Pitchfork: Pixies Confirm Euro-Tour, Breeders Ca$h In

Pixies Confirm Euro-Tour, Breeders Ca$h In
Tanya Donelly seriously regretting solo career. Again.

Dude. Have you heard? The Pixies are getting back together! What?! You say you already know that? That we run a Pixies headliner virtually every day now? That you just ooh'd and ahh'd over our story about Frank Black nearly buying a Snickers in a Circle K, but changing his mind at the last minute and leaving a line of disgruntled shoppers tapping their toes impatiently while he dug through the discount bin looking for a Mounds Bar instead, and are kind of nonplused to find yet another Pixies story today? That Pitchfork tends to develop unhealthy fixations that at least one rogue has described as the "Pixies Social Scene Syndrome?" Well, fie on you. We give the people what they want, and they want more Pixies. A million angry children refuse to be wrong.

According to pixiesmusic.com, the band everyone loves loving to love has added additional dates to the European tour on which we reported earlier this month. Not that they'll help you much, since tickets to these events seem to be selling out five minutes before they go on sale. I blame those filthy time-travelers. You can find a link to the previously reported dates at the foot of this story, and you can find the new ones (and confirmed/slightly altered versions of the old ones where applicable) right 'cheer:

05-26 Reykjavik, Iceland - Kaplakrika
06-17 Hultsfred, Sweden - Hultsfred Festival
06-19 Bologna, Italy - Heineken Jammin' Festival
06-20 Ljubljana, Slovenia - Krizanke Monastery
06-21 Athens, Greece - Rockwave
06-25 Scheessel, Germany - Hurricane Festival
06-26 Neuhausen, Germany - Southside Festival
06-29 Berlin, Germany - Wuhlheide
07-02 Roskilde, Denmark - Roskilde Festival
07-04 Werchter, Belgium - Werchter Festival
08-22 Chelmsford, England - V Festival
09-06 Seattle, Washington - Bumbershoot

Before those wretched few of you who spend your time scouring Pitchfork for errors start penning weirdly self-satisfied emails (since yeah, you must know a lot more about music and writing than we do if you caught that comma splice), let me go ahead and point out that we are quite aware Seattle, Washington is not a European domain. We thought you'd want to know about it anyway. Just be thankful we didn't parlay that Bumbershoot date into another headline.

For those of you who would like to see Pixies or something Pixies-related but did not buy your tickets five minutes before they went on sale and also lack time-travel capability, might we suggest rocking over to California... like, right now, and catching The Breeders at any of the following dates with Lucero. I'd like to suggest that the April Fool's Day show is actually a front, and that the lucky Breeders fans that show up will be BLOWN AWAY BY A MAGNIFICENT AND UTTERLY UNEXPECTED PIXIES PERFORMANCE! Please note that there is absolutely no basis for this wild speculation, save that I want to see if it will spread through the message boards like wildfire, propagated by those so eager to be the first to post the news on Iknowmoreaboutmusicthanyou.com, or wherever it is you people post these things, that they failed to make it to this mitigating sentence. Because those people deserve whatever they get. Remember: Only you can prevent Internet arson.

03-30 West Hollywood, CA - The Troubadour
03-31 Solana Beach, CA - Belly Up Tavern
04-01 Los Angeles, CA - Spaceland of Dreams
