PIXIES ANNOUNCE SUPPORT ACTS FOR SOLD-OUT LONDON SHOWS

Los Angeles, CA - September 17, 2009 -- The Pixies - Black Francis, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago and David Lovering - who will headline four sold-out shows at London's Brixton Academy on October 6, 7, 8, and 9, have announced the support acts for these shows.  The confirmed line up is as follows:

October 6 - The Big Pink

October 7 - Bombay Bicycle Club

October 8 - Art Brut

October 9 - Dinosaur Pile - Up

The Pixies' four London shows - as with all dates on the band's seven-city UK/European tour - are being played in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the release of their 1989 album Doolittle.  The band will perform all of the songs from Doolittle and its related B-sides.  Pixies' classics such as "Debaser," "Wave of Mutilation," "Here Comes Your Man," "Hey," and "Gouge Away" are all on Doolittle's track listing.

Ticket demand for the Doolittle Tour is even bigger than it was for the Pixies' 2004 reunion tour.  It took about an hour for London's twenty-thousand and Brussell's eight-thousand tickets to be grabbed up, while all 2600 tickets for the two-night stand in Dublin were gone in under two minutes, causing a third show - also sold out - to be added.  

Following the UK/European trek, the Pixies will bring the Doolittle Tour to the U.S. for nine-city, sold-out tour, which kicks off in Los Angeles on November 4.
