FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MONDAY, July 18, 2005 PIXIES¹ SANTIAGO SCORES SHOWTIME SERIES ³WEEDS² In addition to being the guitarist for one of the most influential and beloved bands of all-time, PIXIES¹ guitarist Joey Santiago is forging a career in television. Over the past few months in-between Pixies¹ reunion dates, Santiago has been holed up in the studio scoring the original music for ³Weeds,² the new Showtime original comedy series that debuts August 10. ³Weeds² stars Mary-Louise Parker, Elizabeth Perkins and Kevin Nealon, and looks at ³typical² family life in the suburban neighborhood of Agrestic, CA where recently-widowed Nancy Botwin (Parker) makes ends meet by becoming the neighborhood pot dealer. ³This is a lot of fun and something I can continue to do when I¹ll embarrass my kids by being on stage,² joked Santiago. ³Scoring a TV series is a lot different than playing in a band, the pace and deadlines are completely different, but once you get into the groove, it¹s really great.² Hailed as ³the most talked-about comedy in ages² by Newsweek, ³Weeds² will air on Showtime Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 10:00PM. Prior to his work on ³Weeds,² Santiago composed original music for the Fox-TV series ³Undeclared,² and co-scored the feature film ³Crime and Punishment in Suburbia.² He recently wrote a theme for the Cartoon Network's show "Sunday Pants" which will premiere on September 25 at 9:30PM. As a member of Pixies, Santiago and his band mates recently received their second Gold record for their 1988 album, ³Surfer Rosa.² The band will headline this year¹s Lollapalooza festival to be held this Saturday, July 23 in Chicago, and perform an atypical acoustic set at the Newport Folk Festival on August 6.
