Pixies frontman Frank Black has expanded his run of summer solo acoustic dates opening for the Foo Fighters with a host of headlining appearances. The outing, Black's first under his own name since 1995, will begin Aug. 9 in Salt Lake City and wraps Aug. 31 in Sacramento, Calif.
Sprinkled in between are seven opening slots with Foo Fighters, beginning Aug. 15 in Washington, D.C. Black will be spotlighting material from his two recent solo releases: last year's "Honeycomb" and the brand new "Fastman/Raiderman," due Tuesday (June 20) via Back Porch.
As previously reported, the Pixies will play seven European shows next month, beginning July 14 in Trencin, Slovakia.
