Got tickets for Pixies at Brixton Academy next year. Was much easier and cheaper than Oasis, for a much better band and a much better gig experience. The world makes no sense. I'm tempted to also buy tickets for the previous day and make a full London weekend of it. Would still be cheaper, including the hotel and four tickets, than one ticket for one person for Oasis. Can we easily get from Brixton back to Greenwich and stay there? Maybe on the bus? This could be the ultimate weekender.
Thirty-four years ago I completely failed to see Iron Maiden and Wolfsbane in Southampton. Iron Maiden are touring again next year, considering another Euro-trip with my friends for that too...
Think I only really wrote "Gouge Away" because I noticed I saw Gouge yesterday in 1996, also in Southampton.
I have seen Pixies at least on three occasions; Brixton Academy ('04), Brixton Academy ('04), + Brixton Academy (2025), though I still have some bragging tagging to do so this may go up.
