About

Pixies have been acclaimed as the most influential, pioneering band of the late 80s alt/rock movement, having served as a major influence for artists like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, the Strokes, Weezer, and many more.  And today, a whole new generation of music fans has been discovering and embracing the band's "loudquietloud" signature sound.  Quirky, catchy melodies have always been Pixies' calling card; seven genre-defining studio albums, including the Gold-certified Surfer Rosa, and the iconic Platinum Doolittle, considered one of the all-time, quintessential alt/rock albums.  Sell-out crowds all over the globe, Pixies' live shows are unadulterated magic, simultaneously electrifying and lo-fi.  Seventy-five minutes of the band playing anything they want, in whatever order they want, the classics and the new gems.  And no two Pixies shows are ever the same.

After disbanding in 1993, Pixies launched their reunion tour in April 2004, playing to sell-out crowds across the globe for 15 years, a far longer period of time than they were a band originally.  But writing, recording, and releasing new music was something that the band had been wanting to do for a long time, so they secretly booked studio time in Wales for the fall of 2012.  Six days into the recording, founding bassist Kim Deal decided to leave the band; Black Francis, Joey Santiago and David Lovering made the decision to carry on, finishing and releasing the band's first studio album in more than two decades, 2014's Indie Cindy.

As a prolific international touring band, Francis, Santiago, Lovering began working with a number of touring bassists, including former A Perfect Circle bassist Paz Lenchantin. The band are renowned for their emphatic live performances - where they play all four corners of the globe - their live sets regularly rack up to 30+ songs played - made even more impressive by the fact that there are no pre-planned setlists or soundchecks before the band walk onto the stage to play.

Twenty-sixteen's Head Carrier followed and marked the beginning of the band's long-standing collaboration with British producer Tom Dalgety.  Twenty-eighteen's Beneath the Eyrie, the next full-length recording project with Dalgety, was recorded at Dreamland Studios near Woodstock, NY. The recording session was documented by the innovative "It's a Pixies Podcast," which captured a true un-edited record of the recording process. A deluxe edition followed, featuring unreleased demos from the Dreamland session.

Early 2022 saw the band and producer Dalgety settle into Guilford Studios in the woods of Vermont, armed with a true abundance of riches, more demos than were needed for the band's eighth album, Doggerel.  Pixies renewed musical fervor saw a stand-alone single, "Human Crime," leap from the shadows in March 2022, and the band then headed out on the road to play sold-out shows in North America, headline BBC Radio 6 Music Festival in Cardiff, and play Mexico City's Vive Latino festival to 70,000 people.  Pixies' first international tour since 2019 kicks off June 22 in Europe and will see the band performing in South America, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.

Doggerel (2022) is a mature yet visceral record of gruesome folk, ballroom pop and brutal rock haunted by the ghosts of affairs and indulgences, driven wild by cosmic forces and envisioning digital afterlives where no God has provided one.

Doggerel was toured worldwide to sell-out audiences across the entirety of 2022 and 2023 - with the very last show at Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles. Despite the band approaching their 38th year together, the crowds remain as diverse as ever - with new generations of fans emerging year-on-year who were not even born during Pixies 1.0. Pixies will return in 2024...

  • Pixies

    by Posie on 2025-07-13MTELUS - MontrealRating: 5 out of 5

    They blew it out of the water. What a band, what a show! Power and magic!

  • The Pixies - Timeless sound, Timely message

    by The LOS on 2025-07-13MTELUS - MontrealRating: 5 out of 5

    The thing with the Pixies is … They’re all over 60. Inspired and workmanlike, consummate pros onstage. Effortlessly cranking out raunchy riffs & banshee shrieks like angst-ridden teenagers Oh yeah, and they’re so freakin, quintessentially cool. Most impressively … If you listen close, real close, their music carries the DNA of varied musical genres. They routinely launch into a tune and then suddenly the pace quickens, the intensity ratchets up and it veers into punk. Sometimes they take it down a notch, et voila, it’s surfer rock (circa 1990) replete with pop melodies and crunchy riffs. Think Dick Dale meets Sublime. The band oft transitions to sweet chorus and moves into a softer groove. Power Pop anyone? Of course, the undeniable “piece de resistance” is delivered when the band delivers their genre defining “slow-fast-slow” tempo. I mean that’s Nirvana before Nirvana! It’s what we all came for. One can’t help feel the cultural gravitas of it all. To be honest, I was half expecting to hear “Rape Me”, “Serve the Servants” or God willing “Smells Like teen Spirit”. All the while, Mr. Black looks like a cross between Dana White and Uncle Fester. Kim Deal is ancient history. But alas, It don’t matter. Tonight, and until the Pixies chose to hop on a stage, this quartet is proof positive that Neil Young’s words were prophetic … “Rock & Roll can Never Die”. Thank god for that.

  • Loud, raw, timelessPixies still blow the roof off.

    by redeyebluefish on 2025-07-12MTELUS - MontrealRating: 5 out of 5

    If you had the chance to catch the July 9 show at MTELUS, you witnessed an alt‑rock masterclass dynamic ferocious, and timeless. If you didn’t, well, the next stops are already legendary (Ottawa Bluesfest, Brooklyn, Fenway…), but Montréal delivered something special all its own.

  • I am digging for Pixies

    by Peca iz Montreala on 2025-07-12MTELUS - MontrealRating: 5 out of 5

    This was my first Pixies concert and I was amazed. Show was intense and electrifying. I was listening them from the nineties and I thought that Doolittle was the best alternative rock album of all time. On June 8th in Montreal I learnt that Pixies are definitively one of the greatest live bands ever.

  • Good show, great sound,

    by Fabien Lamour on 2025-07-12MTELUS - MontrealRating: 4 out of 5

    Good show great sound The only thing that I don't like is the balcony is now considered as a VIP zone. To much people on the ground floor!

  • microphone

    by hum on 2025-07-11MTELUS - MontrealRating: 3 out of 5

    I dk if it's our location but the microphone sound was awful, could barely hear him/them sing. Maybe that was intentional....? I attended years ago, same band, same venue, same position, and we could hear the singing fine. This time it was all mooshed, in with the instruments, over powered by the instruments.

  • Frank Black my hero

  • Pixies Rule!

    by Grimjaws74 on 2025-06-30Orpheum Theatre - VancouverRating: 5 out of 5

    As a long-time fan and first-time seeing them live, the Pixies exceeded expectations! They brought incredible energy, and the band was so tight. The venue was also amazing.

  • Awesome!

    by Hammjam on 2025-06-30Orpheum Theatre - VancouverRating: 5 out of 5

    The Pixies were awesome! They still got it! The opening act was a bit monotonous, but knowing the Pixies were next made it bearable.

  • Fantastic
