After announcing last month plans to mark the 20th anniversary of their classic album "Doolittle" with a European tour, alt-rock icons the Pixies [ tickets ] have unveiled plans for a subsequent US run.

The just-announced US trek kicks off Nov. 4 in Los Angeles, and is scheduled to hit nine cities from coast to coast by month's end, including multi-night stands in Oakland, CA; Seattle; Chicago; and New York City. Tickets will hit the box office on various dates in August and September; details are included below.

During the upcoming tour, the Pixies--Black Francis, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago and David Lovering--will play 1989's "Doolittle" in its entirety, including all of the set's associated B-sides.

"We wanted to do something special for [the 20th anniversary of the release of 'Doolittle']," singer/guitarist Black Francis said in a press statement, "and we thought this was a good opportunity to play all of the songs from that album, something we don't normally do at a regular gig."

The group, which released its last studio album, "Trompe Le Monde," in 1991, is planning to release a comprehensive boxed set this fall to coincide with the "Doolittle" gigs. Titled "Minotaur," the collection will include all of the band's albums, including bonus tracks and new artwork. Extensive information about the set is available at the Pixies' MySpace page.

The Pixies formed in Boston in 1986 and released five studio albums before disbanding in 1992. In recent years, the alt-rockers have reunited on occasion for sporadic one-off performances. The group most recently performed at the June 12 Where the Action Is Festival in Stockholm, Sweden and the June 14 Isle of Wight Festival in the UK.
