keeping the band’s future plans close to the vest.

“If we tell everyone how we’re going to conquer the world,” he said, “someone else is going to steal our idea, and they’re going to conquer the world.”

Pixies team up with Modest Mouse, Cat Power for 3rd leg of North American tour

The Pixies ‘ upcoming North American tour continues to expand, with the announcement today of an additional 19 dates in August and September that will find the college-rock legends co-headlining with Modest Mouse and supported by Cat Power .

The indie triple bill takes flight Aug. 20 in Asbury Park, N.J., and plays larger venues — including amphitheaters and at least one arena — through a Sept. 16 date in San Diego. That leg of the tour features two shows in New York City and two just outside of Portland, Oregon — Modest Mouse’s home base.

Tickets for all of the third-leg shows go on sale 10 a.m. local time Friday, March 31 — though some presales begin tomorrow. Visit pixiesmusic.com for full details.

The Pixies’ 2023 tour opens May 4 with a first leg that finds the band supported by Slow Pulp (and, in Denver, Pond ). The second date, with openers Franz Ferdinand and Bully , begins June 8.

The band — original members Black Francis, Joey Santiago and David Lovering, plus bassist Paz Lenchantin — released the 12-song album Doggerel in September. The Tom Dalgety-produced record is the band’s eighth overall and fourth released since originally reuniting in 2004.

Pixies Return with a New AA-Side Single; North American Tour Continues Through June

They have just kicked off a North American tour with Modest Mouse and Cat Power, with a return to the UK in August for a run of already sold-out headline shows.

Pixies return with the release of their first new music for 2024 with a brand new AA-side single, “You’re So Impatient”/”Que Sera, Sera.”

The new AA-side finds Pixies creating a macabre and cinematic picture of American pop culture.  Furious punk ditty “You’re So Impatient” is an explosive two-minute, nine-second Zombie attack at the mall, before Pixies twist the classic 1950's standard “Que Sera, Sera” into a dark folk tale, told anew through the lens of a sci-fi monster epic – originally recorded as the soundtrack for the U.S. TV show “From.”  A limited edition 7-inch single including both tracks will be released on July 19.

Speaking about “You’re So Impatient,” vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Black Francis said, “’You’re So Impatient’ is a slightly comedic suburban culture moment:  there’s this guy, there’s this gal, there’s this tug-of-love dynamic going on.  But the backdrop is the mall.  And while the mall is crass, it’s also a very zombie, rock ‘n’ roll horror movie setting.”

Twenty-twenty-four is a momentous year for Pixies.  Thirty-five years since their groundbreaking, Platinum-certified album Doolittle catapulted the band into the UK Top Ten, was heralded as one of the top albums of the 1980s, and twenty years since the band’s celebrated reformation at Coachella, Pixies are deep into their second act.  Bigger than ever, playing to fans spanning multiple generations, and in the midst of a creative purple patch, with more new music soon to be announced.

Pixies’ new AA-side single arrives amidst a packed touring schedule set to take in circa seventy live shows across the world through 2024 – with even more dates to be announced for 2025.  They have just kicked off a North American tour with Modest Mouse and Cat Power, with a return to the UK in August for a run of already sold-out headline shows, as well as appearances at major festivals.

The shows will mark Pixies’ second visit to the UK this year following a sold-out run of gigs celebrating the Bossanova and Trompe Le Monde albums, which saw Pixies welcome new bassist Emma Richardson (Band of Skulls) to the line-up, the first British band member to join the alt-rock icons.  Looking ahead, Pixies will head to New Zealand and Australia in November for stadium gigs with Pearl Jam, closing what’s set to be a monumental year for one of the world’s most influential, revered and deeply anchored bands.

Vince Staples Plans ‘Black in America’ Tour

By Kory Grow

Now that his new album, Dark Times , is out and Netflix has renewed his TV series , Vince Staples can finally relax in the way Vince Staples relaxes best: by constantly working. This fall, after a European run, the rapper will tour North America, hitting festivals and mid-sized venues on a trek he’s dubbed the “Black in America Tour.”

The dates, which feature Baby Rose on some shows, kick off with a set at Austin City Limits Music Festival in October and run sporadically for about a month. He’ll close the festivities with a gig at L.A.’s Shrine Auditorium on Nov. 6. Ticketing details are on Staples’ website .

In a recent Rolling Stone interview , Staples said he was happy with the way people have embraced The Vince Staples Show , which puts a comedic spin on the rapper’s life. “I think I have a niche fan base,” he said. “I’ve never had an extreme level of success. So, I’m always open to people not liking something or it not [being digested] right. I was honestly surprised by the way that it was received.”
