Hmm, if they tour with the Chili Peppers, I think the 9:30 club is out.

Well of course. The 9:30 club is not in Europe.

I would imagine they will do clubs as well as a big tour with them. It might not cover every single city, but I would bet that the demand is there. It's been 12 years since their last tour. But given how disastrous it was for them opening U2's Zoo TV tour, I would be stunned if they went ahead and opened for the Peppers.

Good point Rutherford…I guess ultimately it's up to the band. That's probably why they're considering a tour with the Chili Peppers.
So I thought I'd missed this whole thing…too young, born at the wrong time blah blah blah. And now I hear that the band which got me into fucking music in the first place is getting back together??!?! A gift, I tell you. Now if only someone would call up Kevin Shields…
it won't be as good.
frank black is fatter and older, and kim deal has that much more heroin in her system.

This is it folks - we have the Official Wordâ?¢ on the Pixies Reunion!
The group is indeed reforming, and they'll be doing a 'warm-up' tour beginning in April that will lead up to the much-anticipated Coachella festival.
I have a special message for you!
I don't care if it's not as good as back in the day…X were better this past time around than they were in the mid-80's, and Iggy is about 300 years old and still kicking ass. Here's to the Pixies, may they prove cynics wrong! ;-)
A PIXIES REUNION
So. Going. To. Be. There.
And I pray for 930 and not Patriot Center.

Yes, the Pixies at 9:30 would be amazing. Hell, give them 5 nights at $80 bucks a pop and id still go to all of them.
this will probably be the hottest tour of the year to get tickets too. 2 nights of air is big, but this is enourmous. *snoopy dance*
ticket prices are generally cheaper in europe than in the us. when i was in italy, it seemed to be about 20% less(and taking in for currency exchange rates) than in the us and when my sister lived in england, my $40 tickets in boston were always more.
however, now with the euro as the currency, i'm not quite sure if ticket prices have risen.
bungle bud, barcelona, can either of you comment?

In '89,I got my two tickets and backstage passes from some girl with blue hair for free. The ticket price was like 8 pounds each (~$12 back then).
Are you telling me that Pixies tickets were more expensive on this side of the pond?
Sonic Youth in Rome in summer of 2002 was 20 Euro (then approx. 20 bucks). Didn't they charge $25 here?
I think the relevant comparison would be ticket prices in London vs. DC. Not that it really matters. People obviously are going to pay whatever, and this will be a financially successful venture for the Pixies.

Kim is the one with the intense b.o. problem.

There was the time I met Kim when she was coming out of Steve Albini's house (he was my neighbor in Chicago) and she told me she hadn't brushed her teeth in 3 days (TMI). Then she dropped the master tapes for the Amps' "Pacer" in the gutter. Kelly was there too, clearly going through some severe heroin withdrawl. She was rocking herself back and forth on the curb, looking very pale and sick. That Amps record was basically a Breeders record, without Josephine. Jim McPherson was there too. I was back in Chicago on my spring break, I got them to sign my Breeders and Pixies stuff which was cool.
