Here comes your band. The Pixies are hitting the road again this fall, and they’re celebrating the 20th Anniversary of their landmark 1989 album Doolittle.
The Doolittle tour hits Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom on November 20 and 21. Tickets go on sale September 12 at ticketmaster.com.
UPDATE: Per WindyCityRock.net, The Pixies have added a third show on Thursday November 19 at the Aragon Ballroom to their already two-date Chicago stop. Tickets for the added date will go on sale October 24 at Ticketmaster.com. Additionally, WindyCityRock reports show opener information:
Bad Lieutenant, the new project from Bernard Sumner of New Order and Joy Division, will open the November 19 show. No Age will support on November 20 and Jay Reatard on November 21.
The set list will feature not only Doolittle tracks but all the album’s related B-sides.
I’m still amazed that the band have managed to work through the tension seen in their 2004 reunion tour documentary loudQUIETloud for yet another tour. But it’s The fucking Pixies, so who cares? Just give me my “Debaser.”

i’m still not sure how i feel about this. i can’t help but think it’s just a cash grab. the core members are still creating music and i think it’s weird that the thing they are most known for has become really just a nostalgia act. but if they put out half-assed new music it would feel like they were trying to justify touring (like the stones). it’s quite perplexing. this is a long time into the reunion with no new music to speak of.
See I don’t mind that it’s a cash grab. They’re musicians trying to make a living, and they made some amazing music. Let them play.
oh they definitely deserve it. i’m more surprised that they don’t want to put out new music. maybe they do. it’s just that there has been a new breeders and solo frank black since the reunited. these tours are great for fans but as musicians you’d think they’d be interested in creating something new
