Pixies, Modest Mouse, and Cat Power concert review: still Gigantic

Modest Mouse went on around sunset, still packed a punch, opening their set with “Doin’ the Cockroach,” off 1997’s “The Lonesome, Crowded West.” It’s a little funny to try to argue that Modest Mouse “played the hits,” but they did notably lean into their back catalog, peppering their setlist with only two songs released in the last decade, despite having released two studio albums in that time.

An hour later, after having secured my indie-rock star-sighting of the evening , Pixies walked on to the strains of the Beatles’ oft-forgotten jokey B-Side “You Know My Name ,” and proceeded to wheel through a Best-Of set, featuring as many as nine songs from their landmark “Doolittle.” To my right, a man no younger than 60 in a golf polo bobs his head to “Planet of Sound,” to my left, two Hot Topic-style teens mosh among themselves to “Monkey Gone to Heaven.

If you’re still on the fence about buying tickets, consider this: they will play your favorite songs. It’s a legacy tour. And those work great when the legacy is as good as the ones these three bands have left in their wake.Want to check out the three-headed co-headliner extravaganza?Pixies and Modes Mouse with Cat Power tour dates
