Luckily, with the Pixies two-night stand at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, the tickets were well worth the reasonable price tag.

At this point, the most startling thing about the Pixies’ reunion isn’t so much that it happened. The iconic alternative band and its fans have now had seven years to come to grips with that much.

Reunited Pixies bring Doolittle tour to AshevillePlenty of indie bands from the ’80s produced great tunes, devoted fans and cool memories.
