Gig Spotlight: Pixies Doolittle Tour at Hammerstein Ballroom!
I’m lucky enough to be going to Pixies first of four NYC shows for the Doolittle Tour, which finally comes to town tonight! The tour is being pegged as a “cinematic extravaganza,” and just imagining myself at Hammerstein Ballroom tonight makes me squee! Tonight’s opening act is Black Gold, with Jay Reatard playing on the 24th and Rain Machine on the 25th.
I discovered Pixies as an angsty youngin thanks in part to the cult classics Pump up the Volume and David Fincher’s Fight Club starring badasses Ed Norton, Helena Bonham Carter and Brad Pitt. And here is that beautiful closing scene from the film (Thanks Finch!):
If you don’t already own the 20-year-old masterpiece Doolittle, make you add this staple to your collection. You can purchase the album digitally on iTunes but I highly recommend going with the vinyl. Can’t wait to share the experience with you on Tastes Like Caramel soon!
