“Where is Your Mind?” ABQ is Where!

One of the most influential bands of the 1990s, the Pixies have gathered a cult following since they unofficially retired in 1994. Although they reunited in 2004, the band known for its music’s appearance in “Fight Club” has still been flying under the radar for the past decade.

But the band is embarking on an ambitious revival tour, and like many of today’s biggest acts, they’re making a stop in Albuquerque along the way. On February 25, 2014, at the KivaAuditiorium, the Pixies will play their signature alternative rock that paved the way for Nirvana, Radiohead, and Pearl Jam.

The Pixies have announced a new 33-city North American tour, which includes a visit to Albuquerque. AMP, Heath Concerts & Joe Anderson Werks present The Pixies with Best Coast on Tuesday, February 25 at the Kiva Auditorium (Albuquerque Convention Center) at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $39, $46 and $58 (including all service charges). 

 The Pixies have been acclaimed as the most influential pioneering band of the late 80s alt/rock movement. Their five studio releases and initial six years together effectively blazed the path for groups like Nirvana, Radiohead and Pearl Jam to rise to superstardom. The Pixies disbanded in 1993 and launched their reunion tour in April 2004. Virtually every single date sold out within minutes and fans traveled hundreds of miles to attend a show.
