Tours: The Pixies (Canada)

The Pixies have announced that they will bring their critically-acclaimed “Doolittle Tour” to 13 Canadian cities this Spring.  The tour will kick off April 9 at the Metro Center in Halifax and work its way across to Western Canada, ending in Vancouver on May 3.   This will be the Pixies’ most extensive tour of the provinces, and will see the band visiting several Canadian cities for the very first time.  In addition, the tour will make stops at three U.S. cities.

On the “Doolittle” tour, the Pixies perform all of the songs from their 1989 classic, Doolittle and its related B-sides, “Weird at My School,” “Dancing the Manta Ray,” and “Bailey’s Walk” among them.  Doolittle, the band’s third album and the first to chart on Billboard’s album charts, includes classics such as “Debaser,” “Wave of Mutilation,” “Here Comes Your Man,” “Hey,” and “Gouge Away.”
