Take That Portland!
The alternative-rock juggernaut the Pixies are taking to the air and hitting the road this fall as part of their Doolittle 20th anniversary tour. The Pixies, known to many as the band that popularized now mainstream stop-start/loud-soft dynamics and influenced cult-status bands like Nirvana and Weezer, will be crossing the Atlantic Ocean to perform in England, Belgium, France and Ireland, before returning to the United States to wrap-up their tour.
As far as the Pixies playing in Oregon, they’ll be making one stop in our state. Not in the major-market Portland like you may expect, but in lowly Eugene (This, of course, is likely because Black Francis resides in our fair town while not touring.) As reported on Pitchfork.com, the Pixies will make a stop in Eugene to play at the Hult Center for the Performing Arts on November 14th, before continuing East to Colorado. Who says all the good shows are in Portland? Take that PDX!
Tickets go on sale August 14th.
