LOS ANGELES, CA – Tuesday, March 28, 2023\u00a0\u2014 Today, indie rock kingpins Pixies and Modest Mouse announce they will be joining forces for the third and final leg of Pixies\u2019 2023 North American tour.\u00a0With Special Guest Cat Power, the third leg kicks off August 20 at the Stone Pony Summerstage, Asbury Park, NJ, wrapping up in California mid-September, with more shows to be announced soon.\u00a0\u00a0Tickets will be on sale this Friday, March 31 at 10AM (local) and can be purchased here:\u00a0https:\/\/bnds.us\/ziwfqx<\/a><\/p>\n

The third North American leg this year is also the final leg for Pixies\u2019 2022-2023 World Tour that launched in March 2022 and will finish in September 2023. The tour has seen the band play sold out shows across North America, the UK, Europe, South America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Pixies have just wrapped a month-long headline run across Europe and the UK.<\/p>\n

Pixies 2022-2023 World Tour is in support of the band\u2019s latest album\u00a0Doggerel\u00a0(BMG) about which the\u00a0NME\u00a0reported\u00a0\u201cis the most inventive since their reunion nearly two decades ago.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0American Songwriter\u2019s Alli Patton wrote,\u00a0“The Pixies\u2019 new album,\u00a0Doggerel\u00a0is ominous, haunting, and gruesome, heavy with treacherous sounds that indulge in an equal softness. The drums punch and the bass slinks along in a mucky mire of a beat, but those harsh sounds are met with a cosmic velvet, a cushy patchwork of breath and light. The album is Medieval in the Space Age. It\u2019s a somber march to the executioner\u2019s block and a celestial trek among the Pleiades. Doggerel\u2019s lyrics are whimsical but insightful in the Pixies\u2019 irreverent songwriting fashion. Charming and yet still sagely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pixies\u2019 concerts are well-known for being\u00a0\u201cone-of-a-kind,\u201d as the band has no pre-determined set lists, the\u00a0\u201cnext song\u201d is the one that\u00a0\u201cfeels right,” so you\u2019ll never see the same show twice.\u00a0And the song choices go deep, as the band – Black Francis\/guitar, vocals, Joey Santiago\/guitar, David Lovering\/drums, background vocals, and Paz Lenchantin\/bass, background vocals) come on to every stage prepared to play any of the 90-100 songs they’ve rehearsed.<\/p>\n
