    Well, it seems that the Pixies, after this year, are going to stop touring while everyone in the band is doing their own things. Kim is working on the Breeders, Joey is scoring tv shows, Frank is being a dad, welcoming in his 2nd child and finishing a new album, and David is still going to do magic. I read something on billboard, that even Joey said that they have no plans to record an album. He said that it has to be organic for all of them to come together and do an album, but this time, no plans:( oh well. I am just grateful I saw them 3 times when they reunited. :D

    im really looking forward to the new frank black album. im glad the pixies arent recording an album though. it would just seem weird. part of me still wishes that they wouldnt have reunited for the tour either. though the show i saw was pretty rockin.

    The Pixies were great back in the 80's. In high school, my life revolved around the Pixies.

    a new pixies record would probably just suck in the long run. coming back for a tour was cool but no need for new material. i'd rather hear a new solo frank record or the new breeders album.

    Found this on billboard.com a few days ago. It would have been cool to have a new pixies album, but if it can't happen organically, then it would be wrong. But I'm glad that at least he tried and we got 2 new songs out of the Pixies. So GRATEFUL to have seen them live 3 times on their reunion tour:) NOW bring ON the Breeders and FB solo tour :D

    even without the album i dont think they are done touring. i think they saw how much money they can make off the pixies. but who knows it might be like the vu reunion tour.

    that is true my friend. I did read, I think it was NME or Uncut that FB said that the Pixies WILL still continue touring, but they won't record a new album. :D you see, EVERYONE is now happy! HELL, i'm content that they are STILL touring!! YEA!!! :cool:

    oh i found this on Paste magazine website:

    http://www.pastemagazine.com/action/article?article_id=3080

    I had NO idea they FINALLY played All Over the World :eek: that is my favorite freakin' song!! :eek:

    even more from frankblack.net

    "This is pretty much a reiteration of the previous news item, but now in Spanish and with a more media-friendly headline. Oh, and quite a bit more definite.

    Contrary to the consensus among music news sites, the Pixies will play around with some new songs. If they don't like it, they don't record. The notes fade like meteors in the atmosphere. If they do like it, well, expect a new Pixies album to make planetfall or at least a few fragments in the shape of new songs.

    In addition to the video we posted last week, there's a new press conference with Frank, Joey, and Dave in Spain at the Benicassim Festival that you'll want to check out here. Though not confirmed, these are probably not the songs written to sound like old Pixies songs that Black had called 'fakey', and so it's quite possible a new Pixies album will take them in an entirely new direction. Regardless, it is still the same four Pixies playing, and they will doubtless all lend their own style to the songs in addition to their experience since the band broke up."

    dont know if anyone still cares about the pixies but this is kinda old news that i havent seen here yet.

    "So, the Pixies haven't played in your neighbourhood in a while? Or you weren't able to see them play an acoustic show in Newport? Or maybe you just want to know more, more, more!

    Well, settle down. There are a bunch of DVDs flying at you very soon. And they are, in no particular order:

    Pixies - Club Date: Live at The Paradise in Boston. Thanks to dslator for the heads up, this is due to be released in the UK on Sept. 4.

    Pixies Acoustic: Live in Newport Due to be released Aug 22 (but you can preorder now), this is - so far as we know - the only 'unplugged' Pixies performance to date and thankfully they've captured it on DVD.


    loudQUIETloud: A Film About the Pixies - A documentary on the Pixies' reunion with lots of backstage access and, from what we've heard, pretty well done. Comes out Nov. 7 and, well, that seems far too far away. Again, you can preorder it in advance if you can't wait for it at your cool local record shop.

    So, three DVDs in the pipe for fall. And for completists out there, we should probably re-mention DVDs already available. There's The Pixies - Sell Out DVD, which follows them around their reunion in 2004 but is a compilation of songs from their tour rather than a documentary. There's the meaty Pixies DVD which has about 2.5 hours of Pixies-related goodness, focusing more on the old days and the band's history, combining live performances and documentary-style interviews with other artists like Radiohead, David Bowie, PJ Harvey, U2, etc. And finally, there's the Pixies Live at the Town and Country Club 1988 DVD which look a lot like the Pixies DVD to me, but hey, this is for the completists out there.

    So, lots of Pixies live stuff to enjoy even as FB is about to kick off his fall tour. Lots of live goodness all around.

    -Dean"

    I saw them on their first scheduled reunion show. Sloppiest concert ever, but still ranks amongst the top because it was the motherfucking Pixies. Frank Black could have farted into a microphone, and I would have been happy.

    I just got tickets to see him solo in November.
    Hello, I love you. Won't you tell me your name?

    Palace of the Brine into Letter to Memphis is one of my favourite transitions ever. A lot of Pixies fans like to ignore Trompe Le Monde, but I fucking love it.
