“I’m a huge Pixies fan,” Weezer bassist Scott Shriner told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette earlier this month, “and I think we all agree they’re one of our biggest influences. It’s pretty massive for us. Me and (Weezer frontman) Rivers (Cuomo), before we met — I joined the band in 2001 — we were at all the same Pixies concerts together.”
Weezer and Pixies are touring together this summer, and performed at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, July 20, with Sleigh Belles opening.
Here are the setlists for Weezer and Pixies, according to setlist.fm. And below them is a photo gallery by Wes Orshoski, and some videos from the show.
