Pixies add more dates to summer tour

Dates continue to surface for the Pixies ' summer tour, an outing that follows the group's successful 2004 reunion run.

The itinerary--which kicks off in late May and currently stretches into mid-June--now includes new stops in San Jose, CA; Indianapolis; Pittsburgh; Raleigh, NC; and Boston, as well as a second night in Los Angeles. Ticket on-sale dates have been set for most shows; details are shown below.

As previously reported, the group's summer plans also include a July 23 headlining performance at the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago.

More dates are expected.

Pixies' reunion launched last April, and the quartet remained on the road for eight months. The outing wrapped up with a sold-out, eight-night run in New York City, for which 24,000 tickets were sold, according to the band's publicist.

Last year's tour marked the first since 1992 by the original Pixies lineup: vocalist/guitarist Frank Black (a.k.a. Black Francis and Charles Thompson), guitarist Joey Santiago, bassist Kim Deal and drummer David Lovering.

In the midst of their 2004 roadwork, Pixies recorded "Bam Thwok," their first new song in 13 years. Deal wrote the track, which is on sale exclusively at the iTunes Music Store.

Pixies formed in Boston in 1986 and recorded five albums before splitting in 1992.
