January 29, 2009, 08:28 PM love em, have seen em live and think Frank Black is a true hero :) also, who doesnt adore a female bass player like http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a118/ImInDaBand/51kimdeal.jpg Kim Deal :) Raised on prisoner's aid January 29, 2009, 08:44 PM Oh yes. A great great band I used to be a massive nirvana fan, thinking they were the be-all and end-all of grunge. Then I found the Pixies. Haven't touched a Nirvana album since. klivert70 January 29, 2009, 08:47 PM I love 'The Happening' especially the end refrain 'I was driving doing nothing on the shores of great salt lake, when they put it on the air I put it in the hammer lane.....' :guitar: Raised on prisoner's aid January 29, 2009, 08:52 PM I love 'The Happening' especially the end refrain 'I was driving doing nothing on the shores of great salt lake, when they put it on the air I put it in the hammer lane.....' :guitar: This is such a great song. That bit you've singled out: <3 klivert70 January 29, 2009, 08:55 PM This is such a great song. That bit you've singled out: <3 Tis very true!:cool: swansong January 29, 2009, 09:04 PM Ohhh yeahhhhh! Uncleskinny January 29, 2009, 09:23 PM Prepare to have your eardrums and retinas (retinae?) scarred for life, as we have... _tQL2vOhzf0 No - I'm being unfair. He does a surprisingly good job. Peter soundofthenorth January 29, 2009, 10:18 PM Fan here! love the band. one of the greatest gigs ive been to was the pixies at manchester 2005. shame they won't do another tour together...:( Mozzy1 January 29, 2009, 10:22 PM Seen them on one of their 4 sold-out shows at the Susquehanna (formerly Tweeter Center) in Camden, NJ a few years ago. It rocked. I love their realism in their style not only through themselves but, through their music. Velouria is my favorite track. I am a Ghost January 29, 2009, 11:05 PM Wonderful band. Frank Black/Black Francis solo stuff is great too. Raised on prisoner's aid January 29, 2009, 11:13 PM I really recommend watching loudQuietloud- a documentary about the pixies latest reforming. Man that band had issues! Wish I could have seen them live :( CharlieFairhead January 30, 2009, 12:00 AM 'Trompe le Monde' i really grew to love. Revol January 30, 2009, 11:58 AM First year they I went to Leeds festival they played. But I didn't go the day they were on. Doolittle - Second best album of 1989.:cool: theneverplayedsymphony January 30, 2009, 02:56 PM They are an easy band to love even if you just skim over them, but when you listen properly, they're easily obsessed over. Practising Troublemaker January 30, 2009, 02:59 PM I just listened to La La Love You and Gigantic on the way back up from Thorn Lane mate. Love PTxx. matto January 30, 2009, 03:06 PM 2nded on 'loudQUIETloud' -- great documentary. New Frank Black/Black Francis record is with his wife, Grand Duchy "Petits Fours". ch-ch-check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG18i35QCgg I am a Ghost January 30, 2009, 03:53 PM He has a prodigious workrate, he is also releasing a soundtrack to the classic German silent film "Der Golem". The Federales stopped him playing his "pre-core" outdoor gig here last year, the pricks. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fOalno8zH6c&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fOalno8zH6c&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> bored January 30, 2009, 04:26 PM I saw them when they toured for Trompe Le Monde. They played at a place called the Rocky Point Palladium in Warwick, Rhode Island. Now condo's are stood up there. I remember when going to concerts was dangerous. Lots of crowd surfing, boots in your face, mosh pits that required you were a cup to protect your beans and frank. Then I saw them a few years ago at the Tsongas Arena in Lowell, Mass and I was jammed against the barrier and there was no crowd surfing and it was tragically safe and controlled. Frank Black had this Takamine electric acoustic guitar and the pick guard was ripped off it leaving a hole the side of a tennis ball in the body of the guitar. I thought it was cool that he went out there with this half destroyed instrument. sdsuedehead January 30, 2009, 05:55 PM Doolittle is in my top 10 albums of all time! Voodoo Doll January 30, 2009, 06:18 PM Love 'em! Debaser rocks. Saw them at the Move festival Moz did and they were amazing. Frank Black and Placebo doing 'Where is my mind' is one of my favourite non-Moz concert moments - Aww little Brian looks made up. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=KZkLG-jmxCI How do you make the vid show in the post :confused: Raised on prisoner's aid January 30, 2009, 06:36 PM Doolittle is in my top 10 albums of all time! This. oye terence January 30, 2009, 06:42 PM i have always felt Trompe le Monde was highly under rated. silentandgrey January 31, 2009, 07:46 AM Oh yes. A great great band I used to be a massive nirvana fan, thinking they were the be-all and end-all of grunge. Then I found the Pixies. Haven't touched a Nirvana album since. Same here, although I was just kind of a regular Nirvana fan. Once I heard The Pixies and The Replacements, I realized what a huge overrated ripoff Nirvana were. Crash into my arms January 31, 2009, 10:48 AM Love them! Saw them at a festival years ago and twice during the reunion tour. One of those times was at the Pinkpop festival in the Netherlands (where Moz played a couple of years ago as well), a festival which has a reputation for attracting a young audience, mostly people in their teens. When the Pixies came on, you could see a lot of these kids thinking 'Who the hell are they???' and a couple of hundred Pixies-fans, who bought a ticket specially for them, going completely mental. Suedebread February 1, 2009, 11:48 PM Surfer Rosa is the shiznik *EqualOpportunityHater* February 2, 2009, 12:00 AM ^^^ Yes it is.... Come On Pilgrim as well <3 :guitar: Uncleskinny February 2, 2009, 12:05 AM ^^^ Yes it is.... Come On Pilgrim as well <3 :guitar: Nimrod's Son FTW. Peter LegalTender February 2, 2009, 06:48 AM I started listening to them in September, but I didn't start really liking them until after X-Mas. I got all their albums in the order they were released. I thought Surfer Rosa was okay. I liked Doolittle better, but was frustrated because I wasn't in love with them and wanted to hear what everyone else did when they listened to them. Then I got Bossanova for Christmas, which I liked a lot from the first listen. Then I got Trompe Le Monde, which I love. I like their first two albums a lot more now (Doolittle more than Surfer Rosa). But it was really nice to like the last two right from the first listen. I still need to get Come On Pilgrim. konstantinl February 2, 2009, 10:19 AM Surfer Rosa is the best one. That screaming, those guitars! Like Pavement I guess, they softened off after that and weren't ever quite as good although they did release a lot of quality material. Frank Black's solo career has been pretty stellar also. Recently he's been putting out more 'Pixies' like material, check out 'SVN FNGRS' and especially 'Blue Finger' which is excellent. As for Kim Deal, she never looked better than when she appeared in the Sonic Youth video for 'Little Trouble Girl'. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2v47j_sonic-youth-little-trouble-girl_music 9 x Fined February 2, 2009, 01:19 PM [x] Best US band of all time, I say.
