For a band that’s mostly been a nostalgia-circuit touring concern for the past decade, the Pixies have been in the news an awful lot lately. First, longtime bassist (and Breeders leader) Kim Deal left the band. Then, they came out with “Bagboy,” their first new song in nine years. And now they’ve got a bunch of new European tour dates (with more coming, around the world), as well as a new bassist. Oddly enough, this one is also a woman named Kim with a heavy ’90s alt-rock pedigree — and no, it’s not Kim Gordon. Kim Shattuck, former frontwoman of the great bubble-fuzz band the Muffs (pictured above), will be taking over. Check the European dates below.
