this article talks about honeycomb among others things, but the thing that really caught my eye was this quote
"His latest group, the Catholics, had ended badly, and so had his marriage. He'd moved from Los Angeles to Oregon, where he didn't know a soul, and while there was a new girlfriend, the excitement of the relationship was balanced by the chaos of its growing pains."
huh? did i miss something?

Yeah, was an article that 10%er posted where Frank was quoted saying (am paraphrasing) "fist fights on the tour bus, trashed hotel rooms, personal lives spilling over" but I can't find it now either.

If a journalist is writing about a band or a relationship ending and they have no direct evidence as to how/why it ended, they will always assume that it ended badly. |

which show are you looking for?

It was the 4/13/2003 Portland, Oregon show. We just had the best time at the show, and would love a copy. Frank did Dog in the Sand as one of his encores and it was just haunting. I have searched and searched  |

Young is recording his next album in Nashville, with Spooner Oldham involved, BTW!
Yeah, The Catholics are kind of like Crazy Horse, that's a good comparison Stu! |
| Stuart |
Posted - 07/28/2005 : 21:23:47
Going slightly off at a tangent... does anyone know how many Neil Young solo albums there are compared to his work with Crazy Horse. I reckon there might be a chance that the Catholics become a bit like Crazy Horse, where Frank gets them together from time to time to make a new album.

I don't know anything, but it seems to me that the Catholics might have just ended (for now, at least) naturally.
If you look at the gigography on this site, you'll see that band spent a lot of time touring together. It's staggering how much touring they did. They were always out there. For years, the breaks in touring were few and not very long. Even among very mature people, there's lots of room there for friction among band members. |

You never know, Frank might be just taking the piss... Ive heard a few interviews when he's been joking about the messy break up with the Pixies, talking about physically fighting but doing it tongue in cheek. Tongue in cheek doesn't come across in magazine articles and is extremely easy to misinterpret.

2001 long shows, 2-3 hours, more talking, more spontanious, fucking blew my mind
2003 were the shows frank didn't say anything, ramonesque playing song after song,
kind of a let down (only compared to the 2001 shows)
Don't get me wrong
seeing Frank with the catholics 20 cm away from you is mind blowing
whish it would happen again

I saw them at the Galaxy Theater in Orange County, Calif. in 2002. May, I believe. Incredible show, lasted well over 2 hrs with a ton of Devil's Workshop and BLD material.

Sorry, billgoodman. Didn't notice you meant Europe. But they were still incredible in 2002 and 2003 here in the states. |

The whole bit about Frank not knowing a soul in Oregon is wrong too. He has some family that lives here....unless they have moved. |

OK I got it, it's from the Uncut interview:
<<How come you decided to make the record on the eve of the reunion tour?
Well, ‘cause I called Tiven and said the Pixies tour wasn’t happening: “We’re all fightin’ and everything.” And then I had just finished the Catholics, and even if we didn’t say it was the last tour it sure felt like the fuckin’ last tour. We’d been playing together a long time, ten years of hard touring and loading our own gear and not making a lotta money out of it, and we’re hittin’ the mid-life crisis. And they’re all getting mad at me ‘cause I’m forcing them to record live to two-track for the umpteenth time. So it was like, “Alright, Tiven, I don’t know what I’m doing this year, I just got divorced, the Pixies tour ain’t happening, I’m ready to do Black on Blonde.”>>
