Pixies

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.

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.

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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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

Best US band of all time, I say.

My personal fave.
