The Daily Swarm - Headlines (Free subscription) | 25/11/2009
The New York Times : Who are they now? What do they mean? What’s the intent? The Pixies are sounding good, but there’s not a lot of motion in their show — verbal, physical, emotional or otherwise. Kim Deal, the band’s bassist and singer, a warm and goofy presence in a pretty cold and motionless band, gave the only commentary between songs. It wasn’t more than a few practiced...

Pixies – Debaser (Live on Jimmy Fallon)

How come Frank Black looks like he’s 10 years younger than the rest of the Pixies? I guess it’s that whole not eating meat thing. Or maybe he’s one of those soul vampires, and he sucks the life out of tweens and old people. Either one is a tenable position.

Show Recap: Pixies [Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, 11/21/09]
Faronheit (Free subscription) | 24/11/2009
If you've never had the opportunity to see the legendary Pixies perform live, well then I kind of feel sorry for you. Granted, it hasn't been exactly easy to do so. After all, the band was broken up for 11 years before reuniting for a 2004-5 tour that took them all around the world and back again. You could very well have missed them then, and it was sort of a limited time thing. The future of the...

Pixies stomp again at the Aragon Ballroom (11/21)
Consequence of Sound (Free subscription) | 23/11/2009
The Pixies at the Aragon Ballroom in November. Ah, déjà vu. Seems like this happened five years ago (because it did, more or less). A set chock full of old jams, no new material in sight, smiling faces in the crowd and on the stage.There were still a few surprises (a giant video board, pre-show advertisements for USB wristbands at the merch booth), but this is the same Pixies from 2004....

By Jodi Root Five years ago, almost to the day, my life changed. The impossible became not only possible, but actual history and the Pixies reunited. They said it could never happen, but the moment I heard that Frank Black and Kim Deal let bygones be bygones and embarked on a reunion tour in 2004, you [...]

WEEKEND VIDEO / TONIGHT IN CHICAGO! "Gouge Away" Doolittle 1989 iTunes July 13, 1989: Being picked up by a major label apparently hasn't brought any peace to Pixies singer-songwriter Black Francis. The same nightmares that inhabited the band's two brilliant independent LPs, Come on Pilgrim and Surfer Rosa , are in evidence again on Doolittle . That's disturbing for Black Francis but great...
