Recently re-united Boston, MA alternative/indie-rock icons The Pixies will perform at The Orpheum Theatre this Monday, November 14 as part of the band’s “Lost Cities” tour.
I’ve already done a feature on The Pixies for this week’s paper, but drummer David Lovering and lead guitarist Joey Santiago had much more to say during my interviews with them than I could fit in my story. Here are a few select outtakes:
On the band’s purportedly rocky personal relationships:
Lovering: Stuff has definitely been set aside. We’re older and wiser now, and want to be comfortable with each other on the road and will do whatever it takes to achieve that. We have much more communication than we used to. We’re actually the most boring band in the world now. There is no drama, nothing much ever happens.
Santiago: Sometimes it rears its ugly head, especially at the beginning of a tour. We’re mellowed out now, but every once in a while someone has a bad day or a bad week.
