We saw the Smashing Pumpkins at the peak of their powers, touring Mellon Collie: before Jonathan Melvoin died, before Chamberlin nearly died before it got too acrimonious between Wretzky/Iha/Corgan. They were AMAZINGLY GOOD.

Of course it turned to shit after that.

And yes I shall be attending the Pixies. I may even sing along to Waaaaaa aaaaaaa aaaaaaave of mutilation.*


*who am i kidding, I'll sing along to all.

I freakin LOVE the Pixies.

I just got told about this by my mate who's in a pixies tribute band here in Wellington and he's really excited about it. I plan to go to.

Ha! I saw them on the "Gish" tour...:bleh:

I missed the Pixies on the Doolittle tour, I think 'cos I couldn't afford that and the Wonderstuff gig the same week...I'm not sure that was the right decision with hindsight.

Even the sound quality on the CD is crap.

Agree with that. The Pixes have such a huge sound that the venue needs to be geared up for it.

Who cares though, I must get to that gig just because they are here..:niceone:

Mmmm.. I dunno.. at their height, before the reunion shit, the Stuffies were pretty good.

Eight-legged groove machine tour, yep they were pretty good...not as good as PWEI, but pretty good.

PWEI were better when they did Reformation a couple of years ago. I have the CD of that gig.. Unspoilt by progress. :)
