When I first joined FB.net I only had FB's albums up the first one with the Catholics, and had only heard some of the later stuff....now I've gotten back into him and am enjoying the newer songs....ironically, I've always been a huge Pixies fan and I've actually gotten more into Frank's solo stuff since they reformed....

Frank Black :: Los Angeles Re-visited
I lost touch with Frank Black's music
years ago, but not before his 1993
debut/eponymous solo album. At the
time, as a rabid and devout Pixies
fan, this album was highly
anticipated...and hey, surprise, it
wasn't the Pixies sound. But between
it and the Breeders' records it was
close enough - for awhile anyway.
I haven't thought about this record in
over ten years, but while traveling back East a couple of weeks ago the song "Los
Angeles" off the LP was playing on the radio which spawned an excellent
conversation about just how great the accompanying video was. RE: Frank Black
driving a hovercraft through the southern California desert singing about an L.A.
in an alternate universe. No one really did space-alien weird quite like Black
Francis and this early incarnation of Frank Black.
Watch the video below - check out the MP3 and give Black's spin on The Beach
Boys "Hang On To Your Ego" a whirl. It's like it's 1993 all over again. Kinda.

Hey Carl, some of us chat Frank, some of us it seems have chatted about Frank for the past few years so don't bother now.
If in doubt, there are questions in the archives to be answered. |

Wow, a reply to a topic about 9 months old that only had a few replies in the first place(I'm not being smart, it is pretty cool!) Good music is good, bad music is bad, it's just a matter of opinion! |

Yeah, his solo work ain't that bad is it. Not bad at all.
Pixies/Catholics/solo, whichever FB catergory or pigeon hole I've put you in, you can't neglect the rest. There's just too much too hear. Too much to miss. |

I thought it was cool to be handed his two solo efforts and then to walk into a store and say "Hey, here's more Frank Black stuff. With the Catholics?" That was an amazing rediscovery of Frank. Long live the Catholics!!! |

I wasn't a Frank or Pixies fan for very long before this forum was created (although I was a fan of Frank solo first), so I can't really say I've had a chance to undiscover and rediscover his music.

Two friends of mine like the Pixies and the one pushed Frank Black''s first two solo albums on me about 8 years back, not the Pixies. He helped me discover Frank. I love Frank's solo work, and I can't get enough of the alt country sound he and the Catholics put out. It was up to me to kinda discover the Pixies on my own and I am glad Frank's solo career helped me look back and find them. |
