Was hoping for a smaller venue but glad they're playing a non-festival date in London. Fingers crossed for new stuff, Trompe stuff etc. |

Joey: "Nah."
Then another interviewer was trying to rephrase the same question: "But... how do you feel about being so influential ??? How do you live with that ??"
BF: "We drink a lot."

I found it comical
No Kim Deal (Tick)
Sex and bible (Tick)
Loud Quiet Loud (Tick)
Nirvana (Tick)
Old songs better than new songs (Tick)
Not interacting with the fans (Tick)
Unsexy Christian Rock loving front man (WTF?)
Honestly my nine year old could have done better (and she wasn't even at the gig) |

I hope that distinctly unsexy reporter didn't get paid for that "review."
He could have stayed home and written 98% of it from (faulty) memory.
Why do newspapers even bother to (re)print pieces like that after this long?

Glad you all like the video :)
It was an interesting gig. Charles was really going for it on some of the songs... never heard Subbacultcha like that before.
First time I've heard Nimrod's Son played on the Telecaster at a Pixies gig too.
Joey started playing the Head Carrier squalling riff by mistake over the start of Subba.
Classic Masher sounded brilliant... you'd think they'd been playing it for years.
No sign of the SG at this show: Charles just stuck to the two Teles and the acoustic. |

When they debuted Magdalena 318 on the last of their 5 LA nights I had tears in my eyes. Not ashamed to admit it.
Cool ;-)
And thanks again for sharing your videos, those were the black&white ones if I remember correctly ? I think I got some accurate chords for a bunch of songs from them ;-)

Nice. It kinda has a catholics and screaming Pixies vibe to it. I feel more optimistic about the new album too now. That and the new songs being shorter like old school Pixies is a good sign I think. |

(ahhh.... that week of shows in LA was probably one of the best weeks of my life)
Didn't BF once said it was the worst shows he ever did ?
They were very good IMO. I liked Shattuck vocals better than Paz (and thanks for taping those shows btw !)
Yesterday a large part of the gig was broadcasted live on Periscope. We should monitor this for the next ones !

PS I love the man's scream. Definitely awe inspiring. Always loved this bit from the "Gouge" documentary about BF's scream. :) https://youtu.be/UjAhm82v1es?t=39m14s |

Tame meets I Switched You. Fantastic!
How the fuck does this man keep his vocal cords from rupturing? |

Seems catchy even if it is a lot of screaming. I like it more with each listen. |

Posted - 07/11/2016 : 15:20:50
hahahahahahaha
Instead of screaming a bit in many of the songs, now he's letting a lot of those parts slide, and saving his throat up so he can scream ALL THE WAY THROUGH this one.
hahahahahahaha
I really do love FBF.

They didnt stick to that, Velvety was earlier (and not as good as Catholics version) and don't remember U Mass at all.
Cindy, Isla, Brick were all standouts. First time Ive seen them play Tony too - was fun.
Baal was best of the new stuff, more hollering than anything I can remember. Masher and Chagga were solid but need to hear Head Carrier again before makig mind up.
Lots of long intros, Paz has really fitted in now - doing her own thing and not trying to be Kim.
Arent they announcing more London dates before Xmas?!?
