Pixies - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@evilbbc]

This woman who is interviewing them is fucking smart. Incredible, actually. She is asking the exact right questions and doing so effortlessly.

[@jimd4004]

+Josh Chambers Cheryl is the best, she always asks legit questions man and is very positive to boot.

[@thunderfoot4969]

+Jim D Cheryl is indeed always the best in these KEXP videos.

[@evilbbc]

+Thunder Foot +Jim D Cheryl Waters brings out a real sweetness and innocence in Black Francis. So great.

[@rbergeron3]

+Josh Chambers That's funny.

[@grungesoundsgood]

The Pixie's are one of those bands that are just TOO fucking good. their songs are some of the finest tunes ever written. Their Albums should be handed out in schools and hospitals.

[@robertangels4261]

yes, handed out in schools and hospitals. One of the best comments EVER !!!!

[@orangesoda641]

You are insanely on spot my friend

[@mattdonnelly1972]

Three masterclasses in this video: Cheryl on interviewing, the Pixies on songwriting, and the sound engineer on making it all sound awesome.

[@jylmama]

I really like what the violin adds to the sound. I think she is a great fit for the band. Yay! I can't wait to see them in the summer!

[@logandogan272]

How was it?

[@jylmama]

@@logandogan272 it was fantastic! Then I saw them again in Tulsa a few months later. They never disappoint.

[@srobertlund1]

Thank you KEXP for continuing to bring bands like the Pixies us.

[@andycoates7171]

You know I was not sure what would happen to the Pixies when Kim Deal left… but listening to Paz play the violin on Green and Blues she's adding to their sound. The violin really fits well with Joey's guitar playing and the two sounds compliment each other. Paz is the right person to replace Kim just to add an unknown dimension to the Pixies sound. I thought Kim was awesome in the Pixies but the music is getting interesting again with Paz bringing some new sound in!

[@govindasgarden]

man, that song Green and Blues is lovely

[@rebjiii]

yep - 'Greens and Blues' is a great new song by them

[@dcrone51]

Cheryl Waters does great interviews. This one no exception.

[@logandogan272]

Cheryl is so fricken emotionally beautiful

[@forumknight]

I’d love to have a coffee and cake with her and talk about music

[@dynjarren8355]

The addition of Paz is like a rebirth for this band. I really enjoy her violin playing and it brings a new sound and depth to these new songs. Brilliant! I didn’t think it was possible to revive their career. But this is the second chapter after Kim left. She left a big hole in their sound because she had great harmonies with Francis. But now this is the next phase for this group and they sound great! I’m so happy for them! The late great Bowie praised the Pixies in a documentary. He said they were the best American band because of the songs. He even covered one of their songs in concert. That is high praise! And everyone knows the story of Nirvana and that Cobain said he was trying to sound like the Pixies when he wrote Teen Spirit. Long Live the Pixies! 🧚‍♂️🧚🧚‍♀️

[@rutlefan6476]

When asked why Radiohead had changed their sound, Jonny Greenwood explained that they were basically imitating the Pixies and there's only so many Pixies albums to imitate.

[@SeanOSullivan-xl2wy]

Bowie covered "Cactus", which is like the Hitchhiker's guide to compulsive sexual obsession.

[@orangesoda641]

Love all the versions that they played in a reserved manner , revising the song into studio style that feel like they play in living room with family and friends

[@davidchatelain5739]

I just love Cheryl Waters! She seem,so nice

[@progressiveRAMONETTI]

When I hear Pixies' music I'm in heaven.

[@iwillnevergetone5]

i know i'm super late to the party, but i've been really getting into the pixies as of late. much respect to kim (both), also loving the energy paz is bringing to the band. good stuff

[@ioncewasmikey]

Never too late man!

[@packatk7431]

Saw them in concert in '92 sounded amazing... saw them again in '19 sounded just as amazing... these guys are the real deal.

[@HornedBee]

DEAL hehehehe

[@brianengland4123]

Thank you KEXP. With the extinction of our "Local Record Stores", it's not easy to find good music. Inviting great bands to play live is the next best thing.

[@Snapcase-yr1nw]

Still relevant; one of the most important bands ever.

[@ricardothorburn4089]

Brilliant session - The Pixies have been one of my favorite bands for many years, great to see them doing new things in a new direction rather than more of the same.

That host is so wonderful and she always does a GREAT job. Also a shout out for the KEXP sound Crew

Not my favorite Pixies tunes, but solid tunes, especially Snakes. I miss Kim as much as anyone but life goes on with Paz. I hope they keep writing tunes now

I hope too ;)

[@raskaskoneisto]

HOW HAVE I MISSED THIS WTF

[@CaptainMyCaptain33]

Frank and his wife owned a bar we used to play at all the time. I lived right across the street from it and would go there and just slowly drink beers when I was bored. Never knowing the bald dude that was there from time to time sitting quietly by himself ( until I struck up convo and learned his name) was fuckin Frank Black of the Pixies. Back then, all I had was a couple old pixies LPs. KZbin didn’t exist and the band wasn’t touring. So I had no idea that is who he was until much later after the fact. I just knew of a guy I chatted with named Frank who owned a bar. And, wrote some of the most iconic songs of my youth. Thanks for telling me dude! It’s not like I would have been suckin your farts. It was a musical town. Everyone played in GREAT bands. That bar was called Tiny Tavern. In Eugene Oregon on Blair street. Next to one of the all time greatest punk venues (Ickys) that ever existed in a time when all bands were just, GOOD. Wonder if that bar is there still and if he still owns it....or if it sits as a quiet unknown landmark.

[@kalebvera1841]

his real name isnt Frank its Charles why would he introduce himself as Frank he only uses that name for showbusiness. he probably told you he was him but wasnt just went along when you asked him [hey arent yo frank black¨?

[@09nob]

Bless her the interviewer seems totally star struck like she's just keeping it together, I can't blame her.

[@rogerhanley1569]

Here's a thought: Paz for full membership! Paz for Pixies! C'mon guys, it doesn't sit well keeping her at a distance as just a Darryl Jones-style second-tier player. (Here's another thought: Jones for full membership! Jones for Stones!) And to pre-empt the inevitable "but nobody can ever replace Kim" comments: that's true, we love kim, but Paz is Paz and Paz is great, give her her due!

Charles looks well, and not frustrated or dealing with akward band drama. That makes me happy to see. Also always like to listen to Cheryl's interviews with my favorite bands.

[@thecharlesfoley]

That wasn't a Kim bash by the way ( just read what I wrote) just meant that it looks like Charles, David and Joe have hit a really beatiful point in their careers. I do think Paz is a fantastic fit just like she is in any project I've heard her involved in.

KEXP: Are you ever going to get off your duffs and post the Mark Mulcahy performance from last year? It's insane to see all these new videos, and yet Mulcahy's keeps being left behind. Get with it! I want to see his full performance up by the end of Feb. 2014. And I'm not the only one one who is waiting.

[@collection63]

I couldn't agree w/you more Terrence! KEXP time to get on the stick and stop holding out on us. Time to post the Mark Mulcahy performance.

Maybe they didn't get permission from the artist/agent/label/etc to release the video.
