[gigs] The Pixies return to Adelaide

The Pixies are set to return to Adelaide next March for an (unofficial i.e. not one of the ones that Feel Presents say are on the way) Don’t Look Back show playing the album Doolittle. Other new highlights this week are the duo Lightning Bolt at Fowler’s in November, and also in November we get a visit from the Buzzcocks (whose original tour dates did not include Adelaide).

Here is Lightning Bolt in action in Paris recently

Don’t forget that this weekend there are some visitors from some Melbourne based Europeans. Friday is Zulya (originally from Russia):

and both Friday and Saturday are Kris Wanders (originally from the Netherlands):

(this is not the band he’ll be with this weekend – to see the rest of them see this earlier post. )

Finally it’s that time of year when the gig rumours are plentiful so I’ll pass on a couple which I’ve heard and which could well be a load of rubbish that someone made up – Pavement for Laneway, Blur for the BDO.
