After announcing a European tour, wherein the majority of the setlist would consist of songs from Doolittle and its respective B-sides played in their entirety (TMT News), The Pixies left the New World waiting with baited breath. One local fan (me) was left wondering: “What about my neck of the woods??”
Then the second announcement came along. However, all we got was: “Hey Pixies fans! We’re gonna play in the U.S., at some point, at some places, but we can’t tell you anything more.” When I heard this, I squealed and clapped with delight. Then I told my girlfriend, who is easily the biggest Pixies fan that I make out with, and she preceded to squeal and beg me to buy tickets. The only problem was that I didn’t know where to buy tickets from.
Well, all of that has now changed because of this AMAZING third announcement. The Pixies have proclaimed to the world the locations AND dates for their U.S. Doolittle tour. I immediately texted my girlfriend, as mentioned above (I love you honey!), and she sent back the following message: “What?!? We HAVE to get tickets!!!!!!!!!!!! holy shit I’m about to shit my pants!!!!!!!!! Omg omg omg omg omg omghdsaqyudxjx0jk.”
My sentiments exactly.
