Frank Black is many different things to many different people. To some, he's an anonymous cloaked shadowy figure lurking on the rooftops in dark, gothic cities. To most, however, he is the current lead singer of Frank Black & the Catholics, the former frontman of the late 80's surf-punk band Pixies. (I hate to use that tag, because they were much more than this.)
Yes, some would say he is a wierdo, although not in a dark, brooding Maynard James Keenan kind of way, or an angry, embittered soul like Trent Reznor. His wierdness and surreality stem from his very visual lyrical imagery -- songs such as "Whatever Happened to Pong," and "Brackish Boy." I'm not aware of the Pixies ever being called "the Pixies of the Glen," though; unless there's some tour they did in Ireland that went strangely awry. (This would be the scenario: Many, many O'Douls downed in a short amount of time, and they decide to put on a Celtic-style Pixies show for their next gig. Black Francis dresses in green tights, or even more grotesquely, legless green underwear kind of like what Robin used to wear, and a pair of pointy green shoes with a big belt buckle on the front. They play the entire set of "Bossanova" to Irish jig music, complete with bagpipes and dancing. Only get to "Ana" before the booze wears them out, and they collapse on stage. Wake later feeling very awkward and uncomfortable, as they are all dressed in skin-fitting green tights.)
Frank seems to be something of a joker, although I don't know him personally. I can't imagine him being a very serious person all the time. He does indeed have a simple name, although when he was with the Pixies he was Black Francis. I don't know his ethnicity; he seems like a cracker-mutt of some kind to me. His real name, Charles Thompson, sounds vaguely English, but I don't know specifics.
Hope this helps. By the by, did you just stumble into this forum by accident?
