I have to admit that I’ve never been into reunions at all. I think that they’re ridiculous attempts to regain long lost fame from over a decade prior. However, tonight, I’m breaking my steadfast rule against seeing reunited bands to see Pixies in Vancouver, BC.
I feel a little bit better about it being a small club (only 900 people) because it makes it seem like they aren’t totally whoring themselves out (yet), but they will be as soon as the late summer/fall come around and start playing the huge amphitheaters and festivals. Well I don’t know if they’re really whoring themselves out, but it is a rare thing to be able to see a band of such notoriety in a small club like this.
I’m not super excited/giddy/nervous about seeing one of the best bands in indie rock history like I would have been 6 years ago, but I’m definitely looking forward to it and not afraid to brag as this small tour mainly hit smaller cities and venues with many not able to get tickets. I’ll let you know how it goes, but I’m sure a good time will be had as this will be my first trip to Vancouver and Yaeka and I took the day off of work so we can have a full day up North together enjoying the sites.
I read a review in either Time or Newsweek that the show was really good. Lucky you.
