Announced yesterday. Solo at the Wellfleet Beachcomber in Wellfleet MA (Cape Cod). My girlfriend and I went the last couple of years and she shows are great! Last year, we got to hang out with his family.
Great article. Apparently, he is moving from Oregon to the mean streets of western Massachusetts. Got to hang out with his family last year. Too much fun!! Just FB and Eric Drew Feldman this year (no drummer). Should be a great show!
Thank you. I just got my tix on the Beachcomber website. Very excited anout this show. Saw FBF there two years ago. I hope there's a bonfire on the beach after the show.

"We don't exactly high-five the crowd and throw any beach balls around. There is a Boston New England anti (showbiz) thing, which is what we come from. I hope that if we record new music we don't forget that."
I don't think they will. The show Thursday was great!! Love the way that he and Eric Drew Feldman mix things up. Very affable. No roadies so they packed up all their own gear after the show. My girlfriend and I both got pixtures with him after the show. Very gracious. Great time! The bartender Jamie is really nice too!
I wonder if the Pixies will release new material. I think they could really rock out on some FB material. I love the Pixies as much as the next guy but his body of solo work (and with the Catholics and others) is just incredible. He should be in the same class of songwriters as Dylan, Tom Waits, and a couple more. The man rocks!
It was pretty close to this set that he played in NY the other day. Had a bit of a strange start. Reid Paley and the audience were not getting along so well. He got booed and left then came back and played a pretty rocking show. Not sure what the booing was about (I was in line at the bar). Once he got going he rocked it pretty damn good. Frank Black was in fine form and his scream was very well intact!!!
Reid's set:
The Anesthetist's Song See You Again Better Days Lucky's Tune L.A. Serenade If I Knew Then What I Knew Now Take What You Want Waiting Out the Rain Lazarus in Brooklyn

aunt made a last minute decision to take our shared family cottage in mashpee so this would have been way too long a drive for me without a place to stay on the cape. luckily i didn't buy a ticket in advance. second summer i've missed him with edf now, nuts. and i love paley as well. he's gotten booed every time i've seen him open for frank
Solo show 7/28 @ Wellfleet Beachcomber
