Pixies Announce Doolittle European Tour: October 2009

UPCOMING SHOW
Can you believe that it's the twentieth anniversary of the release of The Pixie's album, Doolittle? You got it sweetheart--Here Comes Your Man and This Monkey's Gone to Heaven will be 21 next year. Holy crap. That's old enough to get into a bar.

Here's the real news, I was checking out a UK show email list, and found something thrilling. The Pixies are touring and are playing four shows at the Brixton Academy in London in October, a reprise of their 2004 gig there. At each show the Pixies will be playing all of the songs from Doolittle.

The Pixies announced their Doolittle European tour, which starts in London and ends in Paris, a few days ago in an interview with Scott Thrill of Wired:
“We wanted to do something special for Doolittle’s 20th anniversary,” Pixies singer/guitarist Black Francis explained in a press release, “and we thought his was a good opportunity to play all of the songs from that album, something we don’t normally do at a regular gig.”

Might be worth a trip to the City of Lights, non?
