PIXIES

Having already done a UK run of Come On Pilgrim… It’s Surfer Rosa shows where they play both albums in full (and more), Pixies are about to begin their NYC run on Sunday (11/18) at Brooklyn Steel. Tickets are still available. In 2019, they’ll tour with Weezer and Basement.

THE BLACK QUEEN / UNIFORM

The Dillinger Escape Plan are no more, but vocalist Greg Puciato is keeping busy with his dark electronic group The Black Queen, who also count Telefon Tel Aviv’s Joshua Eustis and DEP/NIN collaborator Steven Alexander as members. They announced a 2019 tour with Brooklyn noisecore crushers Uniform, which includes additional support from Kanga on the first leg and SRSQ on the second. The run with Kanga includes a Brooklyn show on March 8 at MHOW, and while Uniform actually aren’t currently billed on that show, they do play a collaborative show with The Body in Brooklyn on Saturday (11/17) at Market Hotel with Author & Punisher and Intensive Care opening (tickets). All Black Queen dates here. Watch the band’s new video:

All dates here. Their new album Years came out earlier this year.

Last year, Daniel himself performed too. Tickets go on sale Monday (11/19) at noon CST.

She’s also touring, including a two-night stand at NYC’s Rockwood Music Hall on Sunday (11/18) and Monday (11/19), followed by stops in Richmond, Charlottesville, Philly, and more in December. She then heads to the UK in April 2019. All dates here.
