We're not sure, but we're going to report this string of Pixies dates anyway. This summer, the alt-rock dinosaurs will head to Europe for many a music fest and one appearance at a pavilion in Lisbon. Such is life for the reunited, we guess. Here comes your band: 07-14 Trencín, Slovakia - Pahoda Festival 07-15 St. Pölten, Austria - Nuke Festival 07-16 Zagreb, Croatia - Salata Festival 07-19 Toulon, France - Voix de Gaou Festival 07-20 Lisbon, Portugal - Pavilhão Atlântico 07-21 Benicàssim, Spain - Benicàssim Festival 07-23 Carhaix-Plouguer, France - Vieilles Charrues Festival According to Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago, however, the whole reformation thing might be on its way to PlayedOutsVille. He recently told Billboard.com, "It will be an organic process, I guess. After these shows, should we continue on? Should we let it rest? We really don't know." That "organic process" stuff applies to the prospect of a new Pixies record as well. The "tour" announcement comes amid a flurry of Pixies-related activity. The book Fool the World: The Oral History of a Band Called Pixies by Josh Frank and Caryn Ganz was released in America just last week. The reunion documentary loudQUIETloud premiered at the SXSW Film Festival. And the 33 1/3 book series' examination of the Pixies classic album Doolittle, written by New York Times due Ben Sisario, is due in stores in April. Billboard.com also reports that Kim Deal is working on a new Breeders album (yes!), Santiago contributed the score to the Canadian documentary film Radiant City, and drummer David Lovering is, uh, still really into his magic career. Cue "The Final Countdown". Frank Black, on the other hand, continues to record music like the rest of us check our email. In February, he unleashed a double-album collection of B-sides on iTunes. And then on June 20, he'll release another two-disc set, Fastman Raiderman, on Back Porch/EMI. [b]According to his website, it will contain "a combination of tracks that 'didn't fit' with Honeycomb as well as a second Nashville session in 2004 and some new numbers recorded in the recent FBLA Sessions." FBLA is FrankBlack.net-speak for Frank Black in Los Angeles.[/b] Fastman features contributions from a murderer's row of veterans, including Levon Helm of the Band, Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick, Al "I played the organ on 'Like a Rolling Stone'" Kooper, Steve Cropper of Booker T. & the MG's, and Memphis soul legend Spooner Oldham. Somewhere, Cat Power is drooling. But will it ever end?: Disc One: 01 If Your Poison Gets You 02 Johnny Barleycorn 03 Fast Man 04 You Can't Crucify Yourself 05 Dirty Old Town 06 Wanderlust 07 Seven Days 08 Raiderman 09 The End of the Summer 10 Dog Sleep 11 When the Paint Grows Darker Still 12 I'm Not Dead (I'm in Pittsburgh) 13 Golden Shore Disc Two: 01 In the Time of My Ruin 02 Down to You 03 Highway to Lowdown 04 Kiss My Ring 05 My Terrible Ways 06 Fitzgerald 07 Elijah 08 It's Just Not Your Moment 09 The Real El Rey 10 Where the Wind Is Going 11 Holland Town 12 Sad Old World 13 Don't Cry That Way 14 Fare Thee Well * Pitchfork Review: Pixies: Hey!: Live Pixies 2004-2005 * Pitchfork Review: Frank Black: Honeycomb * Pixies (unofficial): http://www.pixiesmusic.com/ * Frank Black: http://www.frankblack.net/ -Brian [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
