How’s this for some epic news on a Monday morning? If you’re a child of the 90’s, you will remember the PIXIES and their epic singles ‘Gigantic’, ‘Where Is My Mind’, ‘Here Comes Your Man’ and ‘Monkey Gone to Heaven’ and today, the band announced that they will be visiting Mzansi in March 2016 where they will headline the inaugural “Rock on the Lawns” music festival on the Festival Lawns at Carnival City, Jo’burg and will play under the stars at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in Cape Town.
For Johannesburg fans, the “Rock on the Lawns” will see the international act perform alongside local talent such as Springbok Nude Girls, Prime Circle, aKing, Crash Car Burn, Shortstraw, The Sweet Resistance and The Robfather (DJ) while the group will be supported by the Springbok Nude Girls in their Cape Town show.
PIXIES have recently released their new album Head Carrier. The 12-track collection of the band’s unique aural mix of surrealism, psychedelia, dissonance and surf rock was produced by Tom Dalgety (Killing Joke, Royal Blood) and recorded at London’s Rak Studios from mid-February through to mid-March this year.
