Hey Pixies fans: here comes your band.
The reunited Boston band will bring its Doolittle Tour to the Centennial Concert Hall on April 27, playing its entire 1989 album, Doolittle, in its entirety, along with a collection of B-sides associated with the release. Ticket information wasn’t immediately available, but according to the press release announcing the Canadian tour, a limited number of pre-sale tickets will be available Friday on the band’s website.
An opening act wasn’t named, but the concert will feature a screening of the 1929 surrealist film, Un Chien Andalou, by Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel that provided the inspiration for the song Debaser, the first track on Doolittle.
The Pixies last played the city in April 2004 when they initially reunited. The city was supposed to be their first reunion show, but turned out to be their second after a gig in Minneapolis.
The influential indie-rock quartet released five albums between 1987 and 1991 before an acrimonious split. Since reuniting they have recorded one new song, Bam Thwok, and released two DVD documentaries, a live acoustic DVD and a box set along with live recordings of many of their concerts.

Ticket prices haven’t been announced, but based on one Ticketmaster listing online, they could end up costing between $50 and $60 — assuming you get your hands on them before the scalpers.
