Found this Pixies tribute site on my travels and was impressed with the number and of free mp3 samples. Advanced apologies if there's a link elsewhere on the forum, I couldn't find one so...

Thats cool and all. But why don't you write your own songs. That would be much more interesting to hear. If you have, post a link to your stuff.

| He probably posted this here because it is a Pixies website, as opposed to a "post about your band's original songs" website. |

Correct, although I am trying to get a band together myself. Unfortunately we have no lead guitarist, the drummer doesn't own a drum kit and our bassist has a genral lack of interest. Couple these elements with the fact that I can't really sing, and all the lyrics I've written so far have gone straight to the recycle bin and your not exactly looking at an award winning combination. Maybe someday, sometime I'll upload an acoustic session somewhere but until then, like Sheamus said I just posted cause it was Pixies related.

I would rather hear a band that is inspired by the Pixies, then a band that is doing Pixies covers. I bet they are a group of nice people and all, but if there were only cover bands there would be no Pixies. The kids obviously have good taste in music, so what they come up with would be interesting.
I downloaded all of the covers they did.
You don't need a lead guitarist to play songs. If there should be a solo there, just play rythym guitar in those spots.
Where are you guys from anyways? |

Clearly, that hasn't stopped Big Big Love.

Hi, I'm one of the people in Big Big Love. We are from Oakland California (USA) and basicly started Big Big Love as a "fun party band" project after all our old respective bands broke up. We did it because we all totally love the Pixies and thought it would be fun to do a "tribute" band. Our bassist moved to Seattle Washington (USA) about a year ago, so we don't really play shows much any more, just when she can come out and visit or is bringing her new band out on tour. Big Big Love played a total of 7 shows in the year and a half we existed and played 23 different Pixies songs (and one Breeders song) in our various sets.
The MP3s are songs from a practice we recorded back in early 2002, a couple months after the band formed. Those versions of the songs are okay, and we got a lot better as time went on. All four of the main members sing (or try to sing depending on your point of view), and for live shows we sometimes had a synth player for the songs with Strings or Theremin or what have you.
We all have been in bunches of other bands. Lori, the bassist, was in poontwang (http://pottymouth.org/poontwang/) and has formed a new band in Seattle called "The Hot Rollers" (no website yet).
Bobby, the lead guitarist, was in Kumkuat (http://www.kumquat.info) and is in a new band called "creature in the sky" (http://www.steppinin.com/).
Scott and I (Manny) were/are in Broken (http://pottymouth.org/broken/), and have a new band called Skiffington (http://pottymouth.org/skiffington/).
And yeah, I've been in a bunch of crappy bands over the years.

Why do you think this guy is saying that this is his band, he was just posting a site to a Pixies Tribute band?
And for fuck's sake, I would rather go and hear someone play some Pixies songs than there fucking horrible ass originals.
I listened to the songs, and yeah, it's not the Pixies, it's a tribute TO the Pixies, saying "Thanks, I love your songs, I'd like to spread them like the Gospel and sing along with some drunk people in a bar."
I don't think this link was put here to judge the band, I think it was put here because, duh, this is a Pixies aficiando's site and there might be some interest.
What if I just said, Leonard Nimoy sucks. Why didn't you think of a more original name? SHouldn't you be on the Star Trek Board and not in your parent's basement bugging folks on their internet dime?
It just makes me laugh, some 10 posters boasting opinion like he owns the place. |

The guy from Big Big Love posted at the same time I was writing.
Don't listen to stupid fucks. I liked it. I would have loved to see it.
Shit, I would have loved to sing for the band. I can do FB pretty damn good when I want to.
I liked the Mp3s, mistakes and all. |

Don't be an idiot swimmer.
Everyone has a right to his or her opinion.
Just because yours sucks doesn't mean everyone else's will too.

Now you reply with something bitter and retarded.
And we'll go round in circles.
Does this give you pleasure? You gave your opinion, I gave mine. Why don't you just move on?
Try to do this in real life where someone can reach your scrawny neck and you won't get very far. It's always the idiots who continue forum fights, so I'm out of this one. |

Am I so stupid it's funny, or is it funny that I'm so stupid?

Why would saying "Good Riddance", an old, old, phrase, make me a Green Day Fan.
