I think there's an extremely valid reason they aren't in.. Most people don't really know or care about them, and if they do, it's mostly due to Where is my Mind from Fight Club. They might have heard they were a core inspiration for Grunge, or bands like Radiohead and Weezer but most people never got into them.
I love Pixies, they are one of my favorite bands ever, but I honestly only listen to Doolittle and a few other tracks from their discography. For me, Doolittle is one of my favorite, if not the most favorite albums ever, but the others I could take or leave. I think they get there, but for now they're on a snub list with The Smiths, Smashing Pumpkins, Devo, Tool, Rage, Soundgarden, AIC, etc for the bands that raised the 90s kids.
In “Cleveland rocks!” news, Nine Inch Nails have scheduled a pair of concerts in The Forest City supported by alternative icons Pixies. The shows will take place September 21st and 23rd, and the band has specified that these are “the only NIN headline shows of 2021.”
The Nails haven’t been back to The Cleve since their 2020 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They’ll be a short drive away from the Hall at the Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica, and fans who make the trek might have more than just a museum display to look forward to. Almost immediately after bandmembers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross won this year’s Oscar for Best Original Score, Reznor said, “We are planning on working on Nine Inch Nails material as soon as, probably, tomorrow.” If they come up with anything they like between now and September, those Cleveland shows will be the first chance to hear it live.
Tickets go on sale next Friday, May 14th, at 10 am ET at the band’s website. Once they inevitably sell out, you can check for deals here.
Earlier this week, Nine Inch Nails shared the new song “ISN’T EVERYONE” with Health. As for Pixies, before these shows arrive you can catch them playing at Summerfest 2021.
NIN return to Cleveland for the first time since the band’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Visit the R+RHOF museum display & see the only NIN headline shows of 2021.
