If you do not know who the Pixies are we cannot be friends. This band has influenced so many other bands, including Nirvana, Radiohead and the Dandy Warhols just to name a few. When I first heard them in early highschool they opened up a whole new world of music for me.
Hurry, look them up (see www.ilovepixies.com), listen to their albums (at very least hear Doolittle) and then we can talk again. Til you have done this, sorry no dice!
I love Pixies, aka Joey Santiago (guitar), Black Francis (lead vocals and guitar), Kim Deal (one of the coolest indie rock women ever to grace this planet) on bass ,and David Lovering on drums. They are heading to Melbourne this weekend to play 4 shows at Festival Hall (3 of the 4 are sold out, but you could still get a ticket to Tuesday night.)
They had an 11 year breakup that broke many hearts, but they have reformed and this is their second tour to Aus since reforming.
This tour is to celebrate 20 years since the release of Doolittle, an amazing album featuring two of my top 100 songs ever (this may seem like a big deal but it is not just any song that makes my top 100!) 'Hey' and 'Wave of Mutilation'.
'Hey' would definitely make the top 50!
So here they are, enjoy:
'Hey', live in London 1988. The footage is not amazingly clear but is not too bad, and at least you will hear this intense, fantastic song.
"Hey, Where have you been? If you go, I will surely die...."
'Wave of Mutilation', just put to shots of a beach... but again, don't worry about the clip. I just want you to hear this song and appreciate its greatness!
