Pixies frontman Frank Black (Black Francis), in the midst of a tour with the revered four-piece, launched his own record label, The Bureau.

Black Francis (o Frank Black, come preferite) dei Pixies ha lanciato la sua etichetta discografica The Bureau. L'annuncio è arrivato proprio mentre il cantante era impegnato con la sua storica band Pixies in un toru statunitense. La prima uscita sotto etichetta The Bureau sarà un album di Jeremy Dubs, ma è già stato confermato che - naturalmente - passeranno dalla nuova casa discografica anche le prossime uscite soliste di Black Francis e un ipotetico nuovo album dei Pixies. Visto lo status leggendario che i Pixies hanno accumulato negli anni, rivoluzionando la [...]
Despite the feeling that the always recognizable and idiosyncratic Pixies have contributed aplenty to the musical landscape of the last 20 years, Black Francis , their singer and chief songwriter, is still more diverse than he seems. If you compared his first solo album, 19932s grunge-infused Frank Black , with the sometimes-country stylings of 2006's Fast Man Raider Man or even the synth and brass re-arrangements of Pixies songs on Frank Black Francis , you'd stumble upon three very different albums with an assortment of styles. But one [...]

Frank Black / Black Francis / Charles Thompson of the Pixies played Outland last Friday in a balmy, balmy show. It was pretty miserable on the floor in my shorts and tank top but I can't even imagine how the man survived for an hour and a half on stage! Nonetheless it was a great show. [...]

The pair said: "We wrote the music for the songs in Paley's apartment in Brooklyn over three afternoons when Francis was in New York. We each took half of the songs to finish off with lyrics, [...]

Feito em parceria com o compositor Reid Paley , o trabalho se chamará Paley & Francis e foi gravado em apenas dois dias (o que deve justificar o fato deles não terem tido tempo para pensar em um título melhor). A dupla explica que as dez faixas foram compostas no apartamento de Paley , [...]

Unbeknownst to concertgoers everywhere (including us), Pixies still have cities left that haven't had a chance to witness 19892s Doolittle live, as in on-stage and in the flesh. This fall, the Boston quintet wants to remedy that, and so they're going on a fourth leg of tour dates, which, if you recall, originally started as a 20th anniversary celebration of the aforementioned album. So, technically, we're celebrating its 22nd anniversary, but hey, who's counting? Dubbed the "Lost Cities" tour, Pixies will play 19 previously unvisited cities, beginning in Rochester, NY on October [...]
Frank Black of Grand Duchy at Siren Festival (07/18/09) Photo : Jon Klemm ( more ) Because I imagine it's hard to give up a good thing, Pixies have announced yet another set of Doolittle tour dates. As the "Lost Cities" moniker suggests, this round of shows is geared towards visiting those towns and hamlets that were left out of previous Pixies tour itineraries. While there is no proper NYC show this time around, the band will be visiting the nearby Wellmont Theatre on [...]
