Pixies announce exclusive Sussex concert

Before beginning their European tour, Pixies will play a very special show at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea on Thursday 12th September, giving fans a first taste of their new album, ‘Beneath The Eyrie’ out the following day 13th September.

While Pixies have been acclaimed as the most influential, pioneering band of the late 80’s alt/rock movement, having blazed the trail for artists from Nirvana to Radiohead to Pearl Jam, today, a whole new generation of music fans are discovering their iconic “loudquietloud” signature sound.

Pixies’ shows are simultaneously electrifying and lo-fi with focus on the music and almost no between-song banter. The band will rehearse and be prepared to play some 90 songs from all points of its career as well as introducing songs from the new album. And, as there is no nightly setlist, the songs that are performed at every show are determined mere seconds in advance. From a live onstage mic that feeds only to the band members, sound engineer and lighting director, Black Francis calls out what the next song will be. Explained David Lovering on the nightly customisation of the sets, “The best is when you can sense what the next song should be based on the atmosphere in the room. That’s really, ultimately what we’re going for, to read the room and to be able to make the right choice.”
