Pixies Tickets Pixies are an alternative rock music group. They formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1986 and disbanded in 1993, then reunited in 2004. The Pixies found only modest success in their home, the United States, but were significantly more successful in the United Kingdom and Europe. Their melodic music is distinctive, but draws upon elements of punk, with occasional touches of surf music and other genres. Our service, selection and competitive pricing are certain to impress you!

Black Francis a.k.a. Frank Black (vocals, guitar), Joey Santiago (lead guitar), Kim Deal (bass guitar, vocals) and David Lovering (drums) have been the group's continual members.

Francis was the Pixies' primary songwriter and singer; with a distinctly desperate, yowling delivery, he typically wrote cryptic songs about offbeat subjects, such as unidentified flying objects and surrealism. Violent Biblical imagery and references to mental instability, physical injury and incest also feature highly in much of his work. Deal contributed songs as well, and her often feathery voice acted as an oddly effective counterbalance to Francis.

Musically, it has been argued that the Pixies were ahead of their time. Right at the moment they were imploding, Nirvana was recording Nevermind, the album that would break alternative rock into the mainstream. There are substantial parallels between the two groups' sounds and Kurt Cobain was known to have been a fan - in fact, in a Rolling Stone interview he claimed "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was his failed attempt to write a Pixies song. This comment, allied with similar tributes by other alternative bands, generated a retrospective interest in the Pixies from the mainstream music-buying public.

In late 2005, the Pixies embarked on tour with Weezer across North America. They are currently planning to release a new album and have a number of concert dates scheduled.
