Pixies’ West Coast Excursion

So far, the band’s only shows of 2016 took place in Europe during July. The four-date California outing is scheduled during the last week of October. After that Pixies returns to Europe for a tour that includes gigs in Austria, Poland, Switzerland, Germany and the U.K.  

Black Francis & Co. will be showcasing tunes from their brand new album, Head Carrier.  

“The Pixies’ 2014 comeback, Indie Cindy, imagined what might’ve happened if the band hadn’t split up before Nineties alt-rock made its sound huge. The follow-up is looser and less burdened by the past,” Rolling Stone declares.

“Joey Santiago’s guitar is as melodic and muscular as ever, while Black Francis showcases his throaty assault on ‘Baal’s Back.’ New bassist Paz Lenchantin’s low-end thump owes plenty to Kim Deal, the co-founder she replaced, but her bright harmonies bring a fresh wrinkle, perking up the thrashy ‘Um Chagga Lagga’ and adding poignance to ‘All I Think About Now,’ an expression of gratitude to her beloved predecessor.”
