Frank Black: Kim Deal is against new Pixies album Singer speaks out about new record 12.Oct.07 2:00pm
Pixies will not be making a new album, due to bassist Kim Deal's reluctance, says frontman Frank Black.
Despite plans the reunited band would start work on a new album in January of this year, Black denied this was the case.
He told The Gothamist that bassist Kim Deal was against a new album, saying: "While I may have tried to convince her otherwise, maybe she's got a point... She doesn't need a new Pixies record, so maybe there doesn't need to be one."
Black has just released a new album 'Bluefinger' under his Pixies name of Black Francis while Deal's band The Breeders are working with Steve Albini on a new album.
It's a tad over the top. One quote spawns how many articles?! If I were Kim, and was considering it, I certainly wouldn't be now. Actually, If I were Kim, I'd be in the recording studio taping catchy songs that pop into my head.
It's not even a story anymore, is it? No Pixies album. How long have we known about this one.
I for one would like to buy a new Pixie's album, even if there is a new base player. Plenty of bands go on and make new albums even after the loss of a member. Why not go Black Francis vocals and guitar, Joey Santiago guitar, David Lovering on drums, and John Doe on Base. This kind of thing never stopped Metallica.
Here we go again (latest media bull)....
