In a surprise early-Thursday-morning move, Massachusetts legends the Pixies have announced that they’re going to play TT the Bear’s tonight, one last time, to say farewell to the legendary Cambridge club, which is closing its doors for good this July.
“T.T. the Bear’s is one of the clubs that broke us,” said Pixies’ Joey Santiago, according to a press release, “and we played there many, many times. And all the great bands that we saw there, we have a lot of wonderful memories of the place.”
You, too, can celebrate all your great memories of TT’s with Frank Black and co.–for the small price of $55 a pop. But wait! It gets even more *exclusive*— the only way to purchase these economy-price tickets is to head to the Orpheum today at 2PM, when they’ll be going onsale. No presale, no raffle, no Ticketmaster– just you and your lame excuse for running out of work to get downtown in time. There’s also a two-ticket limit per purchase, and both of those people need to be at the Orpheum, because TTs won’t let you in tonight without both a ticket and a wristband, with which you’ll be marked upon purchase.
To quote a famous Pixies song, “Let the Hunger Games begin!”
