Today I was surprised to see a Ticketbastard email in my inbox with The Pineapple Thief at the top of the listing. Granted, they're playing small venues but at least they're getting a good promotional push for this NA tour later in the year.
On the TB page it lists the Seattle show at the Neptune as "With Special Guests", but on the band's own website it says "With Gavin Harrison". I thought he was a permanent band member, or is Gavin putting on a clinic before the show or something?
I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.
US tour here. I went to a couple of the UK gigs and can highly recommend them. They really are good and put in a tremendous shift. And yes Gavin Harrison is on drums. A good deal of the European tour did sell out so, prog/not prog, Smashing Pumpkins/not Smashing Pumpkins, they are certainly being recogised in their own right.

I’ve got a ticket for the Charlotte show.
I always figured the “with Harrison” thing was a recognition of Harrison’s substantial contributions to the band. He is a co-writer on the last few albums, yet those albums are always simply credited to “The Pineapple Thief.” Maybe it’s promotional.
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
I caught them at the World Cafe Live in Philadelphia in 2022, and it was a fantastic show. I did the meet and great, which was cool. The band came out early in a cordoned off lobby area and played a number of studio excerpts from a laptop and then discussed each one. All four were chatty. Then they of course did photos and signed things with everyone.
Hoping they'll add a Phoenix date to this tour so I can catch them again.
Here's a pic from I took at the show in Philly - Gavin's hidden but I still like the energy in this one.
Wish they were coming a bit closer to me than Chicago (2.5 hour drive if the traffic is good). House Of Blues is a cool venue though.Originally Posted by XTC123
Got one of those for DC.

Sadly, other than the fact I know the US is a massive area and you guys do a lot of travelling to gigs, I know very little of its geography. Guess we are lucky in the UK
I basically live halfway between the cities of Chicago & Detroit. It is 2 to 2.5 hours to either city depending on what part of the city the gig is in if the traffic is good. Chicago traffic can sometimes be a nightmare. Going to Chicago there is also a time change as it is a different time zone from where I live, so if I drive home I lose an hour and don’t get home until 3 to 4AM. Spending the night in Chicago is also an option, but hotels are pretty expensive. All that being said, I do go to shows in the city on occasion, but it has to be someone I really want to see. I have not ruled this one out, so we’ll see.
The played in Ottawa last time but only Montreal and Toronto this time. I like to stay overnight in M AND T so this is a far stretch to a band I just saw a year ago.
What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it brings forth a sound (2112)
The band posted that a gig in Canada is now 90% full. So encouraging signs. Thanks America
