Pixies add third Dublin date

Having sold out their first two Irish dates in a matter of minutes, the rock legends have announced they will now play a third date at the Olympia.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 15 Jul 2009

The group bring their Doolittle anniversary tour to the Olympia on October 1 and 2, and will now also play on September 30.

Tickets go on sale at 9am tomorrow, Thursday 16, priced between €44.20 and €54.80.

With the first two shows reported to have sold out in under 2 minutes(!), you'd be advised to move fast!

I think Kings Of Leon must like the Pixies. With the headline act, rock couldn’t be any cooler, even with Kim Deal in your mum’s pink jumper and beige trousers. But for the newly-shorn KOL, the same nonchalance hasn’t worked out quite the way they planned

Hey, hey, it’s The Pixies. A little thicker around the waistline maybe, but otherwise perfectly preserved, beamed down as if from Planet 1988. And your reporter, like the other few thousand in the front pit, well, he’s having a moment. Their Phoenix Park performance reconfirms The Pixies as rock ’n’ roll’s great dimestore surrealists.

They've been called the last of the great punk rock bands, and although that's an accolade which smacks of revisionism, it does give some hint of The Pixies' colossal impact. In fact, you can still feel some of those aftershocks resonating through Nirvana, Bowie, JJ72, Fight Club and selected vodka ads.

And so the Pixies arrive at the 'difficult' fourth album stage. 'Difficult' because they haven't set so much as a little toe wrong to date, which naturally causes one to wonder just how much further they can travel in their pixilated state before tumbling head over arse?
