..so I went to the Pixies reunion-gig last night, at the Heineken Music Hallen, which comes pretty close to a stadium - a huge, ugly place with pretty awful acoustics. it wasn't sold out but there still were a HUGE amount of people there - also funny to see how varied the crowd is - which is to be expected with a band that started in the late eighties, ofcourse. I sat at the back, on the balcony, so the band looked about 8 cm high to me, but that didn't matter much because the sound was FUCKING EARBLEEDINGLY LOUD. this has truly been the LOUDEST concert I have ever been to. it was either Joey Santiago's screeching guitar solos or Frank Blacks screeching voice that made my brain fuckin bleed out of my ears.. they simply came on stage, started playing and didn't stop till about 75 minutes later. Kim Deal said 1 thing: "Thanks" and that was it. and when I say they started playing and didn't stop, I meant that literally. there was about 6 seconds at the utmost between each song. and now, for your utter navelgazing enjoyment, I shall present the songs that were played, although not in the right order, because I can't remember due to my brains getting sonically fried.. Caribou Isla De Encanta The Holiday Song Nimrod's Son album: "Surfer Rosa" Bone Machine Something Against You Broken Face Gigantic River Euphrates Where is My Mind Cactus Vamos Debaser Tame Wave Of Mutilation I Bleed Here Comes Your Man Dead Monkey Gone To Heaven Crackity Jones Number 13 Baby Hey Gouge Away Velouria Is She Weird U-Mass In Heaven (sung by Kim Deal..) they started with "gouge away" and ended in the encore with "gigantic". |

during "vamos" Santiago started doing his guitar-fuckery which he normally does during that song and used some kind of gapper-effect, which went on automatically. he then took off his guitar, with that effect still going, placed it in the guitarstand and just kind of watched it. then the drummer, Lovering, threw him one of his drumsticks, with which Santiago started to "play" the guitar, Lovering playing on with just one stick. after a while Santiago decided it had been enough and threw the stick back to Lovering, who caught it out of mid-air and immediately went on playing, the crowd at that point going ape-shit (again). another fine moment was during "river euphrates", when Black came to the line "one sip from that salty wine" which he suddenly SCREAMED at the top of his lungs - it fucking ripped my already dying ears to complete buggery AND scared the SHIT out of me. :) all in all it was a great concert! :D |

I saw pixies about three weeks ago. They were great! If you didn't read my report on it; it was the same typ of concert as the one you attended - with very short pauses between the tracks. One of my fav moments was when they played "Where is my mind". They're still great live. |

That sounds like it was awesome. And yes, I managed to scare princo away from the cake with a zombie mask and a scary noise! It's nice, but it does seem to be made out of wood (sorry). |

Some people say.........The Pixies are Ãmportant´because Kurt said they influenced them alot. Can you see that a bit? |

the pixies influenced a shitload of bands that came after them, not just Nirvana. I do think they are pretty influential, much like Slint were for that kind of post-rock thing. David Bowie (and quite a lot of other people) believes the Pixies to be the first that brought the soft verse/loud chorus-structure to popmusic. |

Yo, i love the pixies!!!! I saw them last night, but i had to pay £40 for the pleasure. It was at T in The Park (super gay festival up here in scotland for "trendies and neds". The day before they had Pink and the Darkness headlining!! bleurgh!!) The gig was almost ruined by a fat paramedic guy who kept standing in front of my girlfriend who is like 5ft or something. We almost had to leave our place at the front we waited ages on until i eventually told him to "fuck right off". However, once this was amended, they fuckin rocked. It was like on big amazing greatest hits set, with a whole bunch of amazing songs. And they were tight as fuck together, too. Franks got real plump too, i noticed. |
