I've always written it as Frank Black and the Catholics, but I've also seen it as Frank Black & The Catholics, or Frank Black and The Catholics. Which one is correct? I've always assumed the band was simply known as Catholics, so adding a the is simply for aesthetics (like the Pixies).
iTunes has it down as Frank Black & The Catholics, though.

It really annoys me when iTunes doesn't group the Frank Black under one title.
I would go with the "and" |

With the lower-case "the"?

I know i've read this somewhere before, but today, in my flu soaked brain, I forget the answer. |

Plain Pixies is just fine Aurora.
But it does get confusing when writing Pixies into a sentence.
Sometimes it's grammatically correct to place a 'the' before the word.

If I remember well, there once was one of the catholics who used to post here (who was it? Rich?), and Dave gave him a title of "Catholic" and he asked that the uppercase was removed ("catholic" then). I don't remember the exact details though.
