The recently reunited alt/rockers Pixies are apparently having so much fun that they’ve added a fourth leg to a world tour. The new dates include an autumn stop in Rochester, according to Billboard.
The Pixies are scheduled to play a 7 p.m. show Nov. 2 at the Main Street Armory, 900 East Main St. Tickets, which cost $42.50 to $50, are available online at www.ticketfly.com, and from Aaron’s Alley, 662 Monroe Ave., (585) 244-5044; and The House of Guitars, 645 Titus Ave., (585) 544-3500.
For the upcoming tour leg, the band – Black Francis, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago and David Lovering – is hitting 19 secondary U.S. markets, beginning with Montclair, N.J., on Oct. 27.
The tour continues a now 2-year-old celebration of the band’s 20th anniversary celebration of the 1989 album “Doolittle.” “Two years and counting in this celebration of Doolittle’s 20th anniversary,” Lovering, the drummer, said in a news release. “But people keep asking us to bring ‘Doolittle’ to their city, and we’re really happy to do it.”
On the tour, the band is performing all of the songs from the 1989 “Doolittle” album and its related B-sides. “Weird at My School,” “Dancing the Manta Ray,” and “Bailey’s Walk” among them. “Doolittle“ was the band’s third album and the first to chart on Billboard’s album charts, and includes classics such as “Debaser,” “Wave of Mutilation,” “Here Comes Your Man,” “Hey,” and “Gouge Away.”
“The thing about ‘Doolittle,’” said Santiago, the band’s guitarist, “is that it’s still as fresh today as it was when we recorded it. I loved it then and I love it now.”
