Pixies playing in Christchurch in August!
Well this is probably only of interest to me [I can hear you all saying 'who?'
] but they are playing on the 3rd August, shame it's a Tuesday night but I'll be there
Just wondering if anyone else on here was planning on going.
Can't wait, it will be the first gig I've been to since I got here, I was spoilt living close to London
On second thoughts I really ought to grow up a little and act my age but life's too short
I'll maybe try and stay out of the mosh though...

Re: Pixies playing in Christchurch in August!
well, i'd probably have stumped up for the Akl-Chch flight…. BUT I'm not sure i'll run to Manc-Chch!!! 
have fun!!
last gig I went to was Tom Waits in Edinburgh the year before we came out here! far too long ago, but still feel all tingly thinking about it - absolutely ace!
saw the libtertines in carlisle before they got big (that's cos no-one that's big plays carlisle!!) good night too!

Re: Pixies playing in Christchurch in August!
Maybe see you there then
Oh why not? Live a little Stoof, we've got a spare bed you can doss down on!
They were excellent the last times I saw them. Got stuck in the mosh at one of the gigs and got kicked in the head by a stage diver, a 'where is my mind' moment indeed.
BEVS it's not all about you
