If you haven't yet pre-ordered Surfer Blood 's debut Astro Coast you should get on that ASAP. You'll feel better about getting into them before the rest of the indieverse and the Pitchfork accoutrement does. We've been loving the Florida music ( Holiday Shores , Blind Man's Colour , Chromatic Flights , Viernes , Levek ) so naturally Surfer Blood is right up our alley. But honestly, even if Florida...

The Pixies at the Aragon Ballroom in November. Ah, déjà vu. Seems like this happened five years ago (because it did, more or less). A set chock full of old jams, no new material in sight, smiling faces in the crowd and on the stage.There were still a few surprises (a giant video board, pre-show advertisements for USB wristbands at the merch booth), but this is the same Pixies from 2004....

By Jodi Root Five years ago, almost to the day, my life changed. The impossible became not only possible, but actual history and the Pixies reunited. They said it could never happen, but the moment I heard that Frank Black and Kim Deal let bygones be bygones and embarked on a reunion tour in 2004, you [...]

, an ahead-of-its-time band two decades ago, got its due on a wildly received 2004 reunion tour. Since then, the quartet hasn’t bothered to put out any new music and remains more popular than ever. On Thursday in the first of three concerts at the Aragon, singer-guitarist Black Francis (a k a Charles Thompson), bassist Kim Deal, guitarist Joey Santiago and drummer David Lovering looked back once...

Sparklehorse's collaboration with Fennesz makes for a particularly dreamy and ambient installment of the In the Fishtank series. Sparklehorse's usually reclusive core member, Mark Linkous, has been relatively busy in 2009. He played a lead role in the year's magnum collaborative opus Dark Night of the Soul, an album of genius which found him working with producer Danger Mouse to provide the sonic groundwork...

I've been a Pixies fan for a while now, but I was too young to catch their first go-round, and I somehow stupidly missed their prior reunion tour, so their performance of great sophomore album Doolittle (plus b-sides!) at the sold-out Paramount last night was a real thrill. The band came out to huge applause, Deal chirped that they were going to play some b-sides, and with they launched into "Dancing...

Pixies at once excelled at traditional rock 'n' roll and made fun of it at the Paramount Monday, playing the entirety of its sexual, violent 1989 album "Doolittle." The sold out crowd screamed for every song and seemed to take the concert as a straight-up spectacle of sound and fury.

It has lately come to my attention that some very smart people I know — who otherwise have great taste in music and art and all things cultural — don’t know who the Pixies are. If this is the case with any of our readers, I’m going to fix that today. The Pixies [...]

The reunited Pixes kicked off their nine city US tour -- the one where they play Doolittle cover to cover -- in Los Angeles earlier this week. The band's celebrating a lot, from the 20th anniversary of that classic LP to the release of the physically massive Minotaur boxed set (not so much a coffee table decoration as a coffee table), in various ways this week. You can download a free live EP culled...

Everybody pins Pixies' awesomeness on lead songwriter Charles Thompson, aka Frank Black, and it's true that in its genius late '80s run, when Pixies inadvertently created alternative rock, he wrote those fantastic compacted/fragmented psycho-pop songs. And the famous sex 'n' violence 'n' mythology lyrics.

The Pixies frontman ponders life, success and his band's reunion as the group prepares a 'Doolittle'-themed trio of shows at the Hollywood Palladium. The man they called Black Francis sipped his morning coffee, munched on chopped fruit and chuckled at the strange odyssey of this thing called life. In the past, the singer for the Pixies was famous for sounding crazed, possessed or sinister onstage,...
