I know that dreams come true...

because the Pixies are getting back together.

In April, the legendary Pixies will reunite for the first time in over a decade. The notoriously quarrelsome quartet have buried the hatchet, clearing the way for all four original members to hop onstage together for a world tour, according to a spokesperson for the band.

If all goes as planned, the triumphant return of one of the most influential rock bands of the late ’80s might also be followed by a new studio album, the source said. The band has not yet gotten together to begin rehearsing for the tour, but, given their ugly breakup in 1993, the announcement is one of the most unlikely and anticipated reunions in the history of indie rock.

Best band ever. I couldn’t be more delighted.

And by a funny coincidence, I was playing ‘Gigantic’ when I read the post.

That is great news! I am very surprised given the nature of the breakup, and it seems the band members have really been moving in different directions. Black Francis’ (Frank Black and the Catholics) latest stuff has been anything but Pixie-like in style. Here’s hoping they don’t kill each other before they finish at the studio!
