The f*cking Pixies are coming to Tampa! For over three decades the Boston born band has influenced, music, film, & art indelibly.
If there’s anything I could say to any audience that hasn’t seen the Pixies, I could say that we’re not an anti-social band. We are just delivering what we do best, which is the music.”
-David Lovering, Dummer
Everyone I meet seems to have a particular memory attached to a Pixies song. A certain lyric, which transports them to a different time in their life where a former skin was shed.
“Hey!
Been trying to meet you
Mmm…
Hey!
Must be a devil between us
Or whores in my head
Whores at the door
Whore in my bed
But hey!
Where
Have you
Been?
If you go, I will surely die.”
After a hiatus, successful comeback, and Kim Deal leaving the original lineup, we were due for some good news.
What had happened, of course we got back together in 2004, which I couldn’t believe that, and we toured from 2004 to 2011. Seven years went by and after the seven-year mark, in 2011, we all realized, “Wait a minute. Hold on.” We’d been touring with our old music longer than we were initially a band back in the late ’80s and early ’90s. That was freaky to us…..There was nothing scary because we had already gotten through the scary part, so Head Carrier was a breeze and it was a lot easier to write than Indie Cindy. Much easier all the way around, especially since we had seven weeks of pre-production on it. It was like having a luxury to actually know these songs and learn them before going into the studio.”
– David Lovering, The Metro Times in October 2017
This tour they are paired with the ever nostalgic Weezer.
We’re all big Weezer fans, so we’re really looking forward to this summer. We have a lot of respect for Weezer, they’re not afraid to take risks with their music.”
– Black Francis from the Pixies
And … this cover of Toto’s “Africa” is everything.
Tampa is the first stop of the tour, so you know they’re going to be fresh and ready to go all night.
The Wombats will be joining the Pixies & Weezer all the way from Liverpool all Summer.
This is going to be a legendary evening with three bands who have shaped the several last years of music. Our friends at Live Nation FL are helping us send you to see this incredible night!
