Pixies

One of the greatest bands in the history of the galaxy is touring Australia next year to play one of the greatest albums ever recorded, hands down, in its entirety.

The Pixies will be playing their 1989 album Doolittle all the way through in one of those inspired classic album tours, like Sonic Youth’s Daydream Nation tour last year. The tour is scheduled for March.

For the uninitiated, the Pixies hail from Boston, Massachusetts and recorded two of the most influential records of the late 1980s - their debut Surfer Rosa and their master work Doolittle, the impossibly catchy first single from which, Here Comes Your Man, is embedded above for your listening pleasure.
