Pixies in Minneapolis, June 20th

autumn said:Well, yeah, you definitely are.

In that case, you know exactly what you need to do...😉

Ugh, I am just so incredibly fed up with everything right now. It’s like nothing ever goes my way...😉 😁

Let me bring you guys back down to earth.
Honestly... there’s going to be a massive crowd of people who didn't bother listening when they were actually playing, and now they have zero clue. To them, they’re just Weezer. They aren't some band that hits like Dinosaur Jr.... 4,000 people?! ...Pixies are a club band for maybe 300 or 400 people. This is like Nirvana playing warehouses back in the day—I didn't care about being shoved around by hysterical MTV fans then either. Just gross. All these rip-off legends should probably just stay where they belong.

Honestly... there’s going to be a massive crowd of people who didn't bother listening when they were actually relevant and have no clue who they are. To them, they're just Weezer, not something like Dinosaur Jr... We're talking 4,000 people! The Pixies are a club band for 300 or 400 people. This is more like Nirvana playing the arenas; I personally couldn't care less about being shoved around by hysterical MTV fans. Ugh. Those cheap knock-off legends should probably just stay where they belong.

Look, shadowgardener12, when they played in New York City back in '89, I was only 12, and my mom wouldn't let me or my sister go to that show. They didn't tour around this part of the country much after that, and then they broke up. So, I am not passing up a second chance. It doesn't matter to me that I've been listening to the Pixies for over a decade, or that some people only discovered them after Fight Club, or that a bunch of random crowds will be swarming the concert. I want to see them live, even if it means being stuck in an arena full of annoying flies...

Cough, cough!
The rumors about the Pixies playing Križanko are completely unverified. I’ve been scouring the major American search engines and there isn't a single word about it anywhere. All I can find is some leftist rant on some obscure leftist forum. Honestly, I have no idea why USA Today would even report on this... besides, you can't trust a word they print anyway.😁 Here's a fresh example for you: "Rose's Name" dropping this Tuesday! Blah, blah, blah...

Maybe everyone needs to just slow down for a second. It’s not even the end of winter yet—we're still getting hit with snow out here—so what's the rush? Seriously, people, get a grip...😛

here something is written

Don't let them get to you, man!! 🙂
Honestly, you just have to go through life with a "yes" mentality...
(I can't for the life of me remember who actually said that, but someone did...) 🙂

I suppose I’ve never really been one to trust those folks from Minneapolis... 🙄
..... wasn't there some mention of the Pixies playing at the New York City open air festival? and well... I have even less faith in Americans...
anyway, I might be dampening the mood of this thread a little bit.... 😬

Oh, please! All you pessimists and killjoys can go ahead and start your own thread titled "No Pixies Allowed." This thread is strictly for Pixies fans.

Seriously, the concert scene in New York City is still such a total joke... just a complete disaster.😁
It honestly feels like everything is being rigged to screw over Americans in favor of people from Minneapolis for one reason or another—whether we're talking about big policy issues or just how these tours are booked.
Take Califone, for example; they decided to play Minneapolis instead. I might actually make the trip out there tonight, just to see what the hell is going on. 😉

Just look on the bright side—one less person in line for tickets. Who's next? 🙂

Way to go, Grandpa 👍 👍 👍 Looks like I’ll just have to wait until the fall when they’re pulling in a slightly bigger paycheck from the States. 😁

s.a.y said:Go get 'em....
I've got my graduation party on June 20th....

Are you kidding me right now!!!

I just realized this myself....
And I already saved up enough cash for the ticket...

You really didn't need to tell me that 😢 🙂 🙂 🙂 😢

Alright, I've got news 👋 tickets hit the stands on March 30th, and they should reach New York City around then too. The price looks pretty reasonable at about $60 👍
.
Anyway, since interest is massive, I’d suggest moving fast 😁 😁 😁

Got my knee and elbow pads ready to go. 😁

It’s honestly laughable... there will be a massive crowd of people who completely ignored them back in the day, people who don't have a clue what they actually represent. To them, it's just Weezer, not the raw energy of Dinosaur Jr. and similar legends. We are talking about 4,000 people! The Pixies are a club band meant for a room of maybe 300 or 400 people. This show is more like Nirvana playing in a warehouse; I personally couldn't care less about being shoved around by hysterical MTV fans. It's exhausting. Any mediocre rip-off legend should probably just stay in the past where they belong.

So, the implication is that anyone who didn't listen to the Pixies during their prime is just some shallow MTV consumer with zero musical depth? Well, I am terribly sorry that I was only three years old at the time.🙄
That is an incredibly narrow-minded way to view the world.

So, did the Pixies finally get confirmed for their Minneapolis show?

Put me on the list 👋 👋 :klap: 🙂

wuk said:Well, damn it all!!!

I guess I finally realized it too....
And I already saved up enough cash for the ticket...

So where are you guys for spring break? If the answer is Amsterdam, maybe there's a chance for...
The Pixies are playing a massive festival in a small town in Belgium called Lollapalooza on July 2nd. It's a tiny place, but every year it turns into total madness for three days at the end of June/beginning of July.
Usually, spring break trips last about a week (so you probably wouldn't even be around here anymore), and getting from Amsterdam to Lollapalooza isn't exactly easy or cheap—not to mention festival tickets aren't exactly a bargain either... but, hey, just thought I'd share the info...
By the way, if anyone happens to be in the area and decides to go, you can crash at our place—we live about 10 km from Lollapalooza.
Hmm... I doubt this actually helps anyone, but you never know...

And I think it’s pretty obvious from my signature whether or not I plan on giving everything I've got to end up playing a festival stage—or rather, just a patch of dirt. 😁 😎
