Hey folks - I have bad news: the show has been cancelled. I checked the Beachcomber site, and it's no longer listed. I emailed them and they said the Newport Festival "won't allow Frank to play"?!??!? They told me my credit card had been credited with my 2 tix purchase. Please make sure you all get your $ back!

Fast Forward to One Year Later......
It's on!
Frank Black will be making his way back to the salty Cape on August 18, at the Wellfleet Beachcomber.
I'll post ticket purchase options as soon as the ink is dry. I can't thank Frank enough for remembering us after the Newport Folk Festival bullshit from a year ago.
cheers,

Dan, what is your connection with this venue?

For three years I lived on the Cape, then 7 months after I moved he did a show at the Beachcomber.
If it's really happening, I'll be there this time. |

Billboard Bits: Frank Black, Blues & Brews,
Caldo Verde
June 15, 2006, 3:10 PM ET
Pixies frontman Frank Black has expanded his run
of summer solo acoustic dates opening for the Foo
Fighters with a host of headlining appearances.
The outing, Black's first under his own name since
1995, will begin Aug. 9 in Salt Lake City and wraps
Aug. 31 in Sacramento, Calif.
Sprinkled in between are seven opening slots with Foo Fighters, beginning Aug. 15 in
Washington, D.C. Black will be spotlighting material from his two recent solo releases: last
year's "Honeycomb" and the brand new "Fastman/Raiderman," due Tuesday (June 20) via
Back Porch.
As previously reported, the Pixies will play seven European shows next month, beginning July
14 in Trencin, Slovakia.

Frank Black takes solo road behind new album
June 15, 2006 01:11 PM

Pixies frontman Frank
Black (tickets | music) will
go solo this summer,
forgoing the burden of a
full backing band to
support his new album, "Fast Man Raider Man," due in stores
June 20.
Black will play a mix of his own solo acoustic shows and support
dates for Foo Fighters during parts of their summer tour, kicking
off the trek Aug. 9 in Salt Lake City.
"I'm excited about these dates," Black said in a press release. "I
like doing solo shows, it's a very intense and personal
experience, very different from playing with a band. I like the idea
that I don't have to 'follow the beat,' that I can pull the songs a part
a little bit, change the set right there on stage if I want. And playing
theaters is the best kind of venue to see a concert--everyone's
sitting down, relaxed, and ready to be entertained."
The solo dates are the singer/guitarist's first since 1995. Over the
last decade he has toured extensively with several backing units,
the longest lasting of these being The Catholics, with whom he
recorded five albums in the late '90s and early years of this
decade, the last of which was the 2002 combo of "Black Letter
Days" and "Devil's Workshop."
Black, of course, was also front and center during the celebrated
Pixies reunion over the last couple of years.
"Fast Man Raider Man," Black's 11th solo album since the original
breakup of the Pixies in 1992, was recorded over a two-year
period at studios in Nashville and Los Angeles, and features a
long list of accomplished guest musicians, including The Band's
Levon Helm, legendary keyboardist Al Kooper, and bassist Tom
Petersson from Cheap Trick.

• The cult of Frank: Distractions, who came of age
listening to the Pixies, is happy to report that the band's
legendary frontman, Frank Black, is set to bring his new
solo acoustic tour to town. Haven't kept up with most of
Black's post-Pixies catalog? That's a shame. He's got
enough solo albums to stock a small store -- and some
stand up next to the best of the Pixies. Try his latest,
"Fast Man Raider Man," or, for what we think is the
cream of the crop, 2003's "Show Me Your Tears." Black
plays Harlow's (2708 J St.) on Aug. 31. Tickets ($15
advance, $17 at door) go on sale Saturday at The Beat,
Dimple Records, Armadillo Records and Tickets.com. |

I've been so broke lately that I haven't been able to afford a ticket to this. I kept putting it off, saying, "Tickets will still be available next week, don't worry, you can buy one then," which is a terrible attitude to take towards seeing your favorite artist of all time -- in such a small venue, no less.
Luckily, I mentioned the show in conversation with my dad today and he bought me one as a gift.
He also bought one for himself, though, which kind of worries me. I mean, he has no clue who Frank Black is. I don't think he'd enjoy his music. Especially as this is going to just be an acoustic gig; a rocking show with the Catholics I'd feel better about, but not with just the man and his guitar. I'd love for my dad to have a good time, though...
Ah well. I'm going to see Frank sans Pixies for the first time since 2002. That's all that matters.

Sounds like a cool dad to me! BTW- He doesn't care who's playing, he just wants to hang with his son.
My dad would have said, "Tough shit, kid. You and your heavy metal horseshit are gonna have to meet up some other day. HA HA HA HA H-, (cough cough) HA-aaa-aaaaaaa!" |
