    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.

    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!

    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. UA-cam 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.

      son totalmente diferentes. Pixies con Kim, es Pixies. Pixies con Paz, es mas bien Frank Black.
      La diferencia es que Kim es extremamente creativa cuanto Charles y musicalmente había un sello creativo que ella daba, por esto los problemas entre Black Francis y Kim Deal: él lo que quería era "orquestales" a los cuales dirigir, no alguien más que quisiera meter también su creatividad y Kim Deal evidentemente era sofocada al ser limitada en sus propuestas. Hoy Pixies es lo que Charles buscaba e hizo como solista, es gente que hace y toca lo que él dice. Hoy Pixies es la orquesta de Franck Black.

    Sounds so different without Kim Deal

      Agreed. Sounds so similar with Frank black, though

      i still like his lyrics and song topics. and joey's guitar. Paz doesn't have the same charisma as Kim, but sings and plays well plus her violin.

      Maybe because Kim didn't play violin in an acoustic set....

      It's weird. It's like they're different people or something.

    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!

    I love Kim but Frank, Joe and David are pretty much enough to say that it is still the Pixies...and they still rocks after so many years...
