In what seems to be an endless supply of Pixies news… the band announced Monday morning their plans to tour North America in early 2014. The 33-date tour commences in Toronto on January 15 and concludes on March 1 in Austin (allegedly). Speculation has already started on why Southern California
dates were omitted from the tour schedule. Either the band wore out their welcome when they performed a string of four consecutive nights in Los Angeles last month, or, you guessed it… Indio, California the second and third weekend in April. Tickets for the 2014 dates (see below) go on sale to the general pubic this Friday October 11 at 10am local time, or use the code ANDRO to purchase tickets during the “fan-only” presale. As a special treat, support will be provided by FIDLAR, Cults, and Best Coast throughout the tour. One specific date that I took note of is February 24 in Phoenix, Arizona with Best Coast… just sayin’.
To celebrate the announcement of tour dates the band premiered a video for the song “Andro Queen.” The tune can be found on the recently released EP-1. The band’s plans moving forward are to release a series of EP’s digitally instead of releasing a proper album. The Pixies are currently on tour in Europe through November 25.
