The Pixies to Record

[Jason Tate]

Reformed alt-rock legends The Pixies are planning to record their first album in 14 years.

The band's frontman Black Francis has confirmed the band, who got back together last year to huge acclaim, are preparing to make their first studio album since 1991's "Trompe Le Monde".

He told The Sun: "It's all hugs and kisses, I'm pleased to report."

"We have been discussing recording a new album lately. As happy as we are with the success of the reunion tour, we really want to make a record for the right reasons, whether it is successful commercially or not."

He added: "We would be satisfied if it played like our other records, never chart-topping but always in print."

Since the band got back together they have recorded two songs - "Bam Thwok" - which was rejected for the "Shrek 2" soundtrack and then released as a download-only single, and a cover of Warren Zevon's "Ain't That Pretty At All", which appeared on "Enjoy Every Sandwich", a tribute album to the late singer.

Pixies headline this year's Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds Festivals between August 27 and 29.

FUCK YES. The Pixies are the best.

Hopefully we'll get another gem like 'Surfer Rosa'.

I'm sorry, but this band really bothers me. I remember reading an interview from when they reunited, and they blatantly stated that they reunited for the money they would make.

[xearlynovemberx]

Sorry, but thats bullshit.

Sorry, but thats bullshit.

Well, whatever. I don't really give a shit about this band either way. Don't you think their well-documented inter-band drama seemed too much to have a totally creativity-based reuniting anyways?

[ParisKitty16]

Oh man, I am so excited.

[surfwaxsideshow]

This will be awesome. Bam Thwok is great; they definitely haven't lost their touch.

[rockmysocks]

Hoshit. I'm so excited.

I'm e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y (dashes for emphasis) interested in hearing how their new record will sound.

as for a new surfer rosa. i think i'd rather have a new doolittle. or a new sound altogether. i don't know, i just want new pixies.

Yeah, that's true. I read it too. But I don't hate them for it because they were just being honest. Most of the bands we listen to are motivated in some way by $$, whether they admit it or not- nobody wants to be poor.

Luckily, they ended up getting along again and now they're going to record for the right reasons. :thumbsup:

there is no way in hell they can put out a good record today, i fear it only because it will probably make them realize they shoulda ended on the good note they did w/trompe le monde or however u spell it, i'll still buy it anyway, fuckers
