Pixies Confirm Reports of New Album
by Frances Lopez | 07.21.2005
This is probably something that most fans have been dreaming about for over a decade: a new Pixies album. Pixies frontman Frank Black (or Black Francis, depending on what tickles your fancy) has confirmed that the band, who just reunited last year, will be recording their first studio album since 1991's Trompe Le Monde. Not much has been released about this forthcoming album, but to most fans, all that matters is that it's finally happening.
The band has been getting back into the swing of things after playing shows all around the world for the past year. Last year's online single "Bam Thwok" was the first Pixies recording in thirteen years, and was supposed to be part of the "Shrek 2" soundtrack, but was rejected before the soundtrack was to be reproduced. The band also did a cover of a Warren Zevon song for the late artists' tribute album.
The Pixies will be headlining this year's Reading and Leeds Festivals in the UK and will be announcing further tour dates in the late fall. Frank Black's new solo album Honeycomb hit records stores this week, and rumor has it that possible new material for Kim Deal's band The Breeders will be coming out in 2006.

BLACK FEARS PIXIES COMEBACK ALBUM WILL BE A LONG TIME COMING
THE PIXIES reunion might be short lived because leader FRANK BLACK insists he can't justify touring next year (06) without having new material to play.
The GIGANTIC rockers feel like they're under pressure to record a new album, but Black is keen to return to his solo career after teaming up with soul session stars STEVE CROPPER and SPOONER OLDHAM for his acclaimed new CD HONEYCOMB.
He also reports that bandmate KIM DEAL is keen to return to the studio with her rock group the BREEDERS and drummer DAVID LOVERING is planning to return to his side job as a magician - so Pixies fans will have a long wait before the group, which reformed last year (04), returns to the studio - if at all.
Black says, "We don't want to overstay our welcome. If we were gonna go on tour next summer, for example, we feel under a little pressure to record a record or something.
"We haven't booked a session or anything. I've never had this much attention put on me... I feel like I'm in OASIS or something, or some really hot band. Maybe I am, I don't know."
Meanwhile, Black hopes to follow up his new solo album by piecing together another supergroup for his next recording - he'll team up with former FACES star IAN McLAGAN and the BAND's LEVON HELM.

Doesn't seem to be any text to this article from NME, titled "Pixies mainman gives lowdown on band's new album", maybe they 'll update it later.
By the way this promo poster is pretty cool, obviously being sold by somebody that doesn't know much about the band. |

Frank Black Says Pixies 'Getting Closer' To Making New LP
07.29.2005 10:14 AM EDT
'We gotta do something else if we're going to ... continue to make money,' he says.
After the San Diego Street Scene on Saturday, the Newport Folk Festival next weekend and a European tour in August, the Pixies will call an end to their triumphant reunion — and that could be a good thing for fans.
"We gotta do something else if we're going to go out there and continue to make money," singer/guitarist Frank Black explained recently. "I mean, we could keep doing it the way we're doing it, but it might ... at some point, we'll be overstaying our welcome, so to speak, as the reunited band. We have to either stop being reunited and go back to our lives or do something vital and relevant."
That something could very well be the first Pixies studio album in 14 years. Fans have speculated about the possibility of another album since the band first reunited last spring, but the Pixies have avoided the subject in interviews and seemingly with each other (see "New Pixies LP Unlikely, But Another New Track's On The Way").
But, "as the high-paying gigs get fewer and fewer, yes, we're getting closer," joked Black, who was known as Black Francis during the Pixies' initial tenure. "We haven't thought about it too much. I'm sure we'd make a fine record, we just haven't done it yet."
The recording sessions would not come immediately, however, as bassist Kim Deal is making another reunion album of sorts, with the Breeders, and Black is hoping to tour behind his just-released solo album, Honeycomb (see "Frank Black Covers Elvis, Duets With Ex-Wife On Dylanesque Album").
Black is also putting the finishing touches on another solo album he recorded in October, tentatively titled The Sicilian.
"I guess there's a Mario Puzo ['The Godfather'] book called 'The Sicilian,' so I don't know, I can't decide if I should continue to call it that," Black said.
The Pixies singer wrote some of the songs with Reid Paley, who co-authored the Honeycomb tune "Another Velvet Nightmare," although Black said the follow-up is quite different.
"I did a song that's musically based on some famous classical music," Black said. "So that has a sophisticated, kind of Leonard Cohen vibe. I don't know. The record hasn't officially been declared finished. We're just not in a rush."
As for this summer's Pixies tour, the band has added some different tunes to its set, including "Stormy Weather," but otherwise, not much has changed.
"It sort of feels like the same summer," Black said. "I have to keep reminding myself it's a different summer."
For an in-depth interview with Black, check out the feature "The Pixies: Living Large."

'Keep The Ball Rolling' brings you...
Singer FRANK BLACK is convinced his first album in 15 years with the PIXIES will be a success, even though he has yet to write any new songs.
The DEBASER hitmaker is delighted to be back with JOEY SANTIAGO, DAVID LOVERING and KIM DEAL onstage - but he is desperate not to tour again without writing new material.
Although Black is feeling the pressure, he knows his old bandmates will turn the songs he does write into a bona fide Pixies disc.
He says, "We do discuss making a record in the most casual kind of way.
"With the exception of Australia we've kind of played everywhere that we can play, so we're thinking, gee, we enjoy being in a band together again.
"So even if we just get together once in a blue moon to play the old songs, how are we gonna do that without coming off as tacky? So I suppose one way to accomplish that is to work on some new material.
"We haven't jammed but I don't really know what it would sound like. Joey (guitarist) told me not to worry about it, he said, 'Just write some songs and the Pixies will make it sound like the Pixies.'"
Nothing Catholic on the horizon. But then again. What does that mean. I mean. Horizon in terms of real life - frnck blck |

More on New Pixies Album
Pixies frontman Frank Black has revealed more about his band's new album, the first since 1991’s Trompe Le Monde.
“We do discuss making a record in the most casual kind of way. We don’t want to overstay our welcome in terms of performing under the banner of a reunion. With the exception of Australia we’ve kind of played everywhere that we can play, so we’re thinking, gee, we enjoy being in a band together again. So even if we just get together once in a blue moon to play the old songs, how are we gonna do that without coming off as tacky? So I suppose one way to accomplish that is to work on some new material,” Black said.
“We haven’t jammed but I don’t really know what it would sound like. Joey (Santiago) told me not to worry about it, he said, ‘just write some songs and the Pixies will make it sound like the Pixies’,” he added.
Black recently released his new solo album Honeycomb.

Alternative Rock God's The Pixies Plan New Album
July 30, 2005 11:56 p.m. EST
Douglas Maher - All Headline News Staff Reporter
Los Angeles, CA (AHN) - Fans through the 1990s and certainly up to 2004 could not imagine alternative rockers The Pixies ever reuniting again, let alone recording a new album.
But that is what is about to happen.
"We gotta do something else if we're going to go out there and continue to make money," vocalist/guitarist Frank Black tells MTV. "I mean, we could keep doing it the way we're doing it,but it might at some point, we'll be overstaying our welcome, so to speak as the reunited band. We have to either stop being reunited and go back to our lives or do something vital and relevant."
Don't count on seeing a studio album until late 2006 Black says, bassist Kim Deal is set to do another reunion with The Breeders towards the end of 2005 and that would eat up a chunk of next year. |
