Let's face it...the chances of them doing any gigs at the 9:30 Club is becoming less and less likely, unless they do about 3 or 4 nights. I'm sure they'd play someplace bigger.

looks like they will place Smith Center or something.
 
  most likely. probably not the Patriot Center, though.  Isnt that place like 10,000?  I would think a 2000 or 3000 place is about right.

We might have to wait until next fall.

 4AD/Beggars Group has set a May 4 release date for the Pixies retrospective "Wave of Mutilation" and a self-titled DVD. As first reported here in December, the 23-track "Mutilation" is intended as a replacement for the 1997 best-of "Death to the Pixies," which is now out of print. The set will feature such favorites as "Here Comes Your Man," "Dig for Fire" and "Gigantic" alongside a remix of "Debaser." The DVD sports a host of music videos, a 1988 concert from London and the documentary "Gouge."
 
 The Pixies are gearing up for their first major tour since 1992, which will kick off April 14 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. According to a source, the group is still deciding its plans for after the close of a 20-plus date European run, which will end in mid-July. An extensive North American tour is taking shape for the fall.

Did anyone go to the Grand Duchy show? That was the day I worked from 7am Thursday to 2pm Friday, safe to say I missed it. Just bought a ticket to see Black Francis do a solo acoustic show in SF, very excited and curious to know if anyone caught the show he did on the Eastern shore.
