Pixies add second and final Melbourne show
Celebrating the release last week of their brand new album Head Carrier, seminal rockers Pixies have added a second and final Melbourne show to their Australian east coast tour.
Returning to Melbourne for their first shows in six years, the band will play a second night at Melbourne’s Margaret Court Arena on Sunday 5th March.
One of the most influential and important bands over the last 30 years, Pixies headlined 2007’s inaugural Australian V Festival and in 2010 played an incredible 13 shows on their sold-out Doolittle tour across the country.
Touring the east coast in 2017 following the 30th September release of their latest album, Head Carrier, the tour sees vocalist/guitarist Black Francis, drummer David Lovering and guitarist Joey Santiago welcome bassist Paz Lenchatin to the Pixies’ permanent line-up.
Lenchantin has been the band’s touring bassist since January 2014 and played an integral part in the recording of Head Carrier. Her cool and dreamy soprano can be heard singing lead on the track All I Think About Now.
“Paz is a joy to be around,” said Lovering. “She’s very funny and we’re having more fun than we’ve ever had as a band, we all have a blast together, on and off stage.”
