Pixies Offer Support Services For David Bowie Tour
Thursday, 31 October 2013

Black Francis has offered the services of Pixies as a support act and backing band for David Bowie should he opt to hit the road again.
Pixies have recently been releasing brand new material, and are hot on the live circuit, having lined-up gigs in the UK, Europe and North America for the rest of 2013 into next year. David Bowie, however, hasn’t sat in the tour bus for quite some time, despite returning with a surprise new album in ‘The Next Day’.
A series of David Bowie gigs is something that fans have been extremely keen for, and one person who wants to see it happen as much as anyone else is Pixies frontman Black Francis. And he wouldn’t mind sharing the stage with him, either!
“We should do a tour with David Bowie. We can be his band. That'd be cool. We can be his backing band. We go out and do our set, he comes out to do his set with us and, you know. That'd be cool.”
We agreed that it would be rather cool, and it doesn’t seem like such a far-fetched idea given that the pair have worked together before. Would you like to see such a tour happening? Leave us a comment in the box underneath.
