The Pixies began a new chapter in their storied history Monday night when they opened their 2013 world tour at the El-Rey Theatre in Los Angeles. Playing the first official night with new band member Kim Shattuck on bass, the Pixies ripped through a 26 song set in 75 minutes. The crowd of predominantly 40 and 50-somethings, were chomping at the bit as the line to get in wrapped around the art deco building at least an hour before doors. Prior to opening act Meg Myers taking the stage, the venue was at capacity as everyone staked a claim to their spot.
The Pixies set included a nice mix of new music, classic set staples, and few surprises. The underrated 1991 LP Trompe Le Monde, placed five songs in the set that included The Jesus and Mary Chain cover “Head On” and the rare “Distance Equals Rate Times Time.” The classic indie rockers played two songs off the recently dropped EP-1, “Another Toe In The Ocean” and “What Goes Boom.”
Charles and company opened with a cover of The Fall’s “Big New Prinz” (watch below). From the get-go Ms. Shattuck had a bounce in her step and at times was a little chatterbox. However, at no time did she engage in dialogue with Charles, unlike old Kim’s routine. Many of the same classic Pixies tunes that at we have become accustomed to hearing at shows since they began touring again in 2004 made the setlist,, such as crowd pleasing sing-a-longs “Hey” and “Gouge Away.”
The band closed the set with “Planet Of Sound” and from that moment on… a delightful night out with the new-look Pixies took a bizarre turn for the worse. Frontman Frank Black waved to the crowd and gave a thank you gesture as the band left the stage. After a few minutes of nonstop cheering and yelling, all while we watched the equipment being put into place for the encore…..NOTHING. After about ten minutes the stage lights went on and David Bowie’s “Heroes” began to play as the crowd started the chant “One More Song, One More Song.” After about fifteen minutes it became apparent that they were done (for whatever reason), leaving the three song scheduled encore aborted. Unfortunately, cheers turned boos and smiles turned to confused looks.

Potty Mouth are an indie punk band that formed Northampton, Massachusetts in 2011. The all girl band consists of Abby Weems (vocals, guitar), Ally Einbender (bass), Phoebe Harris (guitar), and Victoria Mandanas (drums). The ladies took their name from an album by the seminal riot grrl group Bratmobile. Although they have association with riot grrrl bands from the feminist underground punk rock movement, they have denied their music has a political agenda.
Up until this point the band has released the EP Sun Damage in 2012, along with numerous singles throughout 2013. The bands debut full-length Hell Bent is expected in record stores on September 17. You can find the most recent single “Black and Studs” on the GoINDEEpMusic August Mix Tape.

In advance of their world tour that kicks off Monday in Los Angeles, the Pixies played a surprise warm-up show Friday night. The new-look Pixies announced the $10 show with an email sent out to fan club members at high Noon Friday. New bassist Kim Shattuck made her Pixies debut at The Echo in Los Angeles, where the band played an interesting 26 song set that consisted of brand new songs and Pixies classics. Three of the four new songs that were part of EP-1, released earlier in the week, were included in the set. Also included in the set were two unreleased songs titled “Blue Eyed Hexe” and “Greens and Blues” (check them out below). The band held true to their word that tunes that were not part of their “ten year reunion tour” would be part of the new-look Pixies 2013 world tour (view the setlist below to see it for yourself). I will be at the El-Rey tomorrow night for the official night 1 of the new-look Pixies world tour… I’ll keep you posted.
