The Pixies <3 Philly, rock Doolittle tour at the Tower

To paraphrase Gandhi/Ice T, don't hate the cash grabber, hate the cash grab. What's up with The Pixies crushin' on us? Frank, Kim and the rest of the gang chose our town (well, Upper Darby, but we can count the Tower as Philly, right?) to not only kick-off their second jaunt around the U.S., but also make it the only scheduled Northeast date of this leg (sure, they did Boston-NYC-D.C. last time but that was, like, a super long time ago). For this tour, The Pixies are playing their seminal album in its Doolittle entirety, along with the record's B-sides. They'll hit up the Tower Theater (69th & Ludlow streets) on September 7. With Pavement hitting the Mann Center a scant 10 days later, you can almost hear the sound of Gen X-ers creaming themselves. Aw, old people, you're adorable. h/t Pitchfork
