Pixies Concert Tickets

For decades Pixies tickets have been one of the hottest finds in rock and roll. The Pixies, one of the most influential alternative rock bands, have captivated audiences for decades with their unique blend of punk, surf rock, and psychedelia. Formed in 1986 in Boston, Massachusetts, the original lineup featured Black Francis (Charles Thompson) on vocals and rhythm guitar, Joey Santiago on lead guitar, Kim Deal on bass and backing vocals, and David Lovering on drums. The band's music, characterized by its "loud-quiet-loud" dynamics, paved the way for the grunge movement of the 1990s and influenced countless bands, including Nirvana, Radiohead, and Weezer.

The Pixies quickly gained a cult following with their debut album, Surfer Rosa (1988), which featured raw, abrasive sounds and surreal lyrics. The album included tracks like "Gigantic" and "Bone Machine," which showcased their innovative approach to songwriting. However, it was their second album, Doolittle (1989), that catapulted them to greater fame. Doolittle featured some of the band's most iconic songs, including "Debaser," "Here Comes Your Man," and "Monkey Gone to Heaven." The album was both a commercial and critical success, eventually going platinum in the U.S. and cementing the Pixies' place in rock history.

Other notable albums include Bossanova (1990) and Trompe le Monde (1991), both of which continued to explore the band's eclectic sound and lyrical themes. Bossanova featured tracks like "Velouria" and "Dig for Fire," while Trompe le Monde included songs like "Alec Eiffel" and "Planet of Sound."

Despite their success, tensions within the band led to their breakup in 1993. After a decade-long hiatus, the Pixies reunited in 2004 and began touring again, much to the delight of their loyal fan base. In 2013, Kim Deal left the band, and Paz Lenchantin eventually joined as the touring bassist in 2016, later becoming a full-time member.

The Pixies have received numerous accolades over the years, including a gold certification for Surfer Rosa and a platinum certification for Doolittle. Their influence on the alternative rock genre is undeniable, with many artists citing them as a major inspiration. Despite lineup changes and the passage of time, the Pixies continue to tour and release new music, proving their impact on the music world remains as strong as ever.
