Deal is okay, but Pixies lack that punch that other all-male bands possess. Look at Nirvana!
I think it would be best if they let Deal go and pick up a good, strong male bassist like Flea from Red Hot Chile Peppers or the bass player from Primus.
Let Deal join the Go Go's or Bangles. |

The band you are looking for is called the Catholics.

a) If you want Nirvana... listen to Nirvana. Or the gazillion other all-male bands.
b) Half of the Pixies' sound is derived from Kim's sweet backing vocals.
c) Playing bass is not something requiring extra-masculine strength.
d) What Thomas said.
 "I joined the Cult of Frank / Wooteenie!" |

| Flea and Les Claypool are FANTASTIC bass players. But NOT suitable for The Pixies. |

You cannot just add and subtract members into the Pixies, or they would not be the Pixies. the Pixies are a sum of all the parts. Without Kim, they would be just another band and you wouldn't have her soft/quiet to FB's loud. Do you really want Flea singing lead on Gigantic, ITW, In Heaven, ect?

If you're looking for a male who can pluck those quarter-notes on the bass like Kim does, may I suggest Michael Anthony? He is apparently unemployed at the moment and could use the exercise.

I don't have the 'valley-girl accent', but I must say with my own accent, KIM IS PERFECT WITH THE BASS.
I justcan't imagine the Pixies without her.
I feel like a completely different person |

More benefits to Michael Anthony:
1. Steadiest quarter notes in the biz
2. Ample experience with multi-million dollar music tours
3. Has more hair than Kim Deal
4. Aggressive yet endearing smile
5. Other Pixies needn't worry about him submitting his own songs (he doesn't write any) |

Not to sound disrespectful but are you joking, Bitch Cakes?
The Pixies are the Pixies in part because of Ms. Deal.
Lay off my girl! She's the perfect and only bassist for the Pixies.
 I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics |

Sorry, I'm note agree....I'm a bass player and I don't think that the gender make a better or a worst bassist. I love the style of Kim.

So, Bitch Cakes (if that IS your real name), do you honestly think men are better bass players than women? Isn't that a rather misogynistic attitude?
Not only am I quite fond of Ms. Deal's vocals, but I think it's kind of cool that the Pixies are a co-educational band.

I don't think anyone could do what Kim does. To me, she is one of the few that can pull of the simple yet intelligent basslines while providing some of the most endearing and chilling backig vocals I've ever heard. Like K said, without her, they aren't the Pixies.
Some brains just work that way, that's what chemicals can do. |

I really don't see what gender has to with being a bassist or any other job. If you could explain why having a vagina and breasts makes one an inferior bass player, I am curious of what you have to say about this gender bias.
Hands down she is the best bassisit can think of. Can you personally name a better one??
And plus I agree with everyone that Kim's voice is also super cool... the Pixies woudn't be the same with out her.

James Best aka Roscoe P. Coltrane and Andy Griffith!
Can James Best play guitar? I looked for trivia, I found trivia, "Cousin of singers Don Everly and Phil Everly." |

If Animal is replacing David, maybe Janis could replace Kim.

A transexual bassist would solve the problem. Hands and wrists manly enough to grip that bass like Bitch Cakes would want it to be gripped with breasts and a smile to keep the indie boys happy.

I remember that Michael Anthony guy. He was hanging from a chain alongside a guy with tights screaming Pannama, Pannama, yet he could still play his bass. Impressive.
